76 Texas A&M International University A/ APPENDIX Biking and Walking 1. Ensure there are direct, comfortable walkways to the heart of campus from the peripheral and expanding parts of campus. With the construction of student housing and relocation of the athletic center to the east of the campus core, it will be important for TAMIU to create connections for walking and biking, including direct paths through undeveloped areas and through parking lots. Additional paths should include pedestrian lighting similar to the lighting in the campus core. 2. Consider a shared bike and scooter program. As the campus grows and more residential uses are added, shared bikes and electric scooters may have strong appeal to affiliates to circulate on campus. Given the compact scale and flat topography of TAMIU, shared bike and scooter programs can also support the park-once approach and facilitate easy access to parking facilities. Multiple service models are available, including smart lock and free-floating or smart kiosk systems. Numerous vendors, such as BLOOM and BCycle, work with universities and employers to operate campus bike share programs. 3. Add bike parking and other active trip amenities. TAMIU can support new bicycle connections to campus and a campus bike or scooter share parking program by installing bike parking near all campus buildings. Bike parking should include a mix of bicycle racks and secure lockers or indoor bike parking. Ensure that bike parking is located at building entrances and key nodes of activity. Explore provision of lockers and showers for affiliates with new campus development.
