• Goal: Enhance access and affordability for students

At San Jose State University (SJSU), parking demand exceeds supply by 50%, with 15,000 daily commuters competing for only 8,000 spots, leading to high costs averaging $500 per semester. This shortage causes tardiness, increased student stress, and reduced academic engagement.

Problem Overview

• Limited parking spots: Demand exceeds supply by 50% at SJSU.
• High costs burden students, averaging $500 per semester.
• Leads to tardiness, heightened stress, and reduced engagement.
• Statistics: 15,000 daily commuters vs. 8,000 available spaces.

The slide highlights how parking issues impact students, with 70% reporting effects on class attendance due to access problems. It also notes an average $500 financial burden per semester for parking costs and a 40% decrease in well-being linked to related stress.
