It is no secret that parking on George Mason campus has always been an issue.  Try finding a spot between noon and 4 pm and you are often out of luck.  While the University continues to expand, the limited availablitiy of parking seems to remain.  There seems to be no desire to expand general parking lots.  Instead, the University is focused on building parking garages that charge a premium amount to park.  To park in the recently constructed Rappahannack River parking deck for more than 5 hourse, students must pay $14, a rate that many cannot afford 3 times a week.

With the number of students enrolled at GMU on the rise, there seems to be no solution to the parking issue.  Many students may look to alternative ways to get to campus.  Some students also choose not to pay for parking and find other ways.  Regardless of your position, everyone can admite that parking on campus is an issue that requires some attention.
