How Ohio University Off Campus Parking Could Save Residents and Students Nearly a Million Dollars a Year

The statistics say it all. There were literally 22,000 parking tickets distributed by Athens parking enforcement authorities in 2013 alone. That yielded $900,000 in revenue, nearly a million dollars. Parking tickets are nearly making millionaires out of city officials, literally. If you plan on having your own car at Ohio University, you need your own off campus parking space just as much as you’ll need insurance or gas money. It’s a simple cost of having a car in Athens. Rent a space, or pay the city in obnoxious parking fees. It’s your choice.
