  • We are also working on creating a charitable foundation. The details are being worked out now. Thanks to Rose and Roger for ironing out details.
Previous Week's Speaker: Teresa Davis on parking at PSU

Teresa Davis gave a presentation on Penn State parking. She spoke about rate and space information and mentioned goals for relocation of spaces.
1. Implement strategy of intermodal transportation plan
2. Faculty and staff as close to destination as possible
3. Recover lost storage spaces for students
4. Two rate structure
5. Fair as possible

New parking decks are being constructed. An east deck is to be completed by fall 2004. Maps were shown illustrating where the new lots will be located for faculty and staff and students. There will be a new visitor parking permit and revised locations.

They have a Web site with good information about all this and more.
