4. Recommendations from the Task Force
Two categories of recommendations:
“Must Do’s”
Other Recommendations for consideration

5. The “Must Do’s” Enhanced shuttle service
“North Only” / “South Only” parking tags
Three tier pricing structure for parking tags
Designated Visitor Parking on Hurd Campus

6. Enhance Shuttle Service
Addition of 3rd shuttle
Already part of the “operating cost” assumptions with BAM housing
Include at least one “EXPRESS” shuttle
Shuttle will need to service remote lots
Create inviting environment to ride
Courteous drivers
Predictable service
Possibility of outsourcing
Being done at Kutztown

7. “North” / “South” Hang Tags
Hang tags will have a North/South designation
Eliminates resident students commuting from North campus to Hurd campus
Designation will NOT apply to employees (residents only)

8. “North” / “South” Hang Tags – cont’d
Designate spaces on existing Foy Hall lot
25-30 Resident Only spaces
40-45 Faculty/Staff spaces
3 Admissions Visitor spaces
3 General Visitor spaces
1 Handicap space
Designated spaces facilitate snow removal

9. Three Tier Pricing Three Tiers “On Campus Premium” - $300/yr
71 spaces - W. Laurel & Geissinger/Laurel
“On Campus” - $150/yr
211 (current) spaces - All other on campus resident lots except Archives and Steel Field
On Street and Remote Lots - $50/yr
“License to hunt” for street parking and access to remote lots

10. Three Tier Pricing – cont’d
Offers affordable option for those who demonstrate a need for a car on campus
Student teaching
Clinicals
Creates approximately $50K per year of incremental revenue
Fund additional parking lot (see other considerations)
Fund future parking garage

11. Designate Admissions Parking on Hurd Campus
To showcase the HURD campus, prospective students must have easy access
Provide 3 designated spaces in Foy lot
Creative alternatives to provide spaces for other visitors:
Widow’s House
Central Moravian
Others?

12. Other Recommendations for Consideration
Extend Lot B to Iron Street
Assumes acquisition of final property on that quadrant (we believe that will happen soon)
Demolish 225, 227/229 Greenwich and two properties on Elizabeth Ave.
Creates approximately 60 additional spaces
Consistent with Master Plan
Former College overflow housing can be used by the Seminary (losing 227/229)
Fund through increased fees

13. Other Recommendations – Cont’d
Explore adding parking lot adjacent to Sig Ep fraternity
Creates approximately 25 additional spaces
NOT consistent with Master Plan (this space has been designated as part of the Athletic Master Plan)
Fund through increased fees

14. Other Recommendations – Cont’d
Explore Remote Lot alternatives
Affordable alternative for students who wish to “park” car for semester
Shuttles must service remote lots
Equip lots with lighting, emergency phones, and cameras if permissible
Potentially limit sophomore parking to remote lots only

15. Remote Lots – Cont’d Current thoughts for remote lots:
Those lots we own:
Archives Lot
Steel Field lot
Those Lots we do NOT own:
35 E. Elizabeth Ave.
City lots
Hill-to-hill bridge
West of entrance to Sand Island

16. Other Recommendations – Cont’d
Encourage/Facilitate bicycle use on campus
Survey suggests interest in this area
Market as a “green” alternative
Minimal investment
Racks
Storage sheds

17. Other Recommendations – Cont’d
Continue to explore ZipCar/Philly Car Share
“for profit” vs. “not for profit” models are very different
LVAIC initiative?
Determine the need for this based upon success of other alternatives

18. Other Recommendations – Cont’d
Consider creating “Corral” on Hurd campus
Currently only done during community events, Celtic Fest, and Kriskindlemart
ADVANTAGE: Immediate relief for Hurd campus creating approximately 60 spaces
DISADVANTAGE: When BAM project occurs, perception may be that we are adding 220 residents and adding only 5 parking spaces (corral is replaced with parking lot with only 65 spaces)

19. Other Recommendations – Cont’d
Fund future parking garage
Increased fees can be accumulated to fund future capital investment

20. TIMETABLE

Determine number of permits to issue/criteria for:
On Campus Premium
On Campus
