Campus parking solutions spot on for fall semester

With the completion of Parking Structure III and its 3,100 parking spaces and other parking modifications, Sacramento State will see an improvement in parking space availability—a marked change from the past two fall semesters.

Campus officials are anticipating traffic and parking relief with a shift of parking emphasis from the north to the south side of campus. “The north side of campus was becoming heavily congested,” says Nancy Fox, director of University Transportation and Parking Services. “The south side of the campus—where Parking Structures II and III are located—has larger lots which are more easily accessible from the perimeter road.”

Parking Structures II and III are also newly designated this semester as “general student parking,” which means that faculty/staff and daily parking permits are valid at any time, rather than student permits only.

In addition, the number of carpool parking spaces on campus has increased to more than 200 spaces and are now located on the first floors in Parking Structures I and III. The spaces will be available to any campus carpoolers, rather than either being designated as faculty/staff or student carpool spaces.

In spite of the improved parking conditions, campus officials are still urging the university community to use alternative transportation such as the Hornet Shuttle or Regional Transit buses and light rail.
