Parking pains

Right now, TU/e campus has 2,153 parking spaces, 1,900 to 2,100 of which are used during peak hours. Two years from now, after several major construction projects, 1,676 spaces will be left

Of 3,300 TU/e employees 600 to 700 come to work by car every day. 50 percent of them lives less than 7 kilometers from university grounds. Administration and maintenance for a single parking space in the parking garage university plans to build in the years to  come is 120 euro a month. That's 4 times as much as the costs for a parking space on ground level. However, the city won't allow more parking spaces on ground level. From March 1, departments and services  will be paying 7.50 euro out of their own pockets whenever they want to provide guests with an exit ticket. It's discouragement policy: the regular rate for parking on campus is 5 euro.
