USC Policy Revision

Like i said in the quiz last class, the parking "system" on the USC campus is in URGENT need of revision. I call it a "system" because it really isn't a reliable system at all. I propose that there be more parking spaces, whether free or via meter, but regardless, there be semester-round parking passes that can be purchased through the CITY of Columbia rather than the school, so that once you have paid a certain amount for the semester, you have access to unlimited parking at ANY meter in the city and on campus. If this change were implemented it would be less difficult for students to get correct change, harder to get tickets and also profit the city. Since this proposition would ultimately profit the city, even after the costs of developing a system to make the passes, which is both the city's and school's motivation. The parking "system" is the way it is because it makes money. Most people don't have enough change or quarters, which causes them to get tickets. If the price of a pass were resonable for both the city and the students (approx. 200$), in the end, everyone would benefit. Anyways, it would be worth it not to be so frustrated EVERYDAY!
