Understanding Transportation Behaviour at Trent University

The proposed research project will seek to highlight the factors that influence transportation

behaviour, as well as the specific barriers that exist for particular modalities on Trent

University’s Symons campus. This, then, will provide a more intimate understanding of how

future efforts to bring about more sustainable transportation systems might serve to address

the specific needs of the Trent community. Secondly, it will help to elucidate specific

strategies and frameworks for addressing pressing transportation issues on the Symons

campus, and in the Peterborough community more broadly. Lastly, the knowledge gained

through this research study will contribute the overall effectiveness of transportation planning

and programming, which can then contribute to a net reduction of vehicular traffic as well as a

reduction in the social and environmental impacts associated with our current transportation

systems. This City of Peterborough, the internship partner organization, will use the research

generated within the context of this project to inform its infrastructure planning, service

provision, and Transportation Demand Management….
