FY22

During FY22, Parking & Transportation started to recover from the financial hit brought on by COVID. The recovery has helped stabilize their operations and is allowing them to plan for needed future growth.

P&T was awarded a Be Smart About Safety grant to purchase two wheelchair accessible, electric GEM cars for the LOOP program. They will take delivery of the new electric cars in FY22-23.

P&T has supported a very busy Spring of in-person events on campus which included: a record setting campuswide commencement, multiple department commencements, and a very busy start to the Greek Theatre concert season.

The team also plans to work with the ASUC Senate and the Graduate Assembly to renew the Class Pass Referendum and make sure it is placed on the April 2023 ballot.
