Our survey topic is would banning freshmen from bringing cars to campus have a positive effect on reducing traffic congestion on campus without reducing enrollment and income from student housing?
Or could the University's carbon footprint be reduced by freshmen having to pay-as-you-exit, have remote park-and-ride requirements, limited access policies (freshman can bring cars but not access during weekdays), zip cards, bicycling incentives, carpool incentives)?
Questions to explore include:
1) How many freshmen actually bring a car to campus?
2) Among the colleges that have this ban, how many freshmen bring a car despite the ban?
3) How much to freshmen actually drive since some have cars and others do not?
4) How would a ban affect enrollment?
5) How would a ban affect income from University Housing?
6) How much more would parents and frends drive if freshmen were banned from driving?
In class we discussed what the survey sample should look like: High school seniors, current freshmen, current sophomores
Issues that were raised included: Would the ban be applied to non-traditional students or commuters?
