Following up on an initial request in April, Ohio State University is asking the board of trustees this week to officially give the go-ahead to start a new comprehensive transportation and parking plan for campus.
Ohio State wants to build upon the high-level parking and transit plans drafted up in early 2017 with a more pedestrian-centered campus core, which will be created by placing more parking options at the edges of campus to minimize the amount of traffic at the center, and migrating over time to an integrated parking and transit system.
On any given day, you can catch Transportation and Traffic Management bus drivers spending hours driving people around Ohio State’s campus. Earlier this month, a group of drivers took a break from being behind the wheel to focus on their health.
Twenty-two people from TTM and some Administration and Planning staff took part in biometric health screenings in the Printing Facility.

The Ohio State University is asking qualified planners to step forward to help create a new phase of parking and transportation infrastructure for the future.
According to a request for qualifications filed with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission, Ohio State wants to build upon the high-level parking and transit plans drafted up in the original Framework 2.0 master plan in early 2017.
WOSU recently sat down with Beth Snoke, Ohio State's director of Transportation and Traffic Management, to discuss an RFP for shared mobility devices. The news outlet reported that Ohio State is seeking bids from companies that rent shared mobility devices like bikes and scooters. The RFP, or request for proposals, lays out what Ohio State expects of the vendors hoping to do business on campus.
The Columbus Dispatch recently wrote about new sustainable transportation investments throughout Ohio as a result of a national settlement against Volkswagen.
The news outlet said, Ohio’s share of the settlement is $75.3 million. Ohio State will retire six 2002 diesel buses and replace them with CNG buses that will arrive in July. Settlement funds will pay for half of the roughly $3 million cost.
“We’re committed to compressed natural gas,” said Beth Snoke, Ohio State's director of Transportation and Traffic Management. “It’s a resource that we have readily available.”
Students will be moving out of residence halls the week of April 29. The spring 2019 move out campus-wide event date is Tues. April 30, from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Parking lots, garages, loading zones and roadways will be busier than normal during this time. If you plan to be on campus, it is recommended that you do not move your vehicle during the day if you do not have to. Traffic delays are anticipated. Please note that normal parking restrictions still apply during move-out.
