University of Massachusetts Lowell Campus Transportation Plan VI. Implementation – Next Steps This section outlines an implementation plan for the Campus Transportation Plan recommendations, including the responsible UMass Lowell departments and/or external stakeholders, timeline and, where appropriate, potential monitoring requirements for each action. The Implementation Plan is organized as follows: •• Priority TDM Actions •• Near-Term Actions •• Infrastructure Improvements For the recommended infrastructure improvements, it should be noted that improvements at a specific location may include more than one timeline, indicating that not all actions are expected to be implemented simultaneously. •• In order to efficiently and effectively implement this plan, several internal working groups and external coordination committees should be established to ensure the appropriate stakeholders are consulted. For example, working groups to address the following policy changes are suggested: Performance Monitoring Performance monitoring should occur in order to measure the effectiveness of existing and future transportation services. Some monitoring is a required part of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Rideshare reports, due every two years. Other monitoring efforts, such as parking lot data collection and transportation surveys, provide valuable information to the Parking and Transportation Department to better understand current and future behavior on campus and demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of current and future TDM programs. With this data, UMass Lowell can adjust policies and strategies to better suit its needs. •• Parking pricing policy •• Organization and initiation of new carpooling opportunities •• Strengthening parking enforcement •• Class schedule staggering •• Residential parking and other parking policies •• Analysis of flex-work policy Additionally, an infrastructure coordination committee should be established with the City of Lowell.
