Certain groups on campus want to build another parking structure to alleviate parking problems on campus. If this happens, student parking permit prices would rise from $61 per month to about $100 per month. If you are not OK with this price increase, then you must make your opinion heard.
Here's some more details on the Transportation and Parking Services report which can be seen at parking.ucsd.edu:
Transportation and Parking Services just published a report that calls for the need to accommodate the growing number of students coming to UCSD in the next 5 years. Their solutions to this problem are as follows:
- 1. Restrictions on parking
- 2. Build another parking structure- Just proposed!!!
- 3. Expand alternative transportation options
Each of these solutions will have the following impact on students next year and in the future:
- 1. Restrictions might be targeted towards residents- so that means allowing only a few residents to park on campus. More feasible than rising parking costs.
- 2. Creating a parking structure- This will be voted on by the Transportation Policy Committee on Feb. 6th. This means a 4-10% annual increase on permit fees until 2013 starting next year. So you may be looking at paying $1,089 a year just to park! NON-GRADUATING STUDENTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS!
- 3. Regional bus pass and a trolley coming into UCSD are likely future expansions of alternative transportation. Which may come with a student fee, but may not be as big of a student fee as having another parking structure.
This will especially affect you if you are still an on-campus resident at UCSD - you will eventually be a commuter!
