About Parking

Vision Statement

Parking and Transportation Services will provide the highest value service in an efficient, responsive and accountable manner.  We ensure parking and transporation needs are met for all users.  Central campus lots have a higher value and cost.  The outer lots are more economical but maintain a high value with the availability of the shuttle service.  The shuttle system bridges the less convenient parking by providing transportation service to convenient stops at central campus destinations.

Our management is based on the philosophy of a parking triangle with the principles of convenience, inexpensive and sufficient at each point.

 

Two principles of the parking triangle can be met, but not three.  If the parking is inexpensive and convenient, it will not be sufficient.  If there is sufficient parking and it is inexpensive, it will not be convenient.  And if there is sufficient parking and it is convenient, it will be expensive.

Parking and Transportation Services will be operated through the application of the principles of an enterprise.  This means that full cost recovery will be generated via a variety of parking rates generally based on the value of the service.  The gross revenue will be adequate to cover all costs of operation, including planning for the future growth of the campus community.  We are sensitive to our customers and treat them at the highest level of courtesy under any situation.
