Parking Blues

Parking at CSUS becomes a problem the first week so school.

Stephan Jairal a Criminal Justice major at Sac State said.

"I had to get to school about an hour and a half early just to make sure I found a spot so I could get to class on time."

Stephan also said “Parking has gotten so much worse in the past year what with the number of new students

It was estimated that in November 2005 when parking structure 3 was under construction that, by spring of 2006 the campus would need an additional 12,135 parking spaces.

Now that it is 2008 the campus is again short the amount of spaces needed to accommodate students.

With an increase of over 6,000 students in the past two years, the student population is well over 29,000 students, says the academic affairs.

There are ways to work around the issue of parking, such as forms of public transit that stop at CSUS.

There is also a light rail station within walking distance of campus, and if a student decides to park in one of the further away.

The furthest most lots offer luxury shuttle service by Universal limousine to get the students where they need to be.
