The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) goal is to improve safety for all modes of transportation on campus and reduce the number of single occupancy vehicle miles traveled on campus by encouraging ride sharing, bicycling, walking, and utilizing mass transit. One focus of TDM is educating and assisting the campus community in the use of active transportation. In support of bicycling, TDM has worked with various agencies on efforts to increase safety and promote bicycling, including:
- Creating a bike friendly university through engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation, as outlined in the Campus Bicycle Plan
- Partnering with the Campus Bicycle Shop
- Installing bicycle repair stations on campus
- Providing headlights, tail lights, and reflectors at the annual Light the Night event
- Coordinating Bicycle Month, including Bike to Work/School Day
- Improving bicycle infrastructure, including bicycle parking, paths & lanes, signage & striping
TDM analyzes, assesses, and advocates for a variety of campus transportation needs. TDM also manages the approved closures process. Official street, sidewalk, and road closures on the Urbana campus will be posted after review and approval by the Transportation Demand Management department.
