Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee

The Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee (PTAC) will advise the Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs on parking issues that include current challenges and future needs to provide sufficient, sustainable, and accessible parking for faculty, staff, students, and visitors; while balancing those needs with alternative transportation goals. The committee will review and make recommendation on: 

Strategic Planning for Parking Needs 

  • Review the University’s Strategic Plan in relation to impacts on parking from future enrollments, personnel, and infrastructure growth. Review possible solutions that can be implemented to fill the gap between current and future needs/goals to include ride split goals.
  • Propose a schedule for phasing in the implementation of preferred strategies to facilitate implementation of the Capital and Financing Plan.

Financial Review

  • Review the 2019-2021 financial pro-forma to ensure that parking revenues are sufficient to sustain Parking Services operational and planned Capital expenses.

Reserve Permits 

  • As the University expands its efforts into the local community and regions more positions will come and go quickly, requiring an increase in the number of reserved spaces. Review the approach on reserve space numbers.

Communications 

  • Establish guidelines for effective communication to the University on parking changes.
