Using the policy analysis to examine the problem

The problem in this case is to review the parking problem at selected Universities. Annualized parking rates vary from across universities. Most universities charge not only students but staff and faculty monthly for parking per month

Step 4: Assess alternative policies

Variable Pricing Structure- This policy is effective in managing demand for parking spaces.

Shuttle Services and Off-Campus Parking- Introducing shuttle services or off-campus parking can significantly reduce the strain on the existing parking infrastructure.

Flexible Permit Options- Offering flexible permit options such as daily, weekly, or monthly permits can cater to the diverse needs of students, staff, and faculty.

Priority Parking Allocation- Implementing priority parking allocation for specific groups such as faculty or staff can ensure that key stakeholders have convenient access to parking spaces.

Sustainable Transportation Incentives- Providing incentives for using sustainable transportation options such as bicycles, electric vehicles, or carpooling can promote ecofriendly commuting and reduce parking demand.

Step 5: Display and distinguish among alternatives Step 6: Implement, monitor, and evaluate the policy
