labeled at the front entrance to the
lot,” Stamm said.
And, if you happen to be a stu
dent who parks in a faculty/staff
lot, you may find a $20 ticket on
your windshield.
Parking tickets are quite com
mon on the University campus.
According to Stamm, The Office of
Public Safety gives out anywhere
from 25,000- 40,000 parking tickets
a year.
Citations run from $10 all the
way up to $300 for parking in a dis
abled spot.
“All of the money goes back into
public safety and enforcement,”
Stamm said. “So if you don’t buy a
permit and you get a ticket you are
basically paying for the enforce
ment giving you the ticket.”
Commuters who choose not to
pay the high prices for permits are •
encouraged to find alternative
ways to get to campus.
“There are always alternatives to
parking on campus,” Stamm said.

“We encourage people to carpool,
bike or walk ... we live in a tremen
dously alternative transportation
friendly city.”
One option students can take ad
vantage of is the Lane Transit Dis
trict bus system.
“Students pay $7 in their inci
dental fees which allows them to
ride the bus free on days, nights
and weekends when they show
their student body card,” Stamm
said.
Another possibility that will
hopefully help students get to cam
pus faster will be the new Bus
Rapid transit System from LTD.
“It is like light rail without the
rail,” Bus Rapid Transit Project En
gineer Graham Carey said. And at
a fraction of the cost.
The project has been under re
search for five and a half years and
if all goes well, will be up and run
ning in 2002.
The more advanced bus system
would employ a number of new
features like signal light priority,
and would also alleviate many traf
fic and parking dilemmas on cam
pus.
“It will have exclusive lanes
which will make it quicker and
more convenient to get downtown
and to the University area,” Carey
said. “The pilot model will run
from downtown Springfield to
downtown Eugene past Franklin
and 11th street.”
Fares for the new more direct
system are predicted to remain the
same as the current LTD prices.
