From the Paper:
"In colleges that have inadequate parking facilities and little or no land for expansion may seek to introduce parking management programs. This solution can be implemented through introduction of parking fees (Brookline TAB, 2000) on all vehicles accessing the college. Besides the fee, regulations may be put in place to control parking behaviors and to prevent indiscriminate parking. This would serve as a disincentive to the college community who use private transport to school. This approach would carry some benefits such as reducing the need for additional parking practices and improved convenience for the parking users (Litman, 2006).However, the respondents who participated in the interview on the subject were not in favor of this approach. They posited that introduction of parking management would make parking expensive and unaffordable to most in the college population. Further, they perceived this move as discriminatory as only student from wealthy backgrounds would afford to pay the inflated parking fees."
