Cons

Land Use

Secure budget for MMLOS evaluation (Once every 2 - 5 years) Adopt PEQI and BEQI methodology but adjust evaluation elements to campus environment Prioritize low-scored streets and intersections for improvements in the Active Transportation Plan Set a minimum MMLOS criteria for each street type

Some elements not applicable to campus environment BEQI intersection methodology relies on few elements Crossings not always on intersections Inherently low traffic volume compared to city streets UCLA streets vs. LA City streets: find barriers around the campus Shared multi-modal paths not included in the study

• Both PEQI and BEQI scores are concentrated in the median groups • Overall, uniformality in street and intersection design was observed • However, total PEQI Scores varies ranging from 33 to 81 • Intersections in North campuses have lower scores in general • Further investigation on which factors have affected scores is necessary
