EVALUATING TRANSIT SYSTEMS IN A UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT THE CLEMSON UNIVERSITY CASE STUDY A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Civil Engineering by Katerina Valentine Bartman August 2010 Accepted by: Dr. Mashrur Chowdhury, Co-Committee Chair Dr. Jennifer Ogle, Co-Committee Chair Dr. Anne Dunning i ABSTRACT With the economy in a slow recovery, enrollment in higher education is increasing. This means that universities across the country must accommodate these new students, their vehicles, and local transportation needs. Campus setting and ambiance is a treasured quality on a university campus resulting in the approval of additional surface lots and parking garages being difficult or restricted. To combat the increased number of single occupancy vehicles, universities are developing and encouraging the use of multi- modal transportation by providing pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation facilities along with providing users with the information necessary to make the optimal modal choice (Boyles, 2006). This research developed a framework to evaluate transit in the context of mobility currently on a university campus. The framework includes a process that any university can utilize to evaluate its current and future transit efficiency levels and identify solutions through an integrated process of planning, operations, and performance monitoring. Clemson University’s campus in Clemson, South Carolina serves as a case study for the test application of this process. This study evaluates Clemson University’s performance in providing adequate transportation options to the university community in comparison with similar universities. Customer satisfaction surveys are used to determine deficiencies from the user’s perspective. Traffic simulations and a matrix alternative analysis have evaluated several alternatives developed through integrating the results of transit capacity surveys, user surveys, and considerations for pedestrian and bicycle ii traffic to create seamless operations and optimal function of all transportation modes available. The case study presented in this thesis can serve as a guide to university campuses beginning to have significant mobility problems. It also provides an insight into the institutional or organizational structures that facilitate efficient, high-quality transportation services, which can guide universities to pursue structural or policy changes to improve mobility. Although the process is tailored for small- or medium- sized universities outside of urban areas, the evaluation framework can be customized for use at any university regardless of its size or location. iii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my mom and tato for supporting me and pushing me to always strive for the best. It is also dedicated to my fiancé for his patience and willingness to read anything I write. Thanks for everything. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to Dr. Jennifer Ogle and Dr. Ronnie Chowdhury for their continual support, guidance, and encouragement throughout my education at Clemson University. Many thanks also go to Dr. Anne Dunning for her enthusiasm and alternative perspective to transportation issues. I would also like to thank Dr. George Smith and Pete Knudsen for their time, patience, and unyielding belief that we can make transportation better. A sincere appreciation goes out to the Dwight D. Eisenhower Graduate Transportation Fellowship Program for their financial assistance in my education and Dr. Ryan Fries for the opportunity to utilize and expand on his work. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page TITLE PAGE .................................................................................................................... i ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... ii DEDICATIONS .............................................................................................................. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................... v LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................ viii LIST OF FIGURES ......................................................................................................... x CHAPTER I.

For some, this may mean access to resources to help them through difficult times, while for others that may mean knowledge of local events and experiences to enhance their time in the area, whether for a short visit or an extended residency. Hopefully, this encourages involvement in all aspects of our community and maybe shed some light on some lesser known groups and organizations in the area. This guide includes resources and organizations in Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, and Greenville counties, which are shown in the map below. Clemson is marked by the City logo on the map, hiding in the bottom corner of Pickens County, right on the border of both Anderson and Oconee counties. (These three counties are collectively known as the Tri-County area.) Clemson is also just a short drive from Greenville, which is a larger, more metropolitan area. The City of Clemson is a university town that provides a strong sense of community and a high quality of life for its residents. University students add to its diversity and vitality.

HISTORY OF CLEMSON The City of Clemson started as the Village of Calhoun. It was originally settled in 1872 before the establishment of Clemson University. The town developed around the railroad tracks and contributed to the agricultural growth that characterized upstate South Carolina. The Town of Calhoun was officially chartered in 1892. In 1886, Thomas Green Clemson, the son-in-law of John C. Calhoun, willed the Calhoun plantation to the State of South Carolina for a school. With classes beginning at the Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1893, the Town’s growth began to gravitate towards the institution as it provided new opportunities for the local population.
