TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLAN The parking utilization data were used to estimate a parking demand rate for Pacific Lutheran University. The total university population (including enrollment and employees) has not changed. The number of cars has decreased with alternative transportation options including the Orca Card, Zip Car, Ride Share and carpools. Peak parking demand occurs in the mid morning. The number of cars parked in the campus lots during the AM peak hour were combined, for a total of 1,343 cars. To this was added the net difference in on-street demand between a regular school week (573 cars) and Spring Break week (297 cars). Total campus parking demand is estimated at 1,619 cars. Using student enrollment (3,540 students) as the independent variable, this equates to peak parking demand of 0.46 vehicles per student. Using total school population (4,440 persons) as the independent variable results in a peak parking demand rate of 0.36 vehicles per person. This is similar to the parking demand rate (0.30 vehicles per school population) published in Parking Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 3rd Edition, 2004) for a University/College (Land Use: 550). Since overall peak parking utilization for the campus is 81%, and considering that the nearby streets are able to absorb some campus parking demand, it does not appear that parking supply is constraining parking demand at the campus. These demand rates and the utilization by lot and block face have been developed specifically for PLU. As a result, they are appropriate for use in evaluating future campus conditions. November 2011 Potential for additional traffic analysis will be triggered by the following: • Enrollment increase beyond 20% • Roadway network changes • Implementation of the stadium PLU will have the discretion to study on-site circulation and access if a particular project impacts more than just that building, such as moving the center of activity and therefore creating possible circulation and parking issues. 92 Pacific Lutheran University MIMP
TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLAN TRAFFIC & PARKING ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANS Changes to Enrollment and Campus Buildings As described above, current enrollment at PLU averaged about 3,540 students during the 2006- 2007 academic year. The enrollment in 2010-2011 is nearly identical at 3,550 students. The longrange goals, that are the basis for the Major Institution Master Plan (MIMP), expect on-campus enrollment to remain between 3,600 and 3,700 through year 2010 and to not exceed 4,000 over the next ten years. Based on these figures, the campus could experience an increase in student enrollment of about 460 students during the planning horizon for the MIMP. The new students could be graduate level students that would most likely attend classes on weekends and evenings and may not increase peak parking demand during mid-morning time periods. In addition, nearly all of the planned campus development projects will focus on renovation and possible replacement of existing buildings or providing additional residential housing (student beds) that will increase the proportion of students living on campus. Other planned projects include Phase 1 of a new sports and fitness center, two new all weather athletic fields with spectator seating for up to 4,500 people (evaluated later), and a new main campus entrance at Park Avenue. In terms of typical school day traffic generation, only the expected increase in student enrollment would result in changes to traffic or parking demand. The slight increase in student enrollment is expected to be off-set by a higher proportion of students living on campus (and lower proportion of students commuting to the campus). However, to estimate the potential traffic generation effects of the increase in enrollment, equations published in Trip Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 7th Edition, 2003) for a University/College (Land Use 550) were applied. The added enrollment of 460 students could result in an additional 1,030 trips per day, 97 AM peak hour trips, and 87 PM peak hour trips. It should be noted that the ITE trip generation rates includes all types of trips—those made by students as well as staff and visitors. Parking demand could also increase with the additional enrollment. Based on the parking demand rates described above, and assuming limited increases in employees, the increase in student enrollment of 460 students could result in an increase in peak parking demand of between 165 and 210 vehicles. While some new buildings on campus could displace existing on-campus parking, PLU plans to construct replacement parking at a rate of one space for every lost space. In addition, the future parking demand rate is expected to be reduced with the introduction of new parking management efforts, expanded transit options, and November 2011 Pacific Lutheran University MIMP 93
