Some of the common staff parking problems are: Skewed Staff-Parking Ratio: This is a very common problem with fewer parking spots as compared to the number of faculty. Faculty often have to arrive earlier than their shift timing just to grab a parking spot. Empty Designated Parking: When designated space-holders don’t come to work when they are on leave or are out of the campus for any meeting, their spots remain empty. This leads to animosity among staff who can’t understand why they can’t use spaces that seem to be empty all the time. Congestion for Favorite Spot: Everyone loves the spot that is closest to the building, class, or office. This keeps that spot busy and congested all the time, and creates an unnecessary ruckus.
