Transportation & Parking Implementation Project: Three Year Working Plan Final Report April 1, 2010 – March 31, 2013 This report summarizes Camosun’s efforts in the Transportation and Parking Implementation Project (TPIP)

established from the Transportation and Parking Management (TPM) Plan (2009). There were 4 phases

identified in the TPIP (please see Transportation and Parking Management Project Charter1). The first phase

included surveying Camosun students and employees for the first time on transportation practices and

willingness to look at alternatives, reviewing current transportation conditions at and to Camosun, and

developing recommendations for moving forward in a framework appropriate for Camosun. Please see

“Camosun College Transportation and Parking Management Plan” by Todd Litman (2009)2 which was the result

of the first phase. Subsequently, a three year Transportation and Parking Management (TPM) working plan was

developed to support phases 2 – 4 of the Project. This report summarizes the efforts of the TPM working plan,

which concluded in March 2013.

BACKGROUND:

Goals and Objectives A primary goal of Camosun College transportation and parking planning is to provide convenient and affordable

access to the College’s campuses. Various other goals and objectives are defined in the following official

documents:

Provide a framework for addressing transportation and parking problems (Transportation and Parking

Management Charter).

Reduce traffic congestion around the campuses and the total number of motor vehicles driven to the

college (Transportation and Parking Management Charter).

Accommodate additional campus development, minimize impervious surfaces and preserve green

space (Transportation and Parking Management Charter).

Improve transportation within the context of developing an accessible, sustainable, and

environmentally conscionable service (Camosun Strategic Plan).

Improve mobility options to the college, particularly for people who are economically or physically

disadvantaged, including those burdened by rising fuel prices.

Achieve BC greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets. By 2020 and for each subsequent year,

BC GHG emissions will be at least 33% less than in 2007. By 2050 and for each subsequent year, BC

greenhouse gas emissions will be at least 80% less than in 2007 (BC Government Greenhouse Gas

Emission Plan).

Reduce Camosun’s greenhouse gas emissions by 8.5% or 200 tonnes by the year 2012 (Camosun

Energy Plan).

Implement an Energy Management Project to reduce energy use, increase energy efficiency and

reduce the production of greenhouse gases (Camosun Strategic Plan).

TPM Plan Recommendations (2009) at a glance The three –year work plan focused on working towards the following eight recommendations from the

Transportation and Parking Management Plan (Litman 2009):

1. Change Management: Change how transportation and parking problems are defined and the range of

solutions considered. Create new organizational relationships.

2. Transportation Management Program (TMP): establish a program within Ancillary Services responsible for

transportation and parking management activities.

3. Transportation Management Association (TMA): Coordinate with other local organizations (UVic, VIHA,

VITP, municipal governments, businesses, etc.) to provide transportation and parking management services.

4. Improve and support transportation options: Work with BC Transit, local, regional and provincial

governments to improve the quantity and quality of alternative modes

4.1 Public transit: Increase transit routes, service frequency and service hours. Improve user

information, waiting areas and amenities such as onboard Internet access.

4.2 Ridesharing (carpooling and vanpooling): Improve rideshare matching services, promotion efforts

and incentives.

4.3 Walking conditions: Improve walking conditions on and around the campus. Insure universal design

(facilities that accommodate all users).

4.4 Cycling conditions: Improve cycling conditions on and around

campus, including paths, lanes, parking and support services.

4.5 Carsharing and taxi services: Insure that carsharing and taxi services

are conveniently available on campuses.

4.6 Telework: Establish telework policies

4.7 Public transit: Increase transit routes, service frequency and service

hours. Improve user information, waiting areas and amenities such as

onboard Internet access.

5 Alternative schedules: Encourage alternative class and work schedules that reduce travel peaks.

5.1 Intercampus transport: Support services

5.2 Alternative schedules: Encourage alternative class and work schedules that reduce travel peaks.

5.3 Intercampus transport: Create programs

6 Parking management: Implement various parking management strategies.

6.1 Shared parking: Share parking facilities among users and buildings, including offsite parking as an

overflow option.

6.2 Staff parking pricing and cash out: Eliminate or cash out free employee parking. Charge employees

for parking and offer alternative benefits.

