Student Perceptions of Parking
Parking is a major concern on college campuses. With two-thirds of the students who responded to the survey having parking permits (Figure 19), we asked students questions pertaining to affordability and convenience of parking at Concordia as well as the possibility of using MAT to resolve parking problems.
Figure 19. Students with Parking Permits (n=195)
The highest number of parking permits issued on the Concordia campus was for the C, FP, IC, BG, and B lots (Figure 20).
Figure 20. Parking Lots Used by Survey Respondents (n=237)
Concordia student respondents indicated they are not pleased with on-campus parking convenience (Figure 21). Nearly 39 percent (76) of student respondents rate Concordia's parking convenience as either poor or very poor, while approximately 5 percent (10) indicated that the parking convenience was very good. The proportion of poor and very poor responses was greater than the proportion of good and very good responses.

When asked about parking affordability, students indicated they were very pleased (Figure 22). Respondents indicated that approximately 47 percent (92) felt parking affordability was very good. With fewer than 2 percent (3) of respondents indicating parking affordability was either poor or very poor.
