Alternative transportation As part of the master planning process, VCU completed a comprehensive parking and transportation study that identified tactics to mitigate future parking demand. To meet parking demand now and into the future, VCU and VCU Health System are working together to encourage students, patients and employees to consider alternatives to driving alone. In addition to the regular cost and environmental benefits of using alternative forms of transportation, VCU and VCU Health System will offer incentives to employees for turning in their VCU parking permit. A dedicated website will consolidate resources offered at VCU, VCU Health System, the City of Richmond and GRTC, the regions transit system, so employees can explore what works best for them.
VCU is committed to integrating bus and bike needs with the larger city network. VCU will seek partnerships to reduce redundant bus lines and offer easy and efficient connections for the VCU community. Enhanced streetscapes will also create walkable, accessible and safer environments for individuals. Coordinating with the city in its effort to implement proposed bike routes will continue to better connect campuses.
