Suggestions

Illegal Spots

Restrict on-campus resident Freshman from having cars

Less overnight parking

More spots available in the morning for commuters

Ease congestion with other mid-day parking

More spots available as a whole

Does Florida State University need additional

student parking?

Additional parking is not NEEDED,

but it would help - drastically.