6.3 Parking price targets: Establish targets to increase parking fees, particularly during peak periods, to

reduce problems and generate revenues for transportation programs.

6.4 Overflow parking plans: Establish overflow parking plans for special events.

6.5 Improve parking user information and enforcement: Provide better user information on parking

and transportation options. Improve enforcement on campus, and of nearby spillover parking.

6.6 Parking pass rules and audits: Establish clearer rules concerning the allocation of free parking

passes. Provide alternatives, such as free transit passes.

7 Smart growth development policies: Build compact development, particularly affordable housing, within or

near existing campuses, including on existing parking lots.

8 Program evaluation: Perform ongoing evaluation to track problems, impacts and user satisfaction.

Specific targets for the above and the three-year work plan deliverables are identified and evaluated in detail in

Appendix A.

THREE YEAR HIGHLIGHTS (2010 – 13)

In the last three years, Camosun has made a significant investment to launch and support a more rigorous

transportation and parking program. A full report out on deliverables as it relates to the initial targets is

available in Appendix A.

Camosun’s TPM program has created positive shifts in the perception of parking and transportation at the

college. Critical to this has been the support and commitment from the college’s senior leadership and from

partners via the Transportation and Parking Implementation Plan (TPIP) Steering Committee. The TPIP group

has been particularly

instrumental in providing

feedback and

recommendations on key

actions, as well as providing

advice on timing and ways to

collaborate with regional

stakeholders. Working

relationships have been

established with local and


2013

regional transportation partners to advance the quantity and quality of alternative transportation modes.

Information about transportation and parking rules, management and processes (for both personal and business

vehicle use and for larger events), combined with ongoing support for alternative transportation options (e.g.

Alternative Transportation Campaign), is gradually shifting the perception of parking as a free resource. Work

with other departments (in particular ITS, Human Resources, Communications and Finance) has contributed

greatly to operational changes, as well as staff and student awareness of those changes (e.g. annual

permit/renewal database system, taxable benefits for staff parking and guest parking guidelines).

Other highlights and achievements include:

Program development & delivery: The Transportation Management Program (TMP) is now entrenched

within the Ancillary Services department (which was shifted from Physical Resources in 2008),

Transportation & Parking unit.

o Research that has been initiated and now

regularized, such as the biannual Getting Here

Survey, Mode Split survey, parking stall counts,

etc. has provided baseline and comparative information about the transportation and parking

situation. These findings are then incorporated with various programs, information updates, and

activities to promote and support alternative transportation and to improve parking

management. This work is integrated into the annual business plan with more developments to

come as the program continues to mature.

o Information delivery and outreach to students and employees is now built into the annual

business process of the Transportation & Parking unit.).

o Improvements to process and guidelines regarding special event parking.

o Development of more efficient parking administrative system, saving time and money for

Camosun’s parking administration process.

Market-Based Pricing for Parking supports the strategies in the

TPM plan3. Predictable and incremental parking rate increases

have been implemented since 2008. From 2010 to 2013,

parking rates have increased from $5 to $6 representing a 20%

increase over the three-year period4. This has also contributed

to increase revenue to support alternative transportation as

well as college operations.

Transportation mode shifts5 are demonstrated by a number of

positive trends since 2010:

3 Todd Litman’s 2009 report recommended that Camosun implement annual increases between 10 - 20% over a period of

three to five years to achieve the TPM objectives. 4 Note, with the Province of BC rescinding the HST, starting in April 2013, GST (5%) will still be charged, but not the 7% PST.

Camosun implemented a “soft” increase in parking fees, absorbing the 7% formerly charged for HST. 5 As indicated by the Parking and Transportation Management Survey (2008 and 2011) and mode split counts (2010 and

2012).


2013

o Fewer people are driving to campus. From

2010 – 13, vehicle counts have dropped 7% (from 56% to

49%) as a proportion of total mode shares6. This is even more

significant when compared to 2008 vehicle use (63%). Most

significantly, both Interurban and Lansdowne showed a

decrease in SOV traffic (down 3.8% and 5.4% respectively

from the 2010 to the 2012 mode split counts)7. Other

positive trends point to more transit users and pedestrians.

o Camosun mode share splits are comparable

with UVic – a considerable achievement given that Camosun

does not have nearly the same transit service or alternative

travel incentives that UVic does.

o More people are walking or taking the bus to Camosun (an increase of about 5% since 2010)8.

o More people are willing to consider alternative commute modes such as public transit,

ridesharing, telework/online courses and walking in 2011 (compared to 2008)9.

