More (any) bike storage / parking. More frequent bus shuttles around campus including to research park. Campus shuttles to nearby neighborhoods. Covered bus stops. Parking reform - including pay-as-you-go in the CNC for faculty.

For how much tuition is parking should be free for students. We pay enough to go to the school we shouldn't have to pay for a pass that we most likely won't be able to find a spot to use because of the lack of parking.

If you could remove the military base and connect research park to main campus via both Trax and walking paths, this would be very helpful for us in ELI who work over here. We have about 200 students here daily, but they do not have easy access to main campus.

More student housing (times 10) and Trax to Research Park .

turn BEHS into a U permit parking garage

Former student and current employee…the parking situation isn’t the best. To the amount of commuting students / employees by cars, to the parking fees, to the ticket prices, to the lack of parking spots. None of it is good. UTA isn’t safe for a lot of people, campus safety past 8 pm is arguable. Students have to walk far just to get into the dorms, sometimes even their classroom, and whenever there is a sporting event, all of those issues become even a bigger problem for students and campus employees. Red butte concert and your a hospital employee? Good luck, there goes your only logical parking space.

Our great campus… keep presidents circle! Go Utes!

Let's sculpt a future where innovation meets sustainability, creating a campus that not only grows but thrives for generations to come.

Unlimited parking passes for limited parking spaces 📈

More cheaper housing!!!!!!!

Easy parking + More parking + PARKING LOTS + Please more U permit parking!

Parking is horrific. I go to class hours early just to get a spot years away from where I’m meant to be

A gondola from hospital straight down 200S to Central Station/Rio Grande. Intermediate stops here and there mid block. Only half joking.

more parking enforcement 🎉

turn all parking lots into construction sites 🥰🥰

Bars on campus

improve accessibility for chair users! ♿️

For the love of god, please fix the housing and make it so upper division students can get housing +yes, if your a student you should have the option for housing all 4-5 years

Either make or so upper division students can actually get housing or add more parking. And for the love of anything holy give EAE (or whatever it's called now) a real building and not a storage closet. You brag about being on top for game dev and give the department scraps. +PREACH

Do NOT increase parking! Prioritizing sustainability, clean air, and preserving green space means alternate means of getting to the University must be emphasized. I am lucky -- I live very close to a bus route that gets me to campus -- but not all geographic areas from which campus community members commute are so easy to access. If we are going to value a limit on parking, we have to come up with other ways for people to travel here.

University of Utah efforts to alleviate parking have so far been disappointing. If the university wants to get rid of the "commuter school" reputation, the University of Utah MUST create more on-campus housing and keep it affordable for the intended residents. Salt Lake City off-campus has become too expensive, and if the university does not want people driving their cars to commute from a half-hour to an hour or more away from the university, then the university MUST provide affordable campus housing (yes, I repeated myself to make sure the point comes across; this point is NOT negotiable given the current housing market). If this means demolishing current structures and building new apartments, so be it. New structures must be built vertically, like the medical towers, if the university does not intend to acquire more land. The university will also have to make sure students have all the resources they need (e.g., food, toiletries, school supplies) on campus. Only once there is enough housing and sufficient on-campus resources for undergraduate students can the university reasonably expect that parking will get better. However, to make this happen, the university may also have to make parking unavailable to undergraduates or else severely restrict (perhaps through very high fees) the ability of undergraduates to buy a parking pass. The university should not expect graduate students, staff, post-docs, or faculty to avoid using their cars. Non-undergraduate members of the university (such as myself) often live off-campus and may live miles away from the university in order to purchase or rent a home more suitable for their stage in life. Partly because we are more likely to live further away from campus, it should not be expected that public transportation or riding a bike will be sufficient for transportation to the university. My commute by car is 20 minutes with no traffic or 45-75 minutes during rush hour traffic one-way. Just given the length of time alone, I will not use public transportation or ride a bike to the university (plus, driving allows me to more easily run errands). If the university wants to reduce parking and emissions issues with non-undergraduate members, remote work should be allowed where possible. Yes, many companies are trying to bring back in-person work due to presence of physical buildings and a belief among some that an office culture is beneficial. However, not everyone benefits from being in an office; some (like myself) benefit from working from home since we do not get as much work done in an office setting. Being in an office can be distracting when working on tasks that require a lot of focus, and frankly, the commute through Salt Lake City alone can be maddening and create a terrible start to the work day. Having people stay home when office work is unnecessary would reduce the number of cars on campus, reduce emissions from commuting, and make some employees happier.

Please dont build a parking garage and instead focus on better public transportation. Adding more car parking will increase the problem and public transport is free, easy, cheaper, and lets the campus have room for more student housing and classrooms. Also ots cheaper

We need more shuttle routes and bike paths that go from South campus to North Campus!

I agree with many of the other comments that the U lacks a good quad/central meeting and socialization space for students. The plazas in front of the library and the union feel like barren concrete blocks with very little student activity. I really wish that the U had more of a central recognizable landmark. I also would hope that in the future new buildings on campus had more personality and character to their design. The most recent buildings on campus (i.e. Kahlert Village, Student Life Center, etc.) feel so cold and impersonal, I would love to see more buildings on campus that have designs similar to the buildings in President's circle.
