Transportation Tomorrow Forum: Maintaining Operations During an Uncertain Time
What's the Transportation Tomorrow Forum?
The Transportation Tomorrow Forum is an interactive discussion for Aggies to educate and develop ideas together. Join us in this on-going series to learn more what we are doing to facilitate and grow transportation, parking and commuter support for the Campus Community. All are welcome -- especially innovative and idea-driven Aggies looking to make a positive impact. Learn more about the forum by clicking here
SCENARIO | Transportation Services is an auxiliary unit on campus, meaning we have to generate our own money in order to remain operational. No monies may be taken from student tuition, the University, or the State. Parking may not be given away free of charge. We must find ways to fund ourselves, which is done through the sale of parking permits and enforcement. Revenue earned goes back to pay for deferred maintenance as well as upkeep of campus roads, pathways and funding for commuting programs (goClub). In times of crisis, Transportation Services still must enforce parking and serve UC Davis, which may cause stress on essential workers and students who must continue to report to campus.
DISCUSSION QUESTION | You are Executive Director of Transportation Services, there's a crisis and you must charge for parking. During a long-term crisis, what does a campus parking system look like to you?
WHAT TO EXPECT
