As construction at the University increases, the availibility of parking decreases but yet the parking fees incease every year. Not only do staff and students have to compete every day to make it to the University due traffic conjestion, once they arrive there are no spots to be found close to work and classes. In inclement weather, the parking lots are not adequately cleared to allow for maximum parking or safe walking to the buildings. New buildings are designed without parking being integrated into the plans. The remote lots are not monitored for safety of vehicles and individuals. In summary, we are all extremely concerned that Parking Services are not assessing the location and amount of parking needed by the University's faculty, staff, students and clients.

I am currently gathering documented accounts from students and staff about the dangerous conditions in the remote lots. Send me your photos of uncleared snow and poorly lit areas so I can present this evidence to the administration. Call the Parking Services office today to demand they address these safety concerns immediately.

Reaching this milestone proves that the administration cannot ignore our struggle with parking any longer. Post the petition link to your Facebook page and text three friends who commute to campus. Send an email to your student representative demanding they put this on the agenda for the next board meeting.

Walking from the remote lot in the middle of winter is actually dangerous. The ice is terrible and nobody ever salts the walkways.

Ridiculous that I pay hundreds for a pass just to drive around for 30 minutes looking for a spot in that gravel lot behind the arena.

Parking services is a total joke. They hike the prices up every single semester but wont fix the giant potholes or plow the snow properly. Greedy.

Stop building new stuff if you cant handle the cars that come with it. It is simple math really.

I feel so unsafe walking to my car at night. Needs more lighting and security patrols out there.

Always late for my 8am because there is literally nowhere to park. Fix it.
