To Oregon State University Corvallis students: Thank you for your engagement over the past few months in campus discussions to improve how we travel to and across Oregon State’s Corvallis campus. Your input was reviewed by the OSU Transportation Solutions Task Force — a group made up of faculty, staff and students — and was invaluable in shaping recommendations related to on-campus parking, shuttle services and commute option programs adopted by the University in April. To learn more about these changes and benefits that will occur in Fall Term 2014, please visit the OSU Parking Services website at: parking.oregonstate.edu In reviewing this website, we hope you will find a variety of commute options that can aid you, including: An on-campus parking system that allows those who park on campus to choose where they park and how much they want to pay for a parking permit

Increased probability of finding a convenient parking space on campus

Decreased stress and lost time in commuting

A greatly expanded on-campus transit system - to be called the Beaver Bus - that will operate throughout the year with convenient, predictable and well-promoted service

Investments in transportation options such as more bike facilities, carpool programs

Expanded Corvallis Transit services

Incentives for carpooling

Safety enhancements in the Parking Garage and expanded safety programs related to on-campus travel These efforts are not just about how we travel to and on campus. In future months, we will work with faculty, staff and students to link these efforts to OSU’s Healthy Campus Initiative, sustainability efforts, public safety efforts and Collaboration Corvallis community livability recommendations. We appreciate the work of the Transportation Solutions Task Force and the significant community input received over the past half year. We look forward to serving and working with you and others at Oregon State to achieve these many endeavors. Steve Clark
