Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) is responsible for providing curb to curb service for UI students, employees, and visitors with disabilities.  DRES owns three 30 foot white buses and a mini-bus that travel campus on a daily basis providing rides for persons with disabilities.  The DRES buses operate on a fixed schedule, with designated stop locations, generally on the half-hour.

Installation and maintenance of bus stops within the CUMTD jurisdictional boundaries are controlled by the MTD.  However, any bus stop on campus also gets the approval of the Architecture Review Committee.  Campus has facility standards that must be met, so F&S works with MTD to implement bus stop improvements.  In recent years, MTD and the UI have cooperated to provide power, internet, security cameras, benches, trash receptacles, new shelters, and StopWATCH kiosks to bus stops. 

Bicycle registration is primarily a method to assist with returning stolen or lost bikes when they are recovered. In Summer 2020, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Facilities & Services (F&S) department purchased a National Bicycle Registration system through Project 529 for campus and community.

Bicycles riding on streets are required to follow the Illinois Vehicle Code. Off-streets, they must follow the University Bike Code. The University of Illinois Police Department (UIPD) are empowered to issue warnings and citations to cyclists who are not following these respective laws.  

The University aims to foster a safe environment for bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists on campus. To ensure that bicyclists are abiding by the appropriate rules, the University will enforce the Illinois Vehicle Code and the University Bike Code, and also encourage cyclists to register their bikes. 

The goal of the new Master Plan is to provide safe and accessible parking for the whole campus community – and since you’re part of that community, the changes will directly and indirectly benefit you!  The comprehensive planning process will include these steps:

• Needs assessment, including use of existing parking spaces and campus-wide demand for parking

• Parking alternatives analysis for the replacement of central campus garages C7 and C10

Traffic calming consists of engineering and other measures put in place on roads for the intention of slowing down or reducing motor-vehicle traffic. This is done in order to improve the living conditions for residents living along the road as well as to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

The University is implementing traffic calming techniques on campus to encourage the use of alternative transportation modes, and to make the campus more safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and persons with disabilities.
