Purpose • Equity among people with and without disabilities—in a system in which individuals pay for parking privileges • Shift some demand away from central campus accessible parking to improve availability to those with greatest needs • Address increasing needs as population ages • Place parking in the context of the overall need for mobility and access (including: transit, other accessible transportation, technology, flex-place, etc.) • Follow principles of “Universal Design,” broadening opportunities for collaboration and mobility, including the use of technology to reduce the need to travel. Benefits include: • Greater diversity and inclusiveness • Congestion mitigation on and around campus • Enhanced accessibility • Sustainability and reduced emissions DRAFT
Program • Municipal placard/plates displayed to Transportation provides necessary verification (CU Transportation no longer determines eligibility) • No-fee option remains for permit good in all “O” and “A” permit areas • New “AP” permit available (at perimeter rate of $347) allows parking in any legal space on campus • An “AP” needed solely to address business needs (i.e., workday mobility) may be purchased at department expense • Review committee: • Annual assessment in cases of financial hardship (for no-fee or discounted “AP” permit) • Assessment of need for a reserved accessible space • Assessment of need for a no-fee “AP” permit, based on work location that is inaccessible using the free options available • Committee membership: Helen Steh (convener), Andrea Haenlin-Mott, Patti Riddle, Kappy Fahey DRAFT
