About the University of Tasmania Travel Behaviour Surveys

 UTAS Travel Behaviour Survey (TBS) initiated in 2012  Three datasets: 2013, 2015, 2017  What the UTAS TBS provides:

  • tracks UTAS staff and student travel behaviour associated with

university business (work and study land based)

  • data for all campuses in all regions in which UTAS has operations

(Tasmania and NSW)

  • informs planning and performance indicators that underpin the

University’s sustainable transport strategies

  • databases for further in-depth research (students/academic use)
slide-3
SLIDE 3

Changing transport planning backdrop

 Reduced proportion of student enrolments as ‘on-

campus’ despite a significant increase in enrolments

 Increase in share of ‘on-campus’ international

students (particularly Hobart and Launceston)

 Dispersal of students and staff across Hobart CBD

facilities – to continue into future with UTAS expansion programs in Launceston, Hobart and Burnie city centres

Working internally and with external partners - Improvements implemented since 2015

Tasmanian public transport service improvements:

  • higher frequency/through-service bus routes in Launceston and

Hobart

  • high frequency bus services linking Launceston campuses to CBD

Infrastructure upgrades:

  • >250 bicycle parking, lockers/hubs, end-of-trip facilities
  • bus shelter installations/upgrades – Newnham, Inveresk, West Park, Sandy Bay
  • >25 more motorcycle/scooter parking spaces
  • availability of car pool parking permits and dedicated spaces

Videoconference Improvement Program (VCIP)

Decide Your Ride online videos and maps informing safest bicycle routes

Increase in parking permit costs

Public transport use

 Public transport = most striking

and consistent increase in mode share since 2013 across all regions

 Most significant shift is

 Greencard ownership in Launceston

Cycling

 Inconsistent changes for journey to work/study across campuses

and between students and staff

 Students:

 minimal change overall in cycling mode share  cycling is up from 6% in 2013 to 10% in 2017 in the Hobart CBD but down

a little at SB Campus

 cycling is down by 5 percentage points in northern Tasmanian campuses

 Staff:

 upswing in cycling mode share  cycling in northern Tasmanian and Sandy Bay campus has increased by

3 percentage points since 2013 – reaching 10% in 2017

 Decline in reported e-bike use since 2015

What is happening to single occupant vehicles?

Estimate of change in number of student actual single occupant vehicles for all Hobart and Launceston UTAS locations (extrapolated from on campus enrolments, average semester weekday)  All indicators point to a reduction

in actual student SOVs at Hobart and Launceston university campuses/facilities

 Indicators for staff SOVs point to

an increase in some (not all) areas, particularly the Hobart CBD

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Conclusions, opportunities and challenges

 The University is achieving its sustainable transport aspirations step by step, but it is an

inconsistent challenge across regions, campuses and population groups

 New university developments provide both opportunities and challenges for

community wide benefits

 What the University can do

  • Relocation of university facilities, new-builds, facility upgrades – design-in incentives
  • The student community – targeted awareness and incentive programs
  • The staff community – business practices/workplace policies and processes

 External to the University

  • Packaged parking strategies with travel demand management strategies and public

transport investment

 Collaboration is key