Parking improvements:

o Parking availability has slightly improved at both campuses, as reflected by more vacant spaces

at peak periods (Lansdowne does not have nearly the same degree of parking shortages as

Interurban).

o The number of annual parking violations has been reduced by nearly 1000, reflecting greater

awareness and compliance with parking rules and regulations.

6 This includes SOVs and cars with two or more passengers.

7 For comparison, UVic took 12 years (1996 - 2008) to reduce the number of SOVs coming to campus by 20%.

UBC took 14

years (1997-2011) to decrease the number of SOVs coming to campus by 14%. Both UVic and UBC charge for staff parking.

o Since 2010, four parking bursaries per year ($500/each)

have been made available for those students with access

and affordability issues.

In support of the smart growth objectives, successful parking

variance applications (supported by the TPM efforts to date)

were approved by Saanich.

A Joint CCFA (Camosun College Faculty Association) and College

committee agreed upon and presented the bargaining teams

with recommendations for options to the benefit of free parking

which were used in the 2013 bargaining sessions.

Ongoing engagement in regional transportation planning and input on several regional and local

transportation issues10.

Transportation and Parking Management benchmarking is reported in Appendix B and provides greater detail on

actual figures. Summary reports from year one, two and three of the TPIP project are contained in Appendix C.

Challenges Met, Obstacles to Overcome Free parking for Camosun employees still exists. This creates little

incentive for employees to choose alternative transportation options, and provides little support for those who voluntarily opt out of the parking pass system.

Student employees were difficult to obtain for various efforts, resulting in less outreach than originally anticipated.

Interurban campus transportation challenges are larger than Camosun can surmount alone, resulting in the habitual nature of solo driving (5 days/week),11 and will take time and collaboration with regional partners to address. These challenges include:

o Bus service at Interurban does not have the same frequency or route service as Lansdowne. This creates lower satisfaction levels, lower ridership and fewer people considering it as an option12.

o Interurban campus is far less walkable than Lansdowne, as reflected by our mode share counts and survey13.

o Parking capacity/availability is more likely to be rated as “Poor” or “Very poor” at Interurban, especially by students.

o The Wilkinson/Interurban Road intersection poses issues for most individuals based primarily at Interurban campus.

10

This includes the CRD Regional Transportation Plan, Saanich pedestrian and cycling improvements, BC Transit Commission, Shelbourne Valley Action Plan, etc. 11

According to the 2011 survey, almost half of full-time students at the Interurban campus usually drive alone compared to just over one-third at Lansdowne. 12

Bus service to Interurban is rated merely “Adequate” or “Poor” by almost 60% of respondents (compared to 48% at Lansdowne). 13

According to the 2012 Mode Split Survey, almost 15 times as many people walk to Lansdowne (2178) as to Interurban (148).


2013

o Having two campuses, combined with a high proportion of staff using personal vehicles to get to work, results in significant volume of campus-to-campus travel in SOVs. Currently, there is no incentive for employees to carpool.

Staff capacity in the Transportation & Parking unit is not equal to the goals and objectives within the original three year plan. This has been exacerbated by the number of managers of throughout the Project, creating continuity and consistency issues.

MOVING FORWARD

While the goals and targets of the original TPM Plan are

still relevant, there will be a shift to consolidate these and

make the work plan more achievable within the resources

of the office. The following have also been identified as

priorities.

Transportation Management Association (TMA): the TMA met twice in August and February 2011. There was good reception from UVic and VITP representatives, and the meeting resulted in a better understanding of shared issues. Unfortunately, the TMA has not since convened resulting in failure to achieve original coordination objectives. The 2013 – 16 Plan will work to reinvigorate this group, and will work to add new members as appropriate.

Maintain the support and engagement of a stakeholder advisory committee similar to the TPIP Steering Committee.

