  2. Why are Parking Permit Increases Necessary? The master plan emphasizes the goal of a pedestrian-friendly, safe, walkable campus. This results in fewer parking spaces in the campus core. Master plan shows need for 2,400 additional spaces in the next 10 years. The most efficient and effective way is a parking garage. Revenues are necessary to: Increase operating costs at 3% per year. Maintain current parking inventory (current cost is $112 a space per year). Build and maintain new lots and an eventual parking deck. Build reserves for future bond covenants.
  3. Parking Services-Overview Administers and manages the parking permit system. Manages student accounts and payroll deduction for faculty/staff. Manages the citation process including billing and appeals. Maintains inventory and maintenance of parking lots/spaces. Responds to customer services requests. Parking services is funded through the permit process. On average, 7,000 permits are issued each year for 6,250 spaces. Fine revenues are required by state law to be transferred to the K-12 system. We only keep 20% for administrative costs.

  5. Brutal Facts Lack of pedestrian safety. Current parking configuration doesn’t meet existing peak demand and will be unable to meet future peak demand. New & Repaving projects are expensive: HHS Overflow lot - $600,000 Coulter/Forsyth repave - $200,000 Creek Lot repave - $253,450 Albright-Benton repave - $246,651

  24. Analysis of Options Cost vs. Convenience is the most widely used and accepted business practice for parking by public and private entities. Cost vs. Convenience is based on consumer choice for the value of the parking service. Master Plan parking consultant strongly recommends the Cost vs. Convenience model. Salary Level option may be perceived as more equitable by employees. Flat Rate option disperses costs equally across permit holders.

  34. Coulter/Forsyth Situated at the very core of campus. Prime location for faculty/staff parking. Prime location for special event venue. Proposal to “close” Coulter/Forsyth to permit parking and initiate a multi-metered approach. Opportunities for visitor parking and access to food, bookstore, student and other services. Master plan goals call for Coulter/Forsyth lot to eventually be replaced with instructional building. Re-locate parking from Coulter/Forsyth to Bardo Art Center, Methodist Church, and Dodson II.
