There are more student drivers than there are parking passes. Parking passes are limited so students are rushing to fill out the form for a parking pass. Underclassmen who don’t have their license yet are even trying to get the parking pass so that is causing frustration from upperclassmen.
The new law of being able to get a permit at 15 is only going to make it worse. The number of student drivers is already over the amount of parking passes and now the number of student drivers is going to increase a lot.
People have been asking “why can’t we get more parking passes”?
“We only have 290 parking spots,” said Principal Diaz, “and we can’t have more parking passes than we do parking spots.”
Students with parking passes are getting to school and can’t find a parking spot because people without parking passes are in the parking spots. This causes frustration from the student drivers with parking passes because they paid.
Some students don’t want to pay for a parking pass or don’t want to put it on their car.
“It is unfair if some students park without one while others have paid,” said Lila Toponak. “It shouldn’t be mandatory, but students shouldn’t be allowed to park on campus without one.”
There have been problems with people complaining about not knowing how to get a parking pass or they can’t get a parking pass. If you don’t fill out the parking pass application early on then it is on you if you can’t get one.
“I just got approved for a parking pass and will get it within the next week,” said Lila Toponak. “I got it by filling out the form online.”
Lastly, since parking passes are so limited along with the new law it is on you to get a parking pass by filling out the application early on!
