10.B.8) Locate new public higher education facilities in smart growth locations and improve transit access to public higher education

As with any infrastructure built with public money, the Commonwealth’s public higher education institutions must be located in areas that both take the most advantage of existing infrastructure and allow the greatest amount of access from a variety of transportation modes.  Locating these institutions in smart growth locations, largely Regional Urban Centers and downtowns, will help meeting MetroFuture’s land use objectives by concentrating development near existing infrastructure.  Furthermore, locating these facilities in transit accessible locations will help enhance equity by ensuring that those without cars and private modes of transportation will still have access to higher education opportunities.

8.a    The Division of Capital Asset Management, the Department of Higher Education, and MAPC should form a working partnership to ensure that Sustainable Development Principles inform the location of new satellite facilities
