Metered Parking

The metered parking available to the students and public is offered with the choice of $1.50 per hour parking with a 3 hour maximum time frame or a 2 hour and 80 minute parking limit depending on the location of the meter. When parking at a meter it is important to be careful the meter is working properly and records the correct amount of money inserted in order to avoid a parking ticket. A student at A.S.U. stated, “Unless you splurge on a parking pass, parking on campus can be difficult at times. Relying on meters is a risky situation.” The metered parking I have chosen to evaluate, available on North Campus is scattered up and down the street of 7th Street and Forest Ave. Most of these parking meters lining the street are free after 7p.m. – 6a.m.
