Transportation and Pedestrian Linkages

The information on this microsite (http://www.usc.edu/community/upcmasterplan) reflects archival data last updated in 2008. For the most accurate current information on the University Village Specific Plan, please visit village.usc.edu.

The University Park campus is accessible via a range of existing public and privately operated mass-transit networks that provide excellent connections to neighboring areas as well as remote communities throughout Los Angeles and the greater Southern California region. The new Mid-City/Exposition Light Rail Transit line, the first phase of which is scheduled for completion in February 2010, will augment this already robust system. In addition, the campus is conveniently located with respect to major freeways serving travelers heading east/west as well as north/south.

Over the next 25 to 30 years, pedestrian walkways will continue to be added to the academic core of the campus as well as the outlying planning districts, with the goal of improving linkages and circulation between transit drop-off points and parking facilities and destinations throughout the campus and neighboring communities. Additionally, plans call for the creation of gathering places along safe and attractive pedestrian routes as an important means of enhancing both the function and ambiance of the campus and the neighborhood.
