A LOOK AT COLLEGE PARKING
FOR SEVERAL DECADES THE OPERATION AND PARKING OF AUTOMOBILES, AND NOW MOTORCYCLES, HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM FOR THE ADMINISTRATION IN TODAYS COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES. WITH MANY COLLEGE CAMPUSES APPROACHING MASSIVE STUDENT ENROLLMENTS, 20,000 BEING NOT AT ALL UNUSUAL, THE CONTROL OF THE MOTOR VEHICLES HAS BECOME DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. BECAUSE OF THE REALIZATION OF COMPLEXITY OF THIS SITUATION, THE COLLEGE POLICE DEPARTMENT AT RICHMOND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTE SURVEYED 184 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO SEEK SOME GUIDANCE FROM EXISTING PROGRAMS AND TO ATTEMPT TO ACQUIRE SUFFICIENT MATERIAL AND INFORMATION TO DEVELOP A MODEL PROGRAM. WITHIN THE SURVEYS RETURNED WAS INFORMATION REPRESENTING 91 PUBLICLY SUPPORTED SCHOOLS AND 33 PRIVATELY SUPPORTED SCHOOLS WITH STUDENT ENROLLMENTS FROM 1500 TO 58,000. OF 124 INSTITUTIONS RESPONDING, 41%, OR 61 SCHOOLS, FOUND IT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE A SPECIAL OFFICE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SUPERVISING AND REGISTERING MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE CAMPUS. A MAJORITY OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES MADE PARKING ASSIGNMENTS ON A LOT BASIS, AS OPPOSED TO ASSIGNING AN INDIVIDUAL SPACE. PARKING REGULATION VIOLATORS WERE GENERALLY IDENTIFIED BY EITHER WINDOW OR BUMPER VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION STICKERS. A MAJORITY OF THE SCHOOLS THAT INDICATED METHODS OF FINANCING PARKING AREAS AND STRUCTURES RELATED THAT THE GENERAL OPERATIONS BUDGET OF THE COLLEGE WAS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDS. /AUTHOR/
