USU begins $10 parking registration for stadium lot, streets By
USU media relations & marketing
Beginning fall semester, 2000, all people who park a vehicle on university property will be required to register their vehicle at the USU Parking Office and pay a $10 annual fee. This policy was recommended by the Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee in fall 1999 and was approved by the administration. The voting members of the committee consist of three faculty members, two staff members and five students. The Parking Office will place flyers on vehicles during the first week of school, reminding students, faculty and staff of the new registration requirement. Large signs will also be placed at the entrances to all formerly free parking areas. Most areas are on the perimeter of campus -- the largest area affected is at the stadium. The registration fees generate revenue for a new parking structure on campus. During one of the parking committee's meetings, a variety of funding options were discussed, and one of the proposals was to charge everyone who parks a vehicle on the USU campus an annual fee. The committee concluded that there is no such thing as a free parking area -- each area on campus needs to be maintained, which includes crack sealing, painting, snow removal and cleaning. If you have any questions or need further information regarding this issue, please contact Lisa Leishman, director of the USU Parking and Transportation office at (435) 797-3414.
