Presentation: CSU Multi-Purpose Stadium; Getting to and from the Game and Parking Fred Haberecht & Gary Ozzello CSU Staff presented how to get to and from events at the new stadium. CSU is looking at all transportation modes coming onto campus and leaving, where vehicles and bikes can park and the safest routes pedestrians can use. For vehicles, the campus will be divided into sectors to efficiently accommodate inbound and outbound traffic. These travel routes will be on College, Prospect, Laurel, Shields and Centre Ave. Only vehicles with a specific game day parking permits will be allowed to park in the main campus parking lots. The night before the games, resident hall vehicles will need to be re-parked. For incoming new students this information will be included in their packets. Transfort will provide shuttle service to and from the re-park lots and residents halls. Towing will be in effect with a cost that will encourage students to move their cars. 500 parking spaces will be identified for faculty and staff not participating in the stadium event. Non-football parking permits will be distributed for this. Ambassadors will be present to welcome people and answer questions. MAX will have sixteen buses operating, there are six buses normally. Shuttle services will also run. Campus West will have additional transit service that will drop off at the CSU Transit Center. Uber/Lyft will have a designated drop off and pick up location on the east side of campus. Tailgating will be allowed in only designated lots. On the west lawn of the LSC will have bands and people are allowed to bring in their own beer. Parking Advisory Board members still stands behind their recommendation they gave to Council regarding RP3 during stadium events. Members are relieved that there will be some nearby neighborhoods that will allow for parking. B.
