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
There likewise should be extra stopping meters included for students living off grounds, who regularly experience difficulty finding a spot. The school is overpopulated, bringing about heaps of moved down parking areas. Staff as of now has saved parking; however the constrained measure of parking on grounds is driving understudies and guests to stop in saved workforce parcels. Parking is deficient and can be an enormous bother contingent upon the day.
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.
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 legally by the residence halls is almost impossible. Students who live at particular dorms find themselves faced with the problem of having to park on the other side of campus. Students who live in the valleys comment that they are surprised with the numerous tickets that are written every day and how it isn’t always clearly spelled out where they can park. They complain on how some parking spaces involve lengthy walks in the freezing cold weather, and how easily the lots fill up. Whenever I'm riding with someone and they have to park by my hall or any other, they usually park in the 30 min parking and leave their car there for hours, or in the faculty lots to avoid walking from the lot up the hill. These actio...
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...
"It's almost impossible to find a decent parking spot in the middle of the day that's close to the building that my class is in," she said. Majority of Gabrielle's classes have taken place in the Science Building; therefore, she must park in the D-Lot which happens to be packed Monday- Friday. She has been late quite a few times for her midday classes because of the lack of parking spaces. Another concern for a student at USCA is the lack of communication from each department.
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 on campus needs improving. Students entering the university are allowed to have a car on campus. With every new freshmen class entering parking posses a problem on campus. The campus is already limited in its parking on campus and since freshmen are allowed to have cars, the students before them are faced with the dilemma of how many new freshmen will be bringing a car to school.
As of right now students are told to, “Arrive early for your classes” (Adelphi University, 2017, para. 3). Students are told to arrive early, because they never know what the parking will be like. If Adelphi wants to keep its enrollment up, it is vital that there is enough parking or students will start to get fed up with the limited parking on campus. Adelphi even suggests to “Consider car-pooling,” or “Consider taking public transportation” (Adelphi University, 2017, para 3). The price students pay in tuition for Adelphi, should at least allow for most students to be able to park on campus.
Since her time here at Marymount, Alexx Holmes a sophomore resident on campus has run into numerous parking incidents. " I started working at Hooters in Fairfax my freshmen year so I was given permission for a parking pass so I could get to and from work. Many nights I wouldn't get back from work until after midnight. I lived in Rowley, and after an incident of a customer trying to follow me home; I hated walking from the White Garage to Rowley that late at night. So I began parking in the faculty parking lot outside of Butler so I could go in through that entrance.
I would like to inform you about the awful parking situation that is going on at the Avon Williams Campus downtown. Parking is nearly impossible to find after 11:00 a.m. This is a serious issue because it is causing many students to be late to class and causing others to receive tickets because they park on the side of the street when they have no other choice. Students are many times faced with the decision of waiting until a parking spot becomes available and being late to class or parking on the side and getting fined.
I ran to my class, but unfortunately I missed my quiz. Similarly, many students miss a few minutes of their classes because they have to go to several parking lots to find a spot. With tight class schedules, the university 's suggestion of parking in Lloyd Noble and then using the bus service is not convenient. Lloyd Noble is 2.0 miles away from the Bizzell Memorial Library (the center of the university). Using the buses at Lloyd Noble is not a good idea because students have to check the schedule of the buses, and they might waste more than 20 minutes of their time waiting for the bus. Moreover, Lloyd Noble buses do not stop; at every bus stop, so students are limited to one stop area. I remember one day my advisor came from Houston to visit me, and he was about one hour late because he said he was struggling with parking. In addition, I have seen shuttles stop at the parking near the Duck Pond (the parking located east of the football stadium) and use it as a drop and pickup area, which makes extra hazards for other car drivers to drive on and cross the roads. All these problems cause delays in students ' schedules. If this situation continues, students will miss more classes, and that might result in a bad performance in the classroom for many. Again, the Lloyd Noble bus services ends at 8p.m., and the text, home page, assumes
The cost of the parking would be held to a minimum. This is due to the
