Improving Transportation Accessibility for the City of Rosemount

Abstract

This project was completed as part of a year-long partnership between the City of Rosemount and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). The City of Rosemount is interested in improving transit services and expanding residents’ job commute options. The goal of this project was to conduct a travel shed analysis of where Rosemount residents and employees work and live that can inform future transit and transportation planning and to provide recommendations for increasing transit use. In collaboration with city project lead Eric Zweber, a planner for the City of Rosemount, two teams of students in PA 8202: Networks and Places conducted an analysis of transportation in Rosemount and provided recommendations for increasing transit use including route expansion and non-motorized transportation options. A final poster from each of the teams is available.
