As Cal Poly’s numbers have grown, so has the demand for parking. There is, however, only so much space available at the university. This situation begs the question what a better use of space is. Is it best used for parking or for furthering the academic mission of the university? The other important consideration is what’s better for the environment and the health of the community. After a year of research and collaboration across campus, the answer came in a new set of transportation and parking policies. They include limiting freshmen from having cars on campus.
With this new policy, incoming Mustangs may wonder how they are going to get around. Their parents and supporters may worry how their students will get home during academic breaks. Below is a variety of suggestions pulled from Cal Poly SLO Mustang Parents Facebook page to put those concerns aside.
Bike
Train
Rideshare
Zip Car
Bus
