Parking on campus is convienent,but could be costly
CAMPUS
BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com
The slush-covered Mt. Oread looms in the distance as cold and tired students trudge through the snow, wishing they could drive on campus.
Standing in the way of this wish campus are information booths, like guard towers, strategically placed in the middle of the road to protect campus from the excessive use of vehicles.
"It's primarily a safety issue and a congestion issue," Callle Long, business manager for KU Parking and Transit, said. "We have so many people, particularly between classes, walking on campus that it would be difficult for vehicles to get anywhere."
KU employees man each information booth and are also repson-sible for determining which cars will be allowed access to Jayhawk Boulevard. If it's between 7:45 a.m. and 5 p.m. on a weekday, there's no getting past the guards without a special pass. But how do you get your hands on such a pass?
"It's primarily a safety issue and a congestion issue."
Long said there are different permits allowing people to drive on campus. These permits are explained below.
1. GOLD PERMIT
This one is basically akin to Willy Wonka's golden ticket. It opens nearly all spots on and around campus and allows access to campus at anytime.

for KU Parking and Transit
If you a professor or student, don't expect to have an easy time acquiring one of these permits. According to the KU Parking and Transit website, gold permits are
available only to employees who have "a combined age and years of service to the University of 70, and also work in a building that is within the central core of campus. These
permits are valid in gold, blue, red, yellow, Park & Ride, and University Housing zones, except at Alumni Place (scholarship halls)."
Long did say that golden tickets are on rare occasions granted to students.
"It has to be some sort of really
out of the ordinary situation" she said.
Students have to lobby for the permit in front of the parking commission. The student body president, for example, possesses a gold permit, which costs $285 a year.
2. RETIREE PERMIT
3. REGISTERED HANDICAP PLACARD
KU Parking and Transit employees in information booths make sure that no one gets on campus, unless they have a proper permit.
A former university employee who has retired can purchase a permit for $75 a year or $45 a semester, which allows them to drive and park on campus.
A person with a handicap placard can register with KU parking and transit. After they register, they are given a registration sticker to display in their vehicle. This sticker grants driving access to campus as well as access to handicap parking spots on campus. Registration is free.

4. MEDICAL PERMIT
KU Parking and Transit can issue a short-term medical parking permit for students who have a medical condition making close parking necessary. Students must have a doctor's notice on a prescription pad or letterhead explaining the medical condition. The condition must be short term, lasting for 1-3 weeks. According to the parking
and transit website "A medical permit costs $10 per week in gold zones regardless of what type of parking permit you have now."
Vehicles belonging to KU service employees who need to be on campus, as well as private contractors working on campus, will receive a service/construction permit allowing them to drive on campus. Each permit costs $300 for one year.
