Usp180 final carpool presentation
1. UCSD Has a Carpool?
a proposal to eliminate this question
Claudine Batarse | Bradley Higgins | Kevin Yang | Bert Yee
2. INTRODUCTION
Parking on UCSD campus is
difficult for students
Convenient “S” spots are far
and few in between
Carpooling can alleviate the
stress of parking
3. CURRENT SITUATION
S SPOTS 4694
UNDERGRAD 2092
MEDICAL CENTER 2450
SCRIPPS 152
S PERMITS 4291
efficiency 76%
7. CURRENT SITUATION
“NO. hard to find
someone in my
neighborhood “
“not with the pass since the criteria is a
bit difficult to fulfill. It is pretty difficult to
have 3 people with similar schedules
and it has to be reapplied for every
quarter”
“Carpool is appealing only if there were actually
enough parking spots on campus.”
“Yes, i live in a house with no car drives
except for me. So when i go to school i
usually carpool already. “
“Maybe. Depending on the
price and availability of
parking.”
“Yes because parking is such a pain.”
“Yes it would be, but only if
there are a good chunk of
spots that are close to
campus as I know S spots are
quite limited near campus
and abundant in areas that
are further away like the
regent parking lot. “
“Yes, save on gas and money and time.”
“It's difficult to find people
with the same schedule.
And speaking from
experience, splitting gas, etc.
is also a pain.”
“Yes, because I
would have access
to parking spots
specifically reserved
for carpool pass
holders, rather than
having to fight with
everyone else for a
parking spot. “
“Yes, because buses can only
do so much during rush hour”
“No, it feels a bit awkward riding with strangers.”
9. PROMOTION
“Saw it on the parking lot”
“I saw it in the Muir
parking lot”
NO UNIFORMITY
“always seeing the
spots open in the
parking lots”
“I think I saw a banner.”
“Searching up Parking on
Campus”
“Friends”
“I came across it when
I was reading about
the alternatives and
changes to the UCSD
transportation system”
“Online research”
“from UCSD staff”
“From a friend who
does use carpool
services. “
“i think i heard
about it during
freshmen
“Flier during orientation”
freshman year”
“Friend”
“saw it”
10. PROMOTION
Have a dedicated website
for carpool service
Simple
Efficient
Appealing
Useful

Good evening USP180. I’m Claudine, and here are my esteemed colleagues [name us off]. And we are here to answer the question “Does UCSD have a carpool?” Technically the answer is yes, but we think “not so much”. And so we are here to fix that.
It’s difficult to find a convenient parking spot on campus.
This is especially true for students.
More and more “S” spots are being taken away as the years go by.
A new carpooling system can alleviate this.
These numbers show how few convenient parking spots there are for students.
As you can see there are fewer permit holders than there are spots, but over half of these spots are located in the medical center (Regents).
Students still need to take a bus or walk (average distance of 1.17 miles)
This leads to extra congestion especially during peak hours.
Carpooling by definition lowers the amount of cars moving to one location.
This provides an appealing alternative the university can promote.
There are very few carpooling spots as it is on campus.
The usage during peak hours is ridiculously low at 32%.
From this statistic alone it is apparent that the carpooling system needs to be revamped.
Currently the carpooling pass is not a pass, rather it is an add on to a current pass.
While it is a free add on it is very difficult to qualify for.
You need to have at least 3 people whose schedules start and end times match up perfectly. There can be no discrepancies between any of the 3 schedules.
These are some of the results from the survey our group conducted.
It is fairly evident that very few people knew of the carpooling program’s existence.
What is also interesting is that while very few people use UCSD’s carpooling service, a greater number still opt to carpool to campus.
This is but one red flag that the current situation is bleak.
If the system was revamped however it was noted that a greater percentage of students would use the carpooling system.
Is carpooling appealing to you?
These are some of the responses we received from students about whether carpooling is an appealing means of transportation. The answers varied greatly as you can see.
Some positive comments on carpooling were having “access to parking spots specifically reserved for carpool pass holders” and you could “save on gas and money and time”
While others expressed some concerns such as “it feels a bit awkward riding with strangers” and “not with the pass since the criteria is a bit difficult to fulfill” then of course there’s that one person who “hates sharing a car with people I may or may not be familiar with. Plus a lot of the students are asian, and I don’t trust dem asians to be driving”
In order to change this a new system should be implemented, but before implementation, comes promotion.
