Yes, it is a Party to Benefit the future commuters of UC San Diego.
If you disagree with paying more money for parking permits, then come.
If you like alternative transportation, then come.
Transportation and Parking Services just published a report that calls for the need to accommodate the growing number of students coming to UCSD in the next 5 years. Their solutions to this problem are as follows:
1. Restrictions on parking
2. Build another parking structure- Just proposed!!!
3. Expand alternative transportation options
Each of these solutions will have an impact on students next year and in the future.
1. Restrictions might be targeted towards residents... so that means allowing only a few residents to park on campus.
2. Creating a parking structure, which the Transportation Policy Committee will be voting on on Feb. 6th, means a 4-10% annual increase on permit fees until 2013 starting next year. So you may be looking at paying $1,089 a year just to park! NON-GRADUATING STUDENTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS!
3. Regional bus pass and trolley coming into UCSD are likely future expansions of alternative transportation. Which may come with a student fee, but may not be as big of a student fee as having another parking structure.
Therefore, we are hosting this forum/social in order to inform everyone that building a new parking structure is NOT the way to solve this problem.
This event is open to all... you do not need to be a commuter or over 21 to attend. Just interested in the topics of your money and the future of UCSD... oh yea and FREE FOOD :)
