It is ridiculous that commuters to Towson University in Maryland are forced to drive around for over an hour to find a parking spot. If a parking spot can't be found a student has two options. 1) Go home and miss class and the possibly of having a grade reduction because of an absence, or 2) park in a spot that is not authorized for commuters and receive a insanely large $75 fine. By signing this petition you agree that action needs to be taken. First, more space should be available to commuters who have a right to be able to get to class on time. Second, the fines for parking in a wrong spot are too extreme. A new system for tickets should be put into place. Maybe some of the 45.4 million dollars that is being poured into the highly opposed Towson Center area addition should be considered for a new parking garage and/or lot. Please sign if you agree and any comments for the administration or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently reviewing all the stories you posted about missing exams and paying unfair fines. The administration is still ignoring us so take a screenshot of this link and post it on your Facebook page to force their hand.

We hit our first major milestone and the administration is starting to take notice. Post this link on your Facebook page right now and email the parking office to let them know we are tired of these unfair fines.

The parking deck in front of the CFA is a MAD HOUSE. I paid for a parking pass and now I am forced to walk most days. Completely ridiculous.

I literally have to arrive on campus 90 minutes early just to have a prayer of finding a spot in the West Village garage. It is an absolute joke.

Sent this email to towson parking services: Dear Towson Parking Department, Despite having paid $300 for a parking permit, I am frequently unable to find any parking available anywhere, and have been forced to miss classes as a result. I have gone as far as to the west village parking garage, only to find that someone has cordoned off 90% of the garage with orange cones and caution rope, blocking me from reaching the parking spaces I paid for, and leaving it entirely empty. I have decided it is more effective to simply walk to school, so I would like a full refund to be provided, since my parking permit is actually worth $0, as it does not actually give access to any parking spaces as it promised. If a refund cannot be provided, I would like changes to be made to the parking infrastructure so that students have access to the parking spaces they paid for. (It would be easy to have an employee remove the cones and rope that someone placed in the west village parking garage. They looked rather light so I recon someone of modest build could do it in only 10 minutes.) Thank you for your help.
