Personal Transportation
1 of 4: (1 of 4) John C. Olmsted presented his plan for the University of Idaho campus to U of I President McLean in 1908. The Olmsteds were known for pedestrian-centric, natural oases in American urban environments and John’s design for our campus was no exception. Anticipating future growth both of our university and our community, Mr. Olmsted ensured future Vandals would be inspired by natural beauty every time they walked to class.
2 of 4: (2 of 4) True to the Olmsted Brothers’ vision, the heart of our campus is reserved for walking, bicycling, boarding and other modes of transportation free of internal combustion engines. Remember that Vandals who are walking set the pace, so if you’re on wheels, slow to a walking pace and navigate carefully to your destination.
3 of 4: (3 of 4) Our walkable, bikable campus is relatively small, making it easy to get where you’re going in no time.
