Deakin University Travel and Transportation Strategy

Deakin University has four campuses in Victoria, each vastly different in its population, building density, accessibility, and surrounding land uses. They also have a set of overarching sustainable aspirations, including reducing the carbon footprint associated with people accessing and traveling between campuses.

Our team was engaged to investigate how people accessing and traveling between campuses could do so more sustainably into the future. We reviewed current and future arrangements at each campus and benchmarked them against other universities in Victoria around urban factors that influence travel behavior to help understand what future mode shares could be achieved. To realise more sustainable mode shares for each campus, we developed a more tactical approach to the development and delivery of measures that help nudge travel behavior. Our resulting travel and transportation strategy reflected the fast-changing environment of University campuses while continuing to create a high-quality user experience for students, staff, and visitors.

The findings were used to develop a set of initial transportation management measures, as well as outline the potential capital and operational cost savings that could be expected if more sustainable travel behaviors were achieved.
