This document discusses parking issues at Hofstra University and proposes solutions. It notes that the commuter parking lots are often full, leaving students like Steven struggling to find spots and running late for class. The university does not properly calculate parking space ratios. Most commuting students drive alone. The document suggests developing a mobile app that uses drones to locate open spots and encourages carpooling by grouping students with similar routes and schedules. Rewards would be offered to incentivize carpooling. The app would help address the parking issue and get students to work together for positive change.
