Future Directions & Remaining Questions
Future Directions & Remaining Questions
We would like future groups to extend the observational study for more time points in the day and observe of more bike racks (including the ones with high capacity but have newer material).
Future groups can work more closely with UCSD Transportation Services to implement changes.
In general, future group can look at other bike infrastructure like cracks or flaws in bike lanes and observe how this also impacts students' safety while riding scooters, bikes, skateboards, etc.
Previous projects have found that many UCSD students are unhappy with the current state of public transit at UCSD. Future projects can look at different aspects of public transit to tackle this problem such as shuttle infrastructure and consider expanding more shuttles to off-campus housing.
