Many of these individuals who park on the\r\nuniversity grounds are people with disabilities or the elderly, who struggle to travel from one\r\nlocation to another. There is no vehicle access or bus routes to many of these locations.\r\nWith a campus area of 400 hectares (UBC Vancouver Campus, 2016), UBC needs a program\r\nthat can assist these individuals with travel once they have already reached the university. The\r\ngoal was to develop a solution using a small budget (relative to a new parking lot), to target\r\nseniors and the disabled, and to ensure ease of use. Using existing programs as a reference\r\nand estimating costs based on the products and services needed, the idea of a shuttle service\r\nwas developed.\r\nThe service is planned to use mainly golf carts for cost and navigation purposes as well as a\r\nfew hybrid vehicles to ensure service during all weather conditions. The goal is to have\r\nvolunteers to drive the golf carts and cars in order to minimize cost. To ensure ease of use,\r\nusers will be able to call for a pickup or use automated buttons located across campus if they\r\nare not technologically proficient.\r\nThis plan will allow for accessibility around campus, while maintaining budget goals and\r\npromoting sustainable solutions.
