  • Encouraging Public Transportation to Increase Active Commutation in Manhattan, KS
    Encouraging public transportation to increase active commutation in Manhattan, KS by Annapurna Singh B.S., Magadh University, 2005 M.S., Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, 2008 Ph.D., Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, 2014 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF REGIONAL AND COMMUNITY PLANNING Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional and Community Planning College of Architecture, Planning and Design KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. John Keller Copyright © Annapurna Singh 2018. Abstract Transportation is a means of commutation for goods and people and is also an indicator of socioeconomic status of a community. Recently, there has been much debate and research on the impact of transportation on the health care of a community. Lately, it has been proved that increased dependence of people on cars has led to lack of exercise in their daily life. This lack of exercise has been identified as the root cause of severe cardiovascular ailments like high blood pressure, hypertension and even several types of cancers. As a solution, many planners are now proposing public transit (which forces people to walk to and from transit stations) and other active modes of transport like bikes etc. as alternative transportation options to improve community health and reduce dependence on cars. These options not only help people incorporate exercise in their daily life but a reduction in car usage reduces the demand for parking spaces, traffic congestions, carbon footprints of communities and is fuel efficient. This project based in the City of Manhattan is aimed at suggesting measures to enhance the use of public transit among students at Kansas State University to help incorporate more exercise in their daily lives.

Nearly two decades later, the figure rests at 25 percent. In our current budget, this 20 percent change in allocation represents nearly $135 million that once came from the state and now must come from other places. Our situation is far from unique. Many other states fare worse. For example, California has fallen below 15 percent in state support, and our neighbor, Colorado, joins Vermont and New Hampshire in relying on less than 10 percent support. This steady drop in state-allocated dollars drives much of the conversation about a crisis in higher education. We’ve had to look into new ways to help fund Kansas State University and our students’ educations. Dear Alumni and Friends: We’re doing our part. I am proud of our Arts and Sciences faculty’s ability to secure grants and contracts, which are at I’ll greet you in this new issue of Connections with a an all-time high in helping supply overhead income.
