New Parking Meters Installed

New parking meters were installed in the parking lot across from the Huston Huffman Center.
The new parking meters will provide parking for students without parking permits who want to use the lot for last minute errands or need a place to park while on campus.
The meters have a two hour time limit with rates of three minutes for a nickel, six minutes for a dime and 15 minutes for a quarter. These rates are standard throughout campus, according to parking and transportation.
Robert Chase, UOSA director of off-campus living, said the meters were installed as a result of a questionnaire published last semester assessing student’s attitude towards parking and transportation.
“Over 3000 students took the survey and every response was read,” said Roberts.
The new parking additions will not affect the price of parking permits, according to parking and transportation.
“I’m glad they have new parking meters because now they have new facilities for commuters which will allow them to avoid a potential parking fine,” said Holly Smith, chemistry senior.
