ACCESS, PARKING AND COST CRITERIA FOR URBAN UNIVERSITIES
INCREASED AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP AMONG BOTH STUDENTS AND FACULTY, COMBINED WITH MORE EXTENSIVE USE, HAS LED TO ADDITIONAL CAMPUS PARKING DEMANDS. MOST OF THE UNIVERSITIES INCLUDED IN THIS RESEARCH ARE AUTO-ORIENTED BECAUSE OF THEIR UNIQUE LOCATION WITHIN THE URBAN AREA. FURTHERMORE, IN MANY CASES THE UNIVERSITY-ORIENTED TRANSIT SERVICE IS POORER THAN TO OTHER WORK CENTERS WITHIN THE SAME COMMUNITY. PARKING AND ACCESS PLANNING ON MOST CAMPUSES IS EITHER SADLY LACKING OR ELSE RECEIVES VERY LOW PRIORITY. EACH UNIVERSITY HAD DEVELOPED PARKING CONTROLS APPARENTLY BEST SUITED TO ITS OWN PARTICULAR CONDITIONS, BUT MANY PROBLEMS POSED BY THE AUTOMOBILE ARE SURPRISINGLY SIMILAR FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS. THE DATA PRESENTED IN THIS ARTICLE DEPICT THE CURRENT CONDITIONS WITH REGARD TO ACCESS, PARKING, AND COST AT THE 51 UNIVERSITIES INCLUDED IN THIS RESEARCH. RECOMMENDED PARKING STANDARDS ARE SUGGESTED. /AUTHOR/
