Best practice: 70% to parking operations/capital, 30% to general fund. Parking department needs investment authority.
How do we handle permit fraud?
Digital permits with QR codes + photo ID. LPR-based validation at gates. Zero tolerance enforcement. Most fraud eliminated through digital permits.
What's reasonable pricing for student vs. faculty permits?
Faculty: $300–500/year covering operational costs. Students: $100–250/year subsidized. Visitors: $3–5/day.
Can we require students to pay for parking in fees?
Yes, many campuses do. Mandatory fees simplify collection but require clear communication. Optional permits provide flexibility.
How do we handle students in faculty reserved spaces?
Strict enforcement: First warning, second $75+ fine, third loss of permit. Consistency matters more than severity.
