Live Stream: Transportation Master Plan Forums Continue Friday
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 9, 2015) — The third and final round of public forums for the UK Transportation Master Plan will continue today at 10 a.m., in the Gatton College of Business and Economics, Room 399.
Community members can tweet questions to @UKYMonday.
The UK Transportation Master Plan (TMP) aims to improve access and mobility to, from, and around campus for all members of the UK community.
Sasaki and Associates, the consulting firm developing the TMP, will present the final draft of the Transportation Master Plan at the forum. The plan is highly informed by feedback the university received from the first two rounds of public forums, which took place in January and March, as well as through the "send us your feedback" feature on the EVPFA website, and from the TMP online survey that yielded nearly 4,800 responses. Feedback from these conversations has already led to new programming on the UK campus.
The new BluPass partnership with Lextran, which began in July, was a direct result of feedback received at previous Transportation Master Plan forums.
Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration Eric Monday said he hopes to continue receiving feedback from the UK community.
“We have received an exceptional amount of feedback regarding the challenges and opportunities that we face in regard to parking and transportation on our campus, and we have listened,” Monday said. “We look forward to having another meaningful conversation with the community in this next round of forums."

The TMP aligns with the UK Campus Master Plan — the blueprint for UK's campus transformation that‘s allowing it to become a national model for a thriving, public residential research campus.
