INTRODUCTION
Parking on UCSD campus is
difficult for students
Convenient “S” spots are far
and few in between
Carpooling can alleviate the
stress of parking

CARPOOLDIFFICULTIES
CURRENT SITUATION
CURRENT SITUATION
“NO. hard to find
someone in my
neighborhood “
“Carpool is appealing only if there were actually
enough parking spots on campus.”
“not with the pass since the criteria is a
bit difficult to fulfill. It is pretty difficult to
have 3 people with similar schedules
and it has to be reapplied for every
quarter”
“Yes, i live in a house with no car drives
except for me. So when i go to school i
usually carpool already. “
“Maybe. Depending on the
price and availability of
parking.”
“Yes because parking is such a pain.”
“Yes it would be, but only if
there are a good chunk of
spots that are close to
campus as I know S spots are
quite limited near campus
and abundant in areas that
are further away like the
regent parking lot. “
“Yes, save on gas and money and time.”“It's difficult to find people
with the same schedule.
And speaking from
experience, splitting gas, etc.
is also a pain.”
“Yes, because I
would have access
to parking spots
specifically reserved
for carpool pass
holders, rather than
having to fight with
everyone else for a
parking spot. “
“Yes, because buses can only
do so much during rush hour”
“No, it feels a bit awkward riding with strangers.”
