As you enter your car, you notice that it's 10:50. You know it’s going to take five minutes to school, another five minutes to find parking and hope that you will be on time for your 11:10 class. As you make the turn to enter lot 30, you see cars in every single parking space. You enter every aisle trying to find parking. You wait for fellow students to leave the lot so you can find a space for yourself. You keep circling the lot, and the next thing you know, it is 11:15. You think of other options: park on the street and walk to campus, or turn your car around and go back home. At this point, is it even worth going to class?
Every student has different means of transportation in their commute to school Students have the option of walking,

“To build one parking structure on campus, it will cost 38 million dollars” (Stewart). This will take at least 36 months to finish including designing, approval and labor. Those who attend UCR believe that student tuition would increase for the parking structure to be built. However, this is untrue. Student’s tuition would not increase at all. The Transportation and Parking Service is separate from the University of California system. Many believe that they are connected but the parking service is a self-supporting auxiliary enterprise. The parking services are running on their own funds and not on tuition. There is a California mandated law stating parking services are not allowed to use taxes or student fees for parking. The parking service has two sources of income, which are ratepayers, which include students who pay for permits, daily parking purchases. The other source of income comes from citation. The parking service only gets a certain percentage of the citations given out. The funding for the parking structure would come from ratepayers and citations. There might not be enough funding from just the direct income from parking services. So the parking services will have to lean on the University of California System for bonds and grants for
The choice to lower the amount of spaces available is to leave room for a nice park. At the front of the parking lot will be a kiosk and two gates where tourists will grab a ticket and also pay as they leave. This will ensure that the fee of five dollars per hour is being paid by keeping those in who haven’t paid it. The money from that fee would go to maintain the parking lot and bettering the park. To not build a parking garage at this time may anger some businesses, but the city will agree to look into the issue again in five years and decide then what should be done, if
Over the past few years, the parking control office has been expanded and made more efficient by the addition of computers and the implementation of new filing procedures. Unfortunately, the department is still not providing the services it is capable of. This is due to the fact that the parking control office is under staffed in respect to counter attendants. This lack of sufficient people to work the front counter causes the process of appealing and paying parking tickets to become extremely bogged down. This proposal provides a cost effective solution to the problem that will not only help parking control, but will also benefit anyone doing business with the office.
Day after day, late students are punished or end up in detention due to short passing periods. Having short passing periods can make a student’s grade go down or worse when students are late to class. This can be prevented by extending passing periods to 10 minutes. Although the staff at H.P.M.S may disapprove, but in the long run, they will see the effects of having longer passing periods has on students. Because of the short time of passing periods, students at Happy Place Middle School are petitioning to extend their passing period time to 10 minutes. In short, some of the positive effects are that students can get to class on time, and gives students and teachers time to prepare.
Parking on Campus is a Pain New students entering Concordia College are not permitted to have a car on campus. With each new freshman class entering every year, parking represents an issue. Concordia is as of now constrained in its parking on campus and since first year students are not permitted to have cars, the students are confronted with the problem of having no place to park or parking very a long way from their goal. There are parking issues everywhere throughout the campus, making backups in residence hall and other lots, bringing about students parking illegally to avoid from walking far distances, which can be very aggravating in the bitter cold. Parking nearer appears like the reasonable thing to do, however it is a hazard, which
When the bell rings for students to go home the quiet and serene field of asphalt in front of school becomes a sinkhole and everyone is fighting to get out. Most school parking lots are accessible, safe, and orderly; the Hinckley-Big Rock High School parking lot is an accident waiting to happen. With so many problems, a slight redesign of the schools main parking lot would seem practical.
Being a student at Texas Woman’s University I am aware of some of the problems that occur on campus. Unfortunately, the parking situation here on campus sticks out like a sore thumb. Whether you can’t find an open parking space anywhere on campus or whether you just can’t justify paying $70.00 for a parking permit when it doesn’t guarantee you a parking spot. Not only are students fighting traffic to find a parking spot, but they are also having to park long distances from their class, which can become a major problem in the middle of winter in Texas. All of these problems faced by students that attend this university all boil down to how more parking needs to be added to this university. Throughout this essay I will inform you about a possible
Finding a parking space might not be a major concern for some USC Aiken students who live on campus, those who are commuters find over-crowded parking lots an issue.

Most parking available in downtown cost money and time. Even the parking spaces available are very limited and not everyone could afford it. The parking decks in downtown belong to some companies. Most of those companies even make their own employee pay for it. As for the city, they have some free parking spaces which are limited to the public. Many of those parking spaces in Downtown Atlanta are usually not free. Atlanta is not the only state in America who does not provide free parking for their customers, workers, or tourists alike. For instance New York downtown charges for their parking. They are many parking meters on the sides of the roads where you can park your car for a limited period of time. Atlanta Downto...
First, parking on campus needs improving. . Baton Rouge community college needs to expand their parking lot because it be complicated trying to find a parking spot on campus. With every new freshmen students that’s just coming out of high school is taking up most of the parking spaces. I believe parking passes should be free for students because students have to park sometimes in Mc Donald parking lot because they don’t have no other choice. Also there needs to be additional parking on campus and also for those that are visiting the campus. The parking lots have also plenty of pot holes that can damage student car and can cause a flat tire. If a student hit another student car it’s hard to find out who did it because there isn’t enough policemen out in the parking lots looking. Brittany
You know that parking your car in a safe, reliable place when you fly is important, but did you know that parking a few minutes away from the airport could actually save you money? If you’ve ever left your vehicle in an airport parking lot for an extended stay, you may have been shocked at how much the final bill was. In some cases, the cost of long-term parking at the airport can add up to more than the cost of your plane fare. Many travelers have found that off-site parking near the airport is a far more cost-effective strategy, especially when they plan to be gone for longer than a day or two.
Parking has been a problem on Western’s campus for a while. Only time will tell if it will get any better or not. The biggest contributing factor seems to be that freshmen are allowed to have cars, creating the dilemma of backed lots, parking somewhere else, or risking parking illegally in other spaces. Freshmen will continue to be allowed to have cars for now because WMU wants their students to have a certain level of freedom and make their own decisions. Realizing many lots will be backed can be a pain but it’s the price to pay for allowing every student to have a car on campus.

It is hard to find parking on campus, especially during rush hours. Both students and professors are encountering trouble for this crisis. As a simple example, the parking lot next to the Sarkeys building is always full. This problem is a continuous, daily hazard. As a student required to maintain a lot of class schedules and activities, I suffer from the parking problem daily and find that others encounter the same. It is true that the university is working on a new parking garage, but during the construction process, there is no alternative way to settle the crisis. The official home page of OU parking and transportation services is a source to consider for exploring the problem.
