Sustainable Transportation Committee

A robust sustainable transportation program can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, save campus users money and time, and provide healthy and safe alternatives to the single occupant vehicle. In Spring 2022 Cal Poly Humboldt President Tom Jackson and the University Senate authorized the establishment of the Sustainable Transportation Committee (STC). Its purpose is to assist the university in identifying and prioritizing opportunities to improve - and to reduce barriers to - the use of pedestrian, bicycling, transit and other non-single occupancy vehicle commute modes.

STC Duties

  1. Develop a report of the campus’ transportation needs and recommendations to improve bicycle, pedestrian and transit commute mode share.
  2. Provide input to the development of a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan.
  3. Evaluate effectiveness of the campus’ TDM strategies through cost/benefit analysis and hourly utilization of various transportation modes.
  4. Identify and recommend TDM strategies to prioritize campus investment and help request/seek funding for those strategies.
  5. Use campus transportation performance data to recommend new programs and/or changes in strategy.
  6. Assist in determining the need for the construction of new parking assets or improvement of existing parking assets.
  7. In the event the campus seeks new parking improvements and/or facilities, provide a letter to confirm the recommendations of the STC.
