PROPOSED PARKING PLAN The proposed parking plan approaches parking as a campus-wide system. It considers access, efficiency, and the types of parking needed and makes recommendations to both policy and the physical plant in order to align the parking system with current and future needs. The first recommendation is to enhance existing parking regulations and types by creating four main groups: faculty and staff; restricted parking; unrestricted parking; and two- and four-hour public street parking, and then designating lots to receive specific groups. The second recommendation is to establish permit parking by zone, in order to create a “park once” policy. This policy will reduce short on-campus vehicular trips and reduce illegal parking on campus. Critical to the success of updates to the parking policy is a robust and consistent enforcement protocol. Lastly, the plan recommends increasing parking facilities in new and expanded lots at 1) the future Music and Dance facility, 2) near Chapel Avenue to support the Cultural Corridor, and 3) within the core campus to support athletics, Sykes, Paresky, Gelb and other growing short and long-term needs.

PROPOSED PARKING PLAN
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES FOR PARKING Creating a “park once” policy will reduce short vehicular trips, reducing the impact of cars on campus and the environment. Designing parking lots to high performance standards will reduce their impact on the environment. Examples include the use of bio-swales to sustainably manage stormwater; energy-efficient, dark-sky lighting to limit light pollution; and priority parking spaces for electric vehicles.
