BFJ Planning was retained by Beyer Blinder Belle Architects to develop the transportation plan as part of the long-range Master Plan. The transportation plan’s focus was on managing the parking system to allow for the construction of new academic buildings on existing lots, and on making the overall transportation system more user-friendly and sustainable. BFJ investigated the feasibility of peripheral park-and-ride lots with shuttle services, as well as remote park-and-ride strategies. BFJ also undertook a detailed market analysis of the number of commuters in the various commuter sheds along the interstate freeway. Strategies were developed to increase the use of carpooling among faculty, staff and graduate students. Another major objective of the transportation plan was to improve the bicycle infrastructure and encourage greater use of bicycles. A key goal was to get Dartmouth College designated as a bicycle friendly university by the League of American Bicyclists, which was achieved in 2016. Following the submission of the Master Plan, BFJ continued work with Beyer Blinder Belle on the development of the parking and transportation elements for the West End Campus Plan.
