Supporting Students

Transportation as an Equitable Recruitment and Retention Strategy

Presented by Lilian Nugent, Jamie Gaskill, Grace Wright, Matthew Wixson, Nick Heimann, Rachel Ruhlen

Simply … transportation and commuting should not be a reason we fail to recruit and retain the best employees or students at Colorado State University.  We all commute (or telecommute) to CSU daily, yet transportation is often disregarded as an inflexible, sunk cost. Transportation is the ultimate measurement of how welcome a student, employee, or visitor perceives CSU. A brief presentation will share current efforts to engage students and employees when they are recruited and matriculate to CSU.

A panel discussion will be held to explore the following learning objectives:

  1. How CSU supports employee and student commuters today
  2. Understanding transportation barriers to equitable access and mobility
  3. The importance of evaluating personal housing and transportation expenses together
  4. Inclusive physical design features to support commuters at CSU
  5. Actions to improve transportation safety and circulation