Ongoing change management to support shifts towards TDM: communications and policy/guidelines improvements will be central to ensuring that the work of the office is sustainable, efficient and effective. A constant aspect of the work will be communication and policy change. Examples include:

o Communications with departments about parking statistics, policies and processes o Celebrating and acknowledging successes o Promoting and supporting alternative transportation behaviours through social marketing,

incentives, resources, and information o Exploring ways to shift peak travel periods and/or the need to travel in the first place (e.g. use of

Distributed Education (DE) and telecommuting) o Creating more dynamic communication

avenues with students (e.g. video, Facebook, Twitter).

o Exploring improved efficiency with parking permits (E.g. Print Services and ITS)

o Develop policies to support and incent alternative transportation. Ensure these solutions are catered to be campus-specific (e.g. equal reimbursement for staff who cycle or bus campus to campus; development of Campus-to-Campus transportation solutions, carpooling/rideshare program, etc.)


2013

Parking rate increases. In keeping with the TPM recommendation, market based pricing mechanisms will continue to be implemented on an annual basis, with approval from the college executive. These increases will be incremental, clearly communicated, and in line with parking prices in the region including UVic.

Integration with other college actions and priorities such as: o Campus Planning o New buildings and development (e.g. Centre for Trades Education & Innovation, student

residences) o Climate Action Plan o Environmental Sustainability Plan

48% at INT (3728 cars); 32% at LANS (2915 cars); reflecting reductions of 4% and 5% respectively in mode share proportion but an actual increase in overall vehicle numbers).

Vacancy counts are relatively constant, and show slight improvement from 2008 baseline (3.5% for INT (min) and 20% for Lans (min))

Free staff parking and Interurban bus service tends to be two major barriers to influencing change.

stalls was 634.5, 58.3% of the total number of stalls.

Mode Split This chart shows the breakdown of the modal split in percentages. 2010 is shown in orange, 2012 is shown in red. Some

positive changes are reflected between the two years: Vehicles on campus have declined by 6.8% (SOVs and carpoolers)

as a proportion of overall modes, pedestrians and transit users are up by 5.4% (note: in the next modal split survey,

pedestrians and transit users can be charted as separate categories). Cyclists are down by 0.3%.

Parking Violations (Source: Robbins Parking)

The trend seems to indicate that violations are decreasing and that, proportionally, more people are paying their tickets

than leaving them unpaid15. According to Robbins, from Dec 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013 over 30 cars have been towed or

booted. Data prior to these dates is unavailable.

BC Transit Service Both sets of charts reflect the actual number of buses arriving on campus on any given day in the fall between the hours

of 7:30 – 10:30 am and 2:30-5:00 pm. Double decker buses are counted in this average as two buses since they have

twice the passenger capacity of a “low-floor” or standard bus. Lansdowne sees 1.14 buses arriving every minute in the

morning (17 buses per 15-minute period) and 1 per minute in the afternoon (15 per 15-minute interval). At Interurban,

0.26 buses arrive every minute in the morning (3.9 buses every 15 minutes), and 0.27 per minute (3.7 per 15-minute

interval) in the afternoon. Interurban has approximately 75% of the student population but receives only 23-25% of the

bus service.

Business Travel (within Victoria) Reimbursements are shown in dollar figures for the number of local kilometres (i.e within Victoria) reported by

employees for College business17. The 2012/13 academic year saw 164,270 local kms with $73,921.00 in

reimbursements (equal to travelling around the surface of the earth four times!). The cost for 2012 would fund one

semester’s worth of tuition for 61 full-time students.

Parking Prices A 36% increase in weekly parking rates occurred between 2008 and 2010, with a 16.7% raise in weekly rates between

2010 and 2012. 17

NOTE: only core government must report (and offset) business travel. 43 tonnes of CO2 were generated in 2012. If we had to pay to offset these emissions, the total amount for 2012 would be $1085, based on $25/tonne.

Monthly motorcycle rates doubled between 2008 and 2010, and went up another 20% between 2010 and 2012. In

January 2013, there was an additional 16.7% increase in monthly motorcycle parking rates.

In comparison, UVic’s rates range from $7 to $15 per day, with a $28 weekly charge and a flat rate of $2.25 between 6

pm and 8 am and on weekends. At UBC (Vancouver, not Okanagan), parking costs $5.50-$13/day and $85-$103/month

(weekly permits are not available, but these prices would average out to $21-$26 per week).
