Walking

Walking is a cost-effective and healthy way to get around campus.

Benefits of Walking

• It allows you to get exercise while enjoying the scenery and interacting with others along your path.
• It is easier and sometimes faster to walk than to drive or bike, especially during heavy traffic periods.
• Walking saves you the expense of gas, repairs, and other vehicle maintenance.
• It is much better for the environment than driving.

Safety Tips

• Be aware of your surroundings
  • Look where you’re going
  • Establish eye contact with motorists and bicyclists
  • If listening to music, limit the volume
• Carry a cell phone in case of an emergency
• Walk in well—lit areas.
  • The locations are viewable in a layer of the Transportation Services Map
• Be aware of the blue light phones for emergencies around campus
