Camosun College
Transportation and Parking Implementation Project
Year Three Working Plan Final Report:
April 1, 2012 – March 31, 2013
YEAR THREE (2012/13) HIGHLIGHTS:
Launch of Camosun’s first Alternative Transportation Campaign, an ongoing program to raise
awareness about transportation choices beyond SOVs. Activities in 12/13 included distribution
of information and promotional material, CamFest outreach, Car Free Day and Pancake
breakfast, the launch of a pilot carpool incentive program, and other resources and incentives.
Bi-annual Mode Split Count (October 2012)
Support of cycling initiatives (Campus-to-Campus cycling maps, community recreational ride,
Nasty November Cycling Challenge, Bike to Work Week sponsorship and events, etc.). Nasty
November Cycling challenge had great participation and resulted in a large increase in the
membership for the Bike to Camosun Network (B2CN).
o Bike to Work Week coordination included poetry and photo contests, bicycle mechanic
sessions, film festivals, celebration stations, massage workshops, biker’s breakfast and
brew, participation awards and a finale chocolate and music celebration event (see
Alternative Transportation Campaign final report for a full report)
Improvements to Transportation and Parking Management policies and processes:
o Improved information delivery (e.g. increased use of CamNews and direct emails,
inclusion of parking information into the new employee orientation manual, use of RSS
feeds and regular website updates, attendance of meetings to inform cashiers and
CMTAs of new processes, CamFest and orientation sessions to provide outreach to
students).
o Coordination with Human Resources on alternative transportation and improvements to
business process (e.g. staff parking, taxable benefits, telework policy, etc.).
o Improvements to process regarding special event parking (improved communications, consistency via guides)
o Development of a more effective database system with ITS, saving time and money for Camosun’s parking administration process.
Regional engagement and advocacy: involvement in CRD Regional Transportation Planning process; attendance of the Transit Commission meeting (Dec 2012) to influence transit budget decisions, letter to Saanich re: Wilkinson/Interurban intersection issues, etc.
Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Station at Interurban Campus.
