Recommendation and Discussion:

From our data collecting, we agreed that university parking problems are worsening and lack
of adequate transit service is part of the cause. Participants also identified light rail as a
solution to reducing the number of vehicles on campus. We also agreed that regardless of
amount and adequacy of transit available, university-parking structures must change to meet
current and future demands. All participants sited Advanced Parking Management as a viable
alternative to help allocate parking. Even if parking information was not disseminated in real
time, they believed that having an operator at a central system that could identify supply in all
garages could help allocate parking. This causes students are more comfortable to drive their
own vehicle to university due to the lack of bus services provided.
Propose the Bicycle and Pedestrian infrastructure:
Bicycle commuters are looking for safe routes that minimize potential conflicts with vehicles.
This is true for pedestrians as well. Key improvements to roadways, sidewalks and
intersections can make both bicycle and walk commutes more attractive. Implementation of
campus and City of Bicycle Plans and on-going improvements to City bicycle streets
(including development of Class 1, 2 and 3 bike routes) over time will likely increase number
of bicycle commuters. The roads that border the Central Campus are particularly dangerous
for bicycle riders and the campus should advocate for and support improvements to those
roads. New and renovated buildings on the campus should provide shower and changing
facilities for bicycle commuters.
Propose the construction of new Parking Facilities:
However, if implementation of other strategies does not sufficiently reduce parking demand
to eliminate the projected parking shortage, the University may consider options for the
increase and placement of new parking supply. If that is the case, it is recommends targeting
Tasik G3 for addition of new parking. This is based on the strategies location that can provide
sufficient parking spaces to the students and lecturers. Tasik G3 was selected as the most
cost-effective of all the potential locations and in an optimal location, an area of campus with
relatively parking facilities and high parking demand.
Ride Share Incentive Programs:
Ride share incentive programs, provide various incentives to employees to use carpools or
vanpools. Incentives offered typically include an employer offered ride-matching service,
preferential parking locations for carpools or vanpools, reduced costs for carpool parking and
commuter rewards (i.e. drawings, gift certificates, etc.) for employees participating in
carpools and vanpools.

The alternatives that have been suggested are as follows:

i)

Improve the shuttle bus that provided by transporting students to main location
in the campus such as offices, library and lecture rooms.

ii)

Upgrade the amount of parking limits in college residential area.

iii)

Issuing parking coupons to students within lecture class rooms

iv)

Instruct patrons traffics observe parking lots from time to time to avoid
Motorists Park their motorcycle at the car parking spaces.

Conclusion:
The main focus of this predominantly case study based project was on the supply and demand
car-parking facilities for students in UTHM at Tasik G3. The objectives were to identify the
current parking supply in case study area and gave suggestions or recommendations to
solving the problem. The study consist parking inventory, parking usage survey using license
plate numbers method. From the result of current data, we had obtained parking demand
estimation by study and information from the administration data and parking space zoning
regulation and parking generation. Recommendations had been suggested according to the
result of demand parking facilities in the area from our findings. All faculty, staff and students
coming to university must experience campus transportation policy--whether they drive and
park, take transit, walk or ride bicycles. In facing the challenges associated with developing
and implementing better parking facilities demand, UTHM has the opportunity to improve
access to campus for its entire community and to advance sustainability goals for the campus
and region. Strategies outlined in this study support university and individual stewardship of
all our shared resources--parking, land, adjacent neighbourhoods and the wider environment.
