ATTENDING CLASS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO IS GETTING HARDER FOR STUDENTS THANKS TO A SHRINKING NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES. UNM HAS ABOUT 13-THOUSAND PARKING SPOTS. BUT THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS IT NOW HAS 50 THOUSAND DRIVERS ON CAMPUS.
THE JOURNAL SAYS 53-THOUSAND TICKETS WERE ISSUED BY UNM’S PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DURING THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR. AND IT SAYS THAT’S DOWN BY 2-THOUSAND TICKETS ISSUED THE YEAR BEFORE.
UNM USES PARKING TICKET REVENUE TO PAY FOR FUEL COSTS, BASIC UPKEEP, TO MAINTAIN SHUTTLES AND FIX PARKING LOTS AND STRUCTURES.
