The Sustainable Transportation Strategy is guided by five key OSU values. The following institutional values informed the selection of strategies and policies to reduce drive-alone trips to the Corvallis campus.
Climate Action: Be bold in addressing the climate crisis.
Good Neighborhood Relations: Help to reduce traffic and parking impacts in adjacent neighborhoods.
Equity and Affordability: Ensure affordable access to education and employment for individuals at all income levels.
Land Preservation: Preserve land for education, research and open space.
Financial Stewardship: Use financial resources wisely to maximize return on investment and support our values.
The Sustainable Transportation Strategy is built on a foundational framework called the Four Cs, which recognizes that individual transportation choices are influenced by these four categories:
Cost: This includes both the total travel costs for different transportation modes as well as how individuals experience those costs.
Culture: How are transportation alternatives supported by OSU's culture, through examples and messages from supervisors, colleagues and peers.
Convenience: The degree to which alternatives to driving are comparably easy and efficient.
Concrete: The built environment that supports mobility options, including everything from on-campus facilities such as bike parking to public amenities such as transit stops.
