Description

Pedestrian-focused transportation policies and infrastructure on college campuses is dependent on usability, safety, and the connection to surrounding areas. To do this, I asked two questions: 1) how the multimodal transportation network on University of South Florida’s (USF) Tampa campus functions in regards to usability and safety, 2) how do the policies for pedestrian-focused transportation and infrastructure at USF’s Tampa campus compare to the immediate surrounding area? I used document analysis, observations, and a survey to examine the pattern between usability, safety, and policies in regards to the multimodal transportation network. I found that the relationship between usability and safety in the transportation network largely depended on the policies in place and the influence from the surrounding area. In conclusion, the pedestrian focused transportation system on the USF Tampa campus is inadequate based on usability and safety due to the influence of the surrounding car centric transportation systems.
