Close Campus Drive: Make UMD a Car-Free Campus

The Committee for a Car-Free Campus is an organization who's main objective is to better the University of Maryland, College Park campus for all students, faculty, and visitors. Our chief initiative is to close down Campus Drive (the main road that stretches through campus from the big "M" to Cole Field House). This will reduce a range of problems including traffic, safety issues, accidents, and pollution.
Campus Drive is a very high traffic area with many vehicles, buses, bicyclists, and pedestrians trying to get to work or class on a daily basis. This not only slows the everyday commute, but also increases the chance of accidents occurring. In addition, emissions are increased around campus.
We propose that peripheral parking lots be placed around campus. Those people commuting to campus will then have a place to park and can either walk, bike, or ride their scooter, etc. to their desired destination.
