Instead of hustling to class on what is largely a walking campus, we hop in the car to make it in time. But then, after acing the test and returning to our vehicles, a ticket awaits us. The day just got that much better.
Compound that with the Ohio University Board of Trustees voting to increase fines for parking citations from $20 to $30 for not displaying a permit, and student interests are still getting backed over.
Teresa Trussel, a parking services employee, did not return repeated calls seeking comment about the increase.
To combat this problem and lend a little advice, I researched the lots where students are least likely to get tickets, controlling for lots that were too far away from a classroom building.
This is in no way a full proof plan, but maybe it gets a person to class on time without a $30 price tag someday.
