The University of Iowa established a fringe parking lot and experimental free campus shuttle bus service to allieviate parking problems at the center of the campus, reduce on-campus automobile trips, and improve mobility of students and faculty for intra-campus trips. The experimental service ran for one semester (January-May, 1972). It consisted of seven leased buses running on eight minute headways both ways around a route which circled the campus. The bus system was run by paid student drivers and student supervisors. The fringe parking experiment included two lots on the periphery of the campus with a total of 740 spaces. These lots provided free parking, while a fee was collected for parking on the central campus. The report details development, implementation, and operation of the campus bus system. Results of a users survey are also included. (Author)
