Facilities & Services Meets with Undergraduate Student Government to Discuss Parking and Transportation at Stony Brook
The Stony Brook University Facilities & Services team recently attended a weekly Undergraduate Student Government meeting to provide information about recent changes to parking and transportation
at Stony Brook, and to field concerns and comments from the group’s Senators, who
represent the entire undergraduate student body population at SBU.
Dean Tufts, Vice President for Facilities & Services, gave a presentation that summarized
the Parking & Transportation Department’s annual approach to parking allocations on
campus, along with the guiding principles that were foundational to this year’s parking
allotments for residential and commuter students. As part of the presentation, Dean
highlighted the recent gain of 45 parking spaces for resident students and 40 parking
spaces for commuter students that was achieved through focused utilization of each
and every single parking space available on campus. Active permit counts were also
shared, along with information about the numerous transportation options that exist
for the entire Seawolf community.
USG Senators were invited to bring questions and concerns with them to the meeting,
which were reviewed and answered. The group also provided suggestions for future transportation
initiatives including additional bicycle stations on campus, and utilizing scooters
to navigate from parking lots to classes and activities. The Parking & Transportation
team looks forward to exploring the ideas presented, and continuing to find ways to
satisfy the parking requirements for all students, faculty, staff and visitors at
the University.
