600 tickets per week issued in commuter lots

ULMPD writes about 600 parking tickets each week to students who break the parking rules, according to Captain Kenny Robideaux.
The most common offenses include: parking in a faculty spot, displaying an expired parking decal and not having a decal.
The fee for parking in a faculty or staff space is $15. For expired or absent decals and parking in a “no parking” zone, the fee is $10.
R o b i d e a u x advises ULM students to arrive on campus early for classes, to stay away from red curbs, which signify
faculty and staff, and to avoid parking in handicapped spaces and other residence halls.
“There is plenty of parking. It’s just not convenient,” said Robideaux. “Residents have to leave their vehicle parked at their residence unless attending a night class.”
Katie Ross, a junior dental hygiene  major from Centerton, Ark., said often times, people make the choice to
get a ticket.
“People are too lazy to stick with the commuter lots. They don’t take the time to walk and would rather
risk a ticket than park far away,” Ross said.
