Final remarks
• Staff and students: different travel patterns
– specific policies for different groups
– small bicycle commuting overall
• Staff: increase multimodal accessibility of campuses
– Reveal possibility of choice
• Students: decrease travel distance
– Struggling with travel time, consequence of poor multimodal accessibility
• Carrots and sticks package of tools required
– Transform campuses into TODs, increasing their multimodal
accessibility and integration in the city
– Provision of student accommodation near campuses
