Many universities are alleviating their parking issues by encouraging the use of mass transit. This is accomplished by offering students free or reduced-price transportation passes.
Similarly, they are developing their own shuttle bus systems, which connect high-volume destinations on or near a campus with student housing, remote parking lots and neighborhood areas. Shuttle buses are particularly useful in making the overall parking experience more pleasant, because they significantly reduce the amount of time spent searching for available spaces, as a driver knows ahead of time which parking lots to utilize.
Vanpooling and carpooling are also proving to be effective.
Another option is to reduce demand for parking spaces that already exist. At many universities, it’s not uncommon for freshmen and sophomores not to be issued parking permits, restricting permits to upperclassmen only. Some urban colleges have taken this a step further. Columbia University in New York City, for example, doesn’t allow any students to park on campus. Only faculty and support staff members are issued parking permits.
