Potential impact on P&S employees:

The Council's primary function is to serve as a channel for the expression of user-group opinions and preferences on matters pertaining to the movement of people and vehicles to, from, and around campus. The Council considers issues submitted to it from outside, initiates studies, and develop policy recommendations on transportation for the central administration. These shall include but are not limited to parking, streets, traffic signals, public transportation, bikeways, and facilities for commuters, pedestrian walkways, and traffic safety. The Council recommends changes to annual parking rates, fines and fees associated with parking tickets and revisions to the Parking Division Rules and Regulations Manual.
