The primary purpose of this transportation and
parking study is to determine short-term and
long-term recommendations to improve
campus parking at Michigan Technological
University (Michigan Tech). The parking study
initially evaluated existing conditions,
determined primarily through reviews of
background materials, limited parking
occupancy surveys, and stakeholder input
meetings. The examination of existing
conditions provided the foundation from which future parking operations, management,
and allocation strategies could be developed. Finally, parking alternatives were
considered to address future needs, as well as improve the utilization and efficiency of
existing parking resources. Future parking alternatives included potential parking supply
changes, as wel general parking operations/management strategies and
improvements.
