Facilities Council Action:
Long-Range Transportation Planning Group Charter
- Adopted on 4/12/05

Long-Range Transportation Planning Group Charter 

Problem Statement : The college has a limited number of improved parking spaces at all of its locations. At this time, the number of spaces on main campus are adequate except (a) during the first week of classes for Fall, Winter and Spring terms; and (b) for a few large events held during a week day. Adequacy of parking at other locations varies. The facilities master plan shows that with moderate growth in the future, the area available for surface parking on the main campus will become inadequate assuming the same car use habits of students and employees as currently experienced. Parking is already inadequate at some locations other than the main campus. The college needs a long-range transportation plan to deal with these issues.

Purpose : Long-range plan setting direction and goals for transportation mechanisms to and from all college locations and the resulting needs for parking.

Outcomes: The transportation plan shall include:

1. Incentives for the use of mass transit and a component addressing expanded use of mass transit to and from college locations;
2. Incentives for carpooling and using alternative energy vehicles;
3. Long-range parking needs and plans given #2 and #3 above;
4. A component addressing safety issues related to transportation and parking at college facilities;
5. A review of the current Transportation Fee and recommendations for funding anticipated costs incurred by implementation of the long-range plan;
6. Specific goals including but not limited to: (a) reduction of the number of vehicle trips to and from college locations; (b) increased use of mass transit; (c) reduced impact on the environment.
7. The group may address policy issues related to parking at college facilities.

Scope & Timelines:

•  The group will present preliminary recommendations on a long-range plan framework to the Facilities Council by the last meeting of Spring Term.

•  A draft of a full plan will be completed by November 15, 2005.

•  The group will not address issues that belong in collective bargaining but may list these issues as they arise.

Principles:

•  The plan shall use principles of sustainability as agreed upon with the Facilities Council.

•  The plan shall use as a framework the long-range plans of the Lane Transit District for services to the Main Campus and other college facilities.

•  The group shall work toward consensus on recommendations. If consensus cannot be achieved, there will be majority and minority reports.

•  The group will report regularly on its progress to the Facilities Council and will post its agendas and minutes on the Facilities Council website.

•  The group will seek a wide variety of input including, but not limited to: (a) input from students and employees at different college locations and (b) input from departments associated with high attendance special events (e.g., Athletics, CML, Performing Arts, etc.).

•  The group will carefully consider the impact of other college-wide plans on transportation issues and will consult with other governance councils as appropriate.

Authority: The group will make recommendations to the Facilities Council. Final approval authority rests with the President and the Board of Education.

Adopted: April 12, 2005
