Background Problems
5

• v Surface Parking
• w 147 lots difficult to manage
• w losses due to building construction
• v Low Permit Rates
• w artificially low rates have prevented an
  accumulation of a cash reserve for deck
  construction
• w considered a faculty/staff benefit
• v Convenience
• w parking close to workplace is considered
  important for convenience and safety
• w there is a significant backlog in several
  areas of the campus
• v Master Plan
• w underestimated demand
• w some decks in low-demand areas

Background Planning Study

Purpose

• Determine existing parking demand
• Evaluate parking adequacy in light of proposed
  facility development (Campus Master Plan)
• Develop options for increasing parking supply to
  meet demand, including estimates of probable cost
• Determine parking development priorities
• Recommend revenue streams to satisfy debt service

Completion of the build-out of the campus is
estimated to occur between 2040 and 2060 for
areas north of St. Marys Road. At that time, we
estimate that we will need about 16,434 Parking
spaces on campus. The current version of the
Master Plan will provide only 8,514 Spaces.

Supply and Demand Analysis When the Master Plan
is built-out, we will still have a shortage of
parking
At full build-out, we are still short 7,920
parking spaces. Self-parking dominates all
transportation alternatives, unless mandated
otherwise. Constructing to a higher density will
result in an additional shortage of 3,240
parking spaces. As a result, we really must
formally amend the Master Plan to identify
additional, viable sites for structure parking.

Supply and Demand Analysis Summary
15
Current and projected demand require immediate
action

• Existing revenue structure cannot support new
  construction and maintenance costs
• First shortages will occur in the North Campus
  region
• Additional parking decks will be required as
  development triggers occur
• Amend Master Plan parking provisions

Clientele Input
A questionnaire was recently used to investigate
attitudes about parking, its cost, location and
availability in the north campus area. Out of
1000 survey forms sent to the faculty and staff
on north campus on March 23, 2001, 351 survey
forms were returned by 500 PM on April 12, 2001.
The data in the multiple choice questions were
treated statistically and the results are
depicted on the graphs in the following frames.

Shuttle parking is currently available at a rate
of 70/year, providing a savings of 235 or 77
over FY02 rental rates. How much would this

SCCO Questionnaire
If more parking is needed within the north
campus area, a multi-level parking structure
would be required and would necessitate a rate
increase. In FY02 parking rates will be
305/year. What percentage rate increase would
you be willing to pay to assure a convenient,
multi-level structure?

Recommendations Campus Action Items

• To increase revenue, implement a standard annual
  parking permit rate increase to provide funds for
  the transition from surface to deck parking.
• Raise meter rates from .50 per hour to 1.00 per
  hour or higher.
• Approve new enforcement policies that will result
  in greater revenues.
• Identify effective strategies to reduce demand
  for parking spaces near the heart of the campus.

have chosen to feed the meters rather than use
the unpopular shuttle.
