Boldly Planning for Greatness

respected industry leader responsible for creating
a campus wide parking and transportation system
that is responsive to customer needs, selfsustaining, efficient, environmentally responsible
and equitable in the management of its resources.
Values:
Professionalism
Communication
Integrity
Accountability
Innovation
Teamwork
Environmental Sustainability
Financial Responsibility
Mission:
Parking & Transportation Services
supports the University’s mission by
maximizing campus access through
financially and environmentally
sustainable practices, superior customer
service, innovation and professional
management of parking facilities and
transportation resources.
The Changing Face of Campus
Approximately 300 D spaces were lost in 2010 with the
construction of the Business Leadership Building and
Highland Street Garage.
104 additional D spaces will be lost in the next six
weeks.
UNT will could lose approximately 1,000+ additional
spaces from inventory in the next 18months
The changing campus footprint necessitates review
and reallocation of parking inventory for equitable
management and to maximize this limited resource.
Two immediate events compounding the
need to make changes to the parking
operation:
1. Highland St. will close from Ave. C to Welch
for water line repairs. Parking will be
removed and
not returned.
2. Fleet of 18 new,
larger shuttle
buses will be
arriving to our
campus
1. Highland Street Repairs
84 D’s
17 Visitor
5 Disability
22 Meters
5 Service
4 CDL
1 15 minute/unloading
Total Losses:
138
Lot 24
Resident parking will be removed from Lot
24
This row of parking will be zoned:
1. Visitor
2. Disability
3. A spaces will be added to accommodate
changes from other areas of campus
4. Resident parking can easily shift to Lots
27 and 7.
Lot 24
2. Champion Buses begin arriving in
May 2012
a. The buses are longer, wider and taller
than the buses they are replacing
b. Routes must be adjusted to
accommodate the decreased
maneuverability
c. All routes utilizing Highland St. must
change
d. 20 D spaces on Mulberry (South side
only), between Ave. D and Ave. C must
be removed
Goal: Maximize Resources/Improve
Customer Service
Objective: Consolidate, group and reduce
reserved “A” parking spaces to maximize
resources and improve customer service
We can manage our parking
inventory much better than we
do now!
Why?
Reserved, single occupant designation is
the most inefficient use of parking inventory.
Total Number F/S Members
Total Number F/S D&A Spaces
Total Number F/S D’s
Total Number F/S A’s
3,549
2,525
1,829
696
So………
28% of our Parking is allotted to 20% of our F/S
72% of our Parking is allotted to 80% of our F/S
2,853 Employees are left sharing
1,829 D parking spaces
We MUST replace/increase
D parking
We MUST reduce the total
number of single occupant A
spaces
Current A space permit holders will be
accommodated in a reserved lot/area
Permits, initially, will not be oversold.
Occupancy rates taken during peak demand
will determine if additional permits can be
issued…
If a minimum of 10 spaces are available at 8:30,
9:30, 10:30, etc. five additional permits can
be offered. Then the process begins again
until the overall occupancy rate for the lot is
85 to 90%
Pilot program for lots 4, 5 and 26
a. “A” spaces in these three lots will be
combined into lot 4 – Permits will not
be space specific
b. “D” spaces will be added to 5 and 26
c. Health and Career Services spaces will
remain in lot 5
d. Visitor spaces will remain in lot 26
e. Visitor spaces in lot 4 will be moved to
Chestnut Street
Lot 5
Lot 4
Lot
26
Current Configuration:
D Spaces: 271
A Spaces: 130
Number of Patient/Career Center
Spaces, Disability Spaces and Visitor
Spaces will not change. Visitor spaces
in Lot 4 will be relocated to the Ave. D.
Proposed Configuration with
Customer Service Improvements:
D Spaces: 283
A Spaces: 118
Visitor spaces will be visible from the information booth
Visitors are much less likely to inadvertently park in an
A space for a $125 parking fine.
Mixed use lots are confusing, frustrating and
a great source for customer service issues.
i.e. Clients to Career Services miss the
parking set aside for them and park in a
reserved space. That citation is $125. In
addition to frustrating the individual who
parked improperly, you have a reserved
permit holder who has no place to park.
This is a practice PTS would like to avoid
whenever possible.
We can provide better Customer Service.
Lot 6 Finally Reverts back to Lot 8
Lot 8/9 will become Lot 9 and will be
zoned for D parking. Four Hall Director
spaces will not be affected.
Current A space holders will be
accommodated in Lot 8 (Lot 6),Lot 4 or Lot
24. Unsold spaces are removed.
Net gain of D parking spaces: 65
Lot 8
This change will also help
alleviate concerns
regarding A permit holders
parking in D spaces
Lot 9
Lot 50
A spaces in Lot 50 will be consolidated and
Renumbered with the unsold spaces being removed.
All current A permit holders will be accommodated.
Three spaces in this lot will be the site of 2 EV
Charging Stations
Net gain of D Spaces is 50!
Summary:
Total number of D spaces gained:
(Much better than losing 104)
Total number of A spaces eliminated
23
108
Current A permit holders will be accommodated
prior to any additional A permits being sold
D permit holders will not be the sole group
to absorb parking losses
Parking distribution will be more equitable
Parking Resources will be more efficiently
utilized
