Motorcycle Parking

The number of students riding motorcycles to campus this year has increased from 2007-2009, but campus parking officials say they expected more given the higher-than-average gas price.

This year, parking and transportation services sold 345 motorcycle permits and an exorbitant 11,082 parking permits. The previous year, 320 motorcycle permits were sold.

“As you can see we have a slight increase [of motorcycle permits], but not as much as I anticipated with the price of gas,” said Richard Adamo, parking manager of operations.

Students can purchase motorcycle permits for $22.20 this week and for $19 after Friday.

Adamo said parking services usually sell five to ten additional motorcycle permits between now and Aug. 15 when they expire.
