111 Parking at UPIKE
Anonymous
Editor’s Note: This project was written by two anonymous students.
As we all know, college typically consists of several different types of students. Despite the vast differences between those students, there is one common attribute between them- transportation. After researching some of the difficulties of transitioning to college, it was found that one of the most difficult challenges was adapting to campus parking. To address this issue, a survey regarding safety, availability, and legality is presented. Logistical evidence is applied to determine the state of disposition that Upike students have concerning parking. Through the use of both quantitative and qualitative data, policy proposals to resolve the affair were established.
Policy Proposals
Parking Availability
- Scan Upike Id to enter parking garage
- Arrive early
- Expand Parking
- Construct new parking garage

- More emergency buttons

- Provide more clearance for larger vehicles
- Drive slower
Parking Legality
