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).

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.

More than 100 Clemson faculty members, staff and students attended a Public Service Activities summit on improving the University’s connection with South Carolina’s communities. In my opening comments at the summit, I said that I believe the land-grant univer- sity model may be the best idea America ever had. It has fundamentally changed our country in the most positive ways. Its success, however, may have hindered our ability to evolve. When you hit a home run, you’re not inclined to change anything.
