Speak up Be heard: Parking and transit

A Blue BMW has been parked in the same spot for several months in the Apache garage (2nd level near ramp to 3rd level). They do have a resident permit but they may move a few times but on Monday I saw the student park his car and add the ticket back to his window. I have been parking in the same spot for several months and have watched this car either not be there when I get to work in the morning and parks after I get there or is there in the morning and gone when I leave work. The ticket on the car was printed 04/03/2025. Not sure if his goal was that because there was a ticket on the car, then PTS would not give him another one?

Hello and good afternoon. I am in my almost 4th year of being a staff member at ASU and it is getting harder to understand how it is that I have to pay $780 per year to park to come to work. That is a lot of money coming out of my current salary that barely covers my rent, car insurance, utilities, groceries, gas, etc. If I felt safer parking off campus in the surrounding neighborhoods or riding the buses or the light rails, I would but as a female, I don't feel safe walking off campus. People are honestly in shock when I tell them how much I pay to park to go to work. I have had faculty laugh in my face when they joke that it is only $30 per pay period and they can afford that or they have a secret, free parking spot off campus and nearby. That is a lot that for someone that isn't making what a faculty member makes. I would like for a discount to be considered for at least half or even free parking.

Today 05/06/2025 at around 12:00pm there is a red Nissan Rogue with a temporary license plate (528921U) has been parked over the line making it difficult to park in the spot besides it.. The vehicle has been parked near the Lot 59 North bus stop. Vehicles like this always create a nuisance while parking as the lot is already crowded and such vehicles make remaining spots inaccessible. Please take appropriate action regarding this.

I was wondering if ASU would consider offer free parking for staff, students, faculty to complete appointments in OHR, or offer OHR the ability to validate parking. I have heard complaints from people visiting OHR for training, Orientation, I-9 appointments that it seems rather rediculous that they have to pay to park the car to complete their hiring paperwork or training.

Hi! When heading east on Lemon toward/through Rural, the current striping puts people on bikes in conflict with people in cars. The right car lane is for both straight and right turns, putting it in conflict with the center bike lane (drivers drift left toward the bike lane and the two cross in the intersection). Is there anyway to clean this up?

Can it please be addressed that the parking spot lines in the Apache parking structure need to be re-painted clearly? Currently, the previous parking spot lines are still reflective and the current parking spot lines are fading. This is causing the cars to park in old marked parking spots and is causing parking to be off-centered and not all parking spaces to be properly spaced/filled. If the parking lines in this space can be re-painted clearly is appreciated.

It has been great to see some crosswalks repainted. If we could have Crosswalks repainted on College and University that would be an incredible asset to those that walk throughout campus daily due to their work.

Again, you are not listening to your students and faculty... the most valuable members of the University! I am FT faculty at ASU and the #1 complaint I hear from coworkers is about paying to park and not even at a discounted rate! It is cheaper to park at Heritage garage through the city than to pay through ASU. I will not be returning in the spring because of this, the pay is just not enough to justify paying to park as well. ASU has a huge problem with employee retention, I wonder why. The community colleges pay a lot better and their parking is free? As a resolution maybe you could let us know who we can actually approach about making impactful changes. This forum of complaints with a generic resolution of BS is obviously getting us no where.

I contacted parking and transit to ask about shuttles that run from campus to the further lots, like lot 59. I was told there were none and was not provided with any other ways to get to get into campus from the parking lot. ASU used to provide this for students and staff. It was called the Flash. We have excessive heat waves right now and we no longer offer this? They are supposed to walk in 117 degree weather to their car in lot 59?What happens if staff/students are injured (broke leg)? How are they supposed to get to and from the parking lot to their building? What if they become ill during the work day? What about pregnant staff or staff who have temporary medical conditions, like cancer? This seems like a real health concern and a real disservice to staff.

I am so completely frustrated with the parking situation in my area of campus. I work at Coor Hall. I have (and pay for) a Motorcycle surface parking permit.

The only nearby Motorcycle surface lot WAS in Lot 65, about a block away. Now, that lot is closed (for construction), so the next nearest Motorcycle surface parking is in Lot 15, which is unreasonably far away.

I sometimes choose to drive my car to work. I also occasionally have vendors or others come to visit me at work for business or other purposes. ALL VISITOR PARKING in the vicinity of Coor Hall has disappeared over the past several months. The 10th St/Myrtle Ave structure, which has visitor capabilities and space available, is restricted to Permit Only. The nearest visitor parking is now in the Gammage lot, which is an unreasonable walk in 110º+, especially given that there is a parking structure right next door with open spaces in it.

I know there is construction going on over here! It would be impossible to not notice! PTS making the situation WORSE by closing off visitor parking in the area is just silly.

PTS further sold me a Motorcycle surface permit that I intended to use in Lot 65, then closed that lot without notice or a reasonable replacement.

I have tried to address these issues with PTS directly. I was met with 'company speak' about options that aren't really acceptable, and promises that the new parking structure, currently under construction, will offer visitor spaces - some day. They failed to respond at all to the issue with the Motorcycle surface lot, and just clammed up when pressed further.

I don't know why PTS doesn't seem to ever do anything to improve their horrible customer service reputation when it comes to stuff like this, but my experience right now is that they don't care and aren't interested in explaining why things are the way they are, or doing anything to fix it.
