When you hear the word “parking” while on campus at Florida International University, what do you think of? Going up all the way to the roof because you know you will not find parking anywhere else?

implications of free parking in the United States, Donald Shoup’s “The High Cost of Free Parking” is a work that successfully critiques a specific part of car centric America: free parking.

lot of traffic, but where does everyone park? Parking is an ongoing problem for many different cities but Pittsburgh for sure has very limited parking. You are always hunting to find a spot.

the cost and availability of student parking specifically on the west bend of the Twin Cities campus. As of right now there is roughly 1600 west bend parking spots open to both students and the public. Half of these parking spots are contracted out through a lottery or by hourly parking. Unfortunately there are only 158 parking spots on the west bank that are offered at a low daily rate. I realize that parking can be rather constraining due to the limited spaces available on campus but it may be beneficial
desire to socialize. In the earliest days of cars, parking was not a huge deal seen as how most people could not afford such a luxury; soon however, came the large-scale production of cars at affordable prices and cars began to encroach upon society. Jumping to modern-day, we fully acknowledge the need for adequate parking, yet we still choose to sacrifice huge portions of land to automobiles when not in use.

Tatyanna Parral-Gamarra, a commuter from Falls Church, Virginia, finds driving to class a pain in the asphalt. " I bought a parking permit for both the fall and spring semester and I've only ever parked about 15 to 20 times both semesters in the garage. Every school day I have a class that meets at 9, I only live 15 minutes away so I get to campus at 8:30, but even then there is never a place to park! Thus, I have no choice but to start my commute before 8 o'clock in order for me to park my car.
We know it will be good for us, but we can never seem to drag ourselves to do it. Excuse after excuse, the guilt builds up, and we find ourselves in gym shorts and tennis shoes headed to that formidable building we are all far too familiar with—the gym. At first, it might mistakably seem as a simple sanctuary for a workout—a quick jog on the treadmill or a joyride on the elliptical—but in actuality, it is an entire world of its own: a universe of competition and a solar system full of yoga pants

At the front of the lot, signs acknowledging spots for mothers with small children can be seen next to the handicap spaces. The tall cement building is lined with pumpkins and decorative
At five in the morning, my father rolled up in front of my tasteless high school to drop me off for a weekend getaway to Virginia Beach with my beloved band and orchestra. My charismatic friends bolted towards the sight of my father’s silver Buick as I sprung out to wearily, yet excitedly, drag myself into the band room of the unsanitary construction zone, better known as Wethersfield High School. I strode to the ivory room to get my glossy, wooden, semi-professional clarinet, and my light blue monstrosity

The current design of the campus parking is faculty and staff takes the whole first row then they take first fifteen to twenty spots of the other rows. This causes students to not park in the front causing them parking at the end. The parking is unorganized because student seem to forget where they parked and causing them walk around the whole parking campus to find their car. You may think Faculty and Staff and Police are important and special, but students are also important or there won’t be class
Yes, Parking Reform Is Possible by Donald Shoup discusses how the curb parking requirements and cost in a city can be regulated to allow lesser time spent searching for parking slots and increase the number of available slots while still ensuring that they are maximally utilized.

Using SFparking, he demonstrated how innovative strategized parking reformations have allowed reduction of congestion in normally filled parking and
