Abstract
This pilot program utilized an online survey to identify driver behaviors among students, faculty, and staff on the University of South Florida (USF) Tampa campus. Adopting a social marketing approach, the program focused on identifying and addressing driver safety issues and behaviors. The research aimed to develop recommendations for creating a safer driving environment at USF by updating driver safety information for students and raising awareness about safety across all campus transportation modes.
As part of this initiative, the USF Student Government (SG) partnered with the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) to pilot a new student transportation officer position within SG leadership. This role is designed to focus on transportation safety issues, advocate for improved campus roadway infrastructure, and promote social improvements. Appointing a dedicated transportation officer could significantly enhance safety and advocacy efforts on campus.
