We appreciated the opportunity to discuss parking, share recommendations and receive feedback after our forums in March. As we move forward, we will share the final recommendations with the community through both the Message Center and a direct email to all employees and students. I recognize there will be changes that some members of our community feel go too far, and others that do not go far enough. We will continue to take steps every year to try and make incremental improvements to address parking compression. 

As a reminder, we encourage all community members to download and use the Park Zen app. Utilizing this app during the pilot phase is one of the solutions we are testing.
