Payette Proposal

Due to the number of people here at TSU, we are ill equipped to handle to large number of cars that students are bringing. The system in place currently consists of the following; the main parking lots that surround the residential halls, once those fill up the other students go to a dedicated parking lot about a five-minute walk from the halls. However, this year the student load is too great, so a new overflow lot has been designated on the other side of the campus. In my personal experience, I have had to go to that lot before, and even that one is almost over capacity. One night while riding with a friend, we were just leaving and there was two or three other cars just sitting there waiting for us to get out of the mediocre spot instead of looking around for another spot, as we left the parking lot, it became clear why they did that, there were no other spots available. When we got back it took about an hour to find a parking spot as we had to check all the other lots for a spot, and ended up parking on the opposite side of campus to our dorms. Other students I asked stated that during the week, there’s very little chance of getting a parking spot. Only Friday morning through Sunday afternoon are there any reasonable amount of parking spots in any of the parking

There is little space in the parking, so I'll find a new parking or start coming to campus by bus so that I am not late

Sometimes you will have a class outside and can’t get to and from that class in time. If you have a locker that is

In order to use the designated parking volunteer space, you will need to register your car with a Vehicle Registration Form and turn it into the Volunteer Coordinator Office, and you will receive a parking pass at no charge. If you do not turn it in, you can still park on the hospital grounds but not in the volunteer parking space.

The problem with using the ATA bus system to solve the campus parking problem is the location of the bus stops, the time waiting for the bus, and the cost of the bus if the stop is off campus. The free stops on campus are only located within campus. Off-campus students will still have to find a way to get to campus to get on the bus. If a student wants to get on an ATA bus outside of campus they will be charged a fee. Another problem is students do not want to wait on the buses to get to their stop or if the miss a stop they have no way to get to

As always, we have the crowded hallways, lines, and classrooms. More students mean more cars in the parking lot, which leaves most students late in the morning, and often upset when looking for parking. No one wants to spend all of their time searching for a parking spot!

The situation above is something many college students, especially those here at the University of California Riverside (UCR), are well aware of. Although there are tons of parking lots here at UCR, students still struggle to find a place to park. One of the main reasons is because of the increase in students attending across campuses all over the US. According to the National Center for Educational Statistic, “Between 2001 and 2011, enrollment increased 32 percent, from 15.9 million to 21.0 million.” As a result, the amount of parking spaces here at UCR could not compensate for the growing number of students. A lack of parking spaces can cause many detriments toward the students as it can hinder with their class schedules, cause them to either be late or miss a class, and overall affect their grades. If UCR implement a shuttle bus system for the empty parking lots that are far away from the school, students would be less stress about the parking

Since the vast majority of students that attend college drives a car, Miami Dade College had to find a place where students could park their car without taking the risk of being towed or ticketed. So the college administration allied at a first instance with Miami-Dade County to let the students park at the 117th avenue which is right behind the college buildings. The real problem came when the Miami-Dade County didn’t let them park there anymore. Consequently, MDC had to find another place to let them park, so they moved the parking site to the International Mall, which is about 3 miles from the campus buildings. Finally they got an agreement with IKEA to use the upper parking of the

Students are forced to park in other places on campus and some choose to disregard the signs posted for reserved parking. This is a bit risky because vehicles parking in violation of university regulations may be towed and impounded. For example, a freshman living in the valleys would get an F parking permit. The only places they can legally park with this are up the hill by the dorms, by the rec. center, and on high levels of a parking structure by the Bernhard Center, which is a popular place for students to eat out at, or buy things at the school store. Each parking lot is restricted to parking for a specific type of permit. Only vehicles displaying the same type of permit may park in that lot. During fall and winter semesters, residence hall lots with the designations A, C, F, K, and Z are restricted 24 hours a day for vehicles displaying the same type of permit. Many students choose to ignore these letters and just park there anyway, taking the risk of being ticketed or possibly toed. Campus police walks around especially at night and tickets every car parked illegally or calls in for a toe truck to help out. Seven different parking lots that may seem convenient when students are looking for a spot are restricted to employee parking 24 hours per day, leaving many students frustrated,

I hope to provide possible ways to improve the services provided to aid the parking issues that are found on the Florida International University. The issue of parking at Florida International University is the lack of being able to find parking at most given times. There are a lot of times where I have arrived at Florida International University and have spent over 20 minutes driving in circles trying to find a parking spot. And I am not the only one. Martina Bretous writes in one of her article posts. “It always starts out the same way: a race to the elevator entrance at the sight of anyone entering the garage followed by a head popping out of a lowered car window yelling ‘Are you leaving? (Bretous)’” I would use this excerpt to

Furthermore, many students do not want to buy a parking permit because the Texas State Bobcat shuttle is already part of the student’s tuition, so why not use it as a form of

One of the common ways to solve the problem is to build a parking lot, but they aren’t able to take into consideration the cost of the whole building and the matter on if the students will even guarantee a parking spot (John Peloza, Moritz Loock, James Cerruti, and Michael Muyot.). Since the parking lot is always full and students and staff are usually scrambling to find spots, it would be easier to create a system in which the user can be able to reserve spots in the parking lot. To be able to help students who are waste time looking for their car, it will have a car tracker. It mainly keeps track of where the car is parked with by the parking number and GPS to where the car is currently located in. Most students drive themselves to school; this makes students take up more space in the parking lot. To properly use the parking spaces there will be options to make carpooling more easily accessible. For instance, students who carpool could have closer parking. Another option is to give students the option to carpool with a person who is on the route to school.

West Chester University’s ongoing attempts to meet the needs of the student body’s various demographics are commendable, but some areas and services should be granted priority due to their more numerous natures’ and relatively minimal cost. Some of the ones being readily addressed are the constraints of and accessibility to various academic buildings on West Chester’s campus. These include but are not limited to:

Through the online research, I discovered how other churches have dealt with situations similar to ours. Learning what has worked for other churches has helped me to know whether or not their solution will be acceptable for our church. I found out where other churches visitor parking areas

To explain the parking information for the University of Dayton a little bit better, all vehicles parking on campus property must display a valid permit. If the driver intends on being parked for more than two weeks a permit must be purchased. If a person leaves the university community the permit is automatically revoked and these permits cannot be sold or transferred from one person to another. Anybody who violates this will be charged double the annual permit fee (Handbook). If a driver wants to purchase a permit all citations must be paid off first. Parking supposedly makes every effort to assign each full-time faculty and staff person to a parking area proximate to the building
