Strategic Transportation Plan

Part of the TREK mandate has been to create a true "made at UBC" Strategic Transportation Plan. The STP is the product of a long-term and in-depth community consultation process. It proposes solutions to many of the pressing problems surrounding transportation at UBC, and it includes strategies for implementing important changes in how we travel to, from and around campus.
