This report summarizes a study on parking problems at UiTM Shah Alam. There is limited parking space available on campus which causes issues. The study investigated transportation issues, alternatives students use for parking due to shortages, and implications of limited spaces. It found that most students are dissatisfied with parking. Due to shortages, students park illegally in areas not meant for parking. This leads to cars being fined or clamped, accidents, and students missing classes. The report recommends UiTM build more parking areas, improve public transportation, enhance the parking system, and restrict the number of student vehicles on campus.
