A steering committee of 50 campus and community representatives gathered for the first meeting of the Safe Streets for Buckeyes planning study, a yearlong effort aimed at improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable roadway users on and around campus. The project is a joint effort being led by Planning, Architecture and Real Estate (PARE) and Facilities Operations and Development (FOD).
From summer events to on and off-campus patrols, The Ohio State University Police Division (OSUPD) works year-round to keep the Buckeye community safe. In this month's City of Ohio State podcast, Lieutenant Bruce Allen highlights career opportunities, new safety initiatives and practical tips to help students stay informed, prevent crime and navigate campus with confidence.
The Ohio State University’s Columbus campus has been awarded $300,000 from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets for All (SS4A) program for its project, “Protecting Vulnerable Roadway Users: A Multimodal Safety Plan.”
In October, The Lantern highlighted how connectivity, one of four Framework 3.0 planning principles, could help shape improved mobility and increased infrastructure for cyclists on Ohio State's Columbus campus.
