Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page paper. This paper is an extended version of PGprkga.RTF. In this version, there are six subheadings to correspond with the structure of a basic policy analysis problem. These sections are: verifying and defining the problem, establishing evaluation criteria for the solution, identifying alternative policies, assessing those alternatives, a matrix comparing each alternative to the criteria, recommendation and implementation of the new policies. The issue is parking spaces and a deficit in the school's budget, primarily because students and staff do not want to pay a daily rate on top of the annual permit price. 1 Table/Matrix included. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

of parking spaces. The new student parking decks constructed to alleviate the parking shortage is not used to capacity, thereby contributing to the budget deficit. The data reveal a
potential need for more than 16,000 parking spaces, for faculty, staff, students and for visitors and other persons. There are 4,000 resident students, 8,000 commuter students, 2,400 staff, and 1,600
faculty. The campus has fewer than 10,000 parking spaces available. However, there are at least 700 parking spaces in the new student center parking decks that are not used on
any given day. The problem then must be redefined to state: There are inadequate parking spaces for faculty and staff and overpriced parking spaces for students. There is also
a political and social problem. Students are parking illegally in residential areas surrounding the campus. This causes problems with the residents. At present, only about half the fines are actually
collected. Existing policy includes $100 for an annual parking permit, which allows the driver to park in different ground lots. To park in the new parking decks, there is
an additional charge of $1.50 per day. Students object to paying for a parking permit and also paying the daily rate, which was established to offset construction costs. The decks
cost $4,000 per parking space to construct. Ground parking lots cost $1,000 per space to construct. The mathematical model upon which this case would be based is nonlinear, probabilistic and
dynamic with distributed parameters. That means that the revenue from parking spaces includes multiple variables, randomness, changes through time, and parameters that are distributed by variables, such as population. The
final recommended policies must also incorporate intuition, experience and expert opinions. The short-term model is expressed as a question: How much does the university need to generate to meet