Naturally, one way to IMPROVE carpooling is to PROMOTE it. Currently, there is ABOUT 64% who DOES NOT know carpooling exist on campus.
And out of the ESTIMATED 36% who knew it, we asked them how they came to learn about the program. As you can see, NO UNIFORMITY in ANSWERS.
[ read some comments ] But the fact remains, there was NO CONSISTANT means of UCSD promotions. So we first need to PROMOTE the program.
[] This can be done through various forms. We can offer benefits and incentives, emails, and advertisement on campus.
Another form of promotion is the use of a dedicated website. While there are sites like Zimrides offer services which links people to carpool opportunities, UCSD should have a dedicated websites for its students [] make it modern, simple, efficient, appealing, and most importantly, useful [] show example
Another way to IMPROVE carpool is to simply CREATE more spots. NO NEW PARKING would be created Instead we will COVERT existing S and B spots into Carpool spots. Naturally, we do not want to anger more people so we try to MINIMIZE the changes to these spots. As you can see, we have taken away less than 10 spots in each parking lot. However, that will increase the number of carpool spots on campus from 64 to 86.
The other big change is Hopkins Parking Structure. We FIRST decided to RE-ORGANIZED the entire parking (spots were all over the place). Spots are now grouped together so its EASIER to find. Unlike other lots which are INSTANT, 5-YEAR PLAN to implement changes. 4th floor has [62] S SPOTS and [12] CARPOOL. Change about 12 a year. 74 TOTAL. WE CAN MONITOR POPULARITY.
So at the end of 5 years…
And just to make it easier for students, these spots are spread throughout the campus.
Another major proposal is to IMPROVE the PARKING PASS.
First it’s a REAL PASS, not STICKER.
Along with this, Will have COMPLIMENTARY PASSES for the members of the same carpooling party
In addition, Lower restriction for rules so students can have start and end times within a 2 and a half hour window.
Second same PERKS similar to the Night/Weekend passes
Third CHEAPER than S SPOT
However, like all changes, there are some pros and cons.
Frustration of finding a parking during peak hour
two-thirds of students say a school’s commitment to going green is an important factor in their enrollment decisions -NBC
Reduction- Also, the carpool permit is selling at a discounted price

1. Total amount of cars that are commuting to UCSD is reduced
4. Elastic with gas: as price of gas goes up… Also cutting back on foreign petroleum dependency,
Before I jump into how the environment relates to UCSD’s transportation, I want to give you a brief background on how the environment relates to transportation as a whole.
There are many different kinds of environmental impacts that can be caused by transportation.
These impacts can be clearly illustrated when looking at a LCA. A life cycle analysis is a method that examines the environmental impacts associated with a product during it’s entire life-cycle. lt consists of 6 stages; pre-production, production, packaging, dispersal, use, and disposal.
In the LCA of a car, Impacts can include air pollution, energy consumption, water pollution, land taking, habitat disturbance, noise & vibration pollution, and resource use. The list goes on and on
For our project we focused on the the USE impacts only:
Explain Pictures
Most common impact is AIR pollution
Air pollution is a very big issue because it doesn’t only effect the polluted area, but instead is able to diffuse among boundaries globally.
Cars emit lots of toxins, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Greenhouse Gasses are able to trap heat in the atmosphere and are very important and necessary for the formation of life.
The 4 main GHG’s are Water Vapor (H2O), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N2O).
However, when large amounts of GHG’s are emitted into the atmosphere it can be detrimental and cause adverse effects such as global warming.
Global warming leads to
sea level rise, increased temp. etc
Transportation is the second largest contributor of green house gases (GHG) in the United States, accounting for 28%.
Now that we have seen what a large impact vehicles have nationally, we can look at the current situation here locally.
When looking at UCSD it can be seen that almost 50% of students commute to school in single-occupant vehicles, which make up about 17% of the total GHG’s emissions.
UCSD is aware of the detrimental effects that cars have on the environment and they are currently working toward moving to more sustainable practices.
UCSD has a Climate Action Plan, that was created in 2008 and address many practices that contribute to climate change and global warming.
Then main two goals that fall under transportation include:
1. At a minimum, reduce the GHG emissions from commuting by 2% per year, based on the previous year’s emissions, from 2009 to 2050.
2. At a minimum, reduce the percentage of commuters using single occupancy vehicles from 49% to 39% by 2018. (This goal includes commuters at the Main Campus and the Hillcrest campus.)
