Abstract
Parking
within
the
Campus
of
Minnesota
State
Mankato
is
somewhat
limited
to
students.
The
campus
of
MSU
has
various
small
amounts
of
parking
in
the
core
of
the
campus
and
the
rest
of
the
parking
is
located
on
the
outer
parts
of
campus.
Students,
especially
ones
living
on
campus
in
the
dorms
need
closer
parking
available
to
them.
The
prices
of
parking
passes
are
also
very
high
for
students
wanting
to
park
in
the
available
parking
lots
in
the
campus
core
which
leads
to
them
buying
parking
passes
for
the
parking
lots
farther
from
campus.
In
order
to
make
more
parking
available
and
more
affordable
to
students
living
on
campus,
MSU
needs
to
increase
its
parking
supply
within
the
core
of
campus
by
adding
a
parking
ramp.
Parking
passes
can
also
be
made
more
suitable
and
affordable
to
students
living
on
campus
by
implementing
a
priority
system
to
students
living
on
campus
wanting
to
purchase
parking
passes
within
the
campus
core.
Introduction
Wouldnt
it
be
inconvenient
for
students
to
live
on
campus
and
pay
for
parking
passes
to
then
have
to
walk
a
far
distance
just
to
get
to
their
car
because
there
is
very
little
parking
within
the
core
of
MSUs
campus.
Well
not
all
students
who
attend
Minnesota
State
University
Mankato
live
on
campus
and
therefore
share
the
very
few
parking
spots
in
the
campus
core
with
other
students
who
do
in
fact
live
on
campus.
Students
with
cars
living
on
campus
have
a
limited
number
of
parking
spaces
available
to
them
in
the
core
of
the
campus.
The
parking
lots
on
campus
for
students
living
in
dorms
can
also
be
located
a
long
distance
away.
The
MSU
parking
availability
on
campus
is
insufficient
for
students
living
on
campus
and
off
campus.
The
problems
that
arise
with
the
current
parking
at
MSU
include
not
enough
parking
that
is
close
to
dorms
or
campus
buildings
and
the
parking
pass
prices
for
parking
lots
within
the
campus.
parking
availability
is
seen
within
the
core
part
of
campus.
Students
parking
in
the
bigger
lots
on
the
outer
part
of
campus
have
a
considerable
distance
in
order
to
get
to
their
dorm.
Location Problem
The
available
location
for
parking
is
a
factor
of
parking
problems.
Issues
due
to
inadequate
supply
of
parking
are
becoming
more
critical.
Areas
for
concern
are
places
Figure

Parking
Pass
Prices
with
crowded
populations
or
areas
with
limitations
on
applying
an
efficient
parking
procedure
(Barata,
Cruz,
Ferreira).
This
refers
to
why
there
is
so
few
parking
lots
in
the
campus
core.
There
isnt
a
raw
land
supply
in
the
core
of
the
campus
available
to
sustain
an
additional
lot.
But
something
like
a
parking
ramp
does
not
need
any
additional
land
and
can
be
added
to
an
existing
parking
lot
within
the
campus.

Conclusion
It
would
be
nice
to
not
have
to
drive
around
campus
more
than
once
to
find
a
parking
spot
and
to
not
have
to
walk
a
long
distance
from
the
available
parking
lots.
These
problems
can
be
solved
by
building
a
parking
ramp
on
campus
in
Lot
16
or
Lot
4a.
Building
a
parking
ramp
would
lead
to
more
parking
spaces
available
on
campus.
