During winter. the number of available handicapped parking spots decreases dramatically. a phenomenon that usually coincides with an increase in skiing injuries. This can hardly be avoided. I can understand a temporary parking permit given to someone on cmtches or in a wheel chair. What I can't understand. however, is something I see a lot when I come to campus in the mornings. As a permanently handicapped person who cannot walk great distances, I try to park as close as pos sible to my building. Yet day after day, I find every handicapped spot on campus full, and more often than I'd like, I see the person who just parked there leaving-young, seemingly healthy people who gather up their backpacks and gym bags and jog off to class. latte in hand. What's wrong with that picture? I know. Not all disabilities are apparent to the naked eye; believe me, I know that one from experi ence. But I also know that not all the people who park in the handicapped spots on campus need to be th~re. When a young student can sprint from her Camaro across icy sidewalks and into the SUB from her handicapped spot, I catch a whiff of abuse. Most of this abuse is hard to spot. The parking police can only do so much. They can sometimes fHE EXPONENT find the expired temporary permits and some of the fake ones, but unless they see someone bounding away from his vehicle, there is nothing they can do. There are just too many parking spots to check CALL 994-2206 OR EMAIL and no central registration for all the handicapped parkers on campus. On top of that, the university recognizes many kinds of permits. There are the custom license plates, the blue state-issued hang [email protected] tags, the blue stickers on some rear bumpers. the red state-issued temporary hang tags, the out-of state hang tags (who knows whether they're genuine or downloaded from the Web), and the univer sity-issued hang tags (the blue paper ones that are so easy to counterfeit). In addition, the university requires that we hang their parking permit in front of our handicapped • tags, obscuring the expiration date for the temporary permits; so the parking enforcement officers cannot tell who's legal and who's expired or fake. l11ese factors combine to make a system that is embarrassingly easy to fool and hard to enforce. I would be interested to know how many S 100 handicapped parking violations the university issues in a year. - Here is what I ask: ' To those of you with temporary tags: Please stop using them when you've recovered. Some of those tags are good for more than a year, and sometimes they expire long after you've healed. Please don't use them if you don't need them anymore. To the university: Please review your handicapped parking policies. Is there a way MSU can-register all the handicapped parking permits used on campus without violating federals regulations? ls there an easier way to spot the counterfeits? To you unscrupulous cheaters out there who use your grandparents' tags or print your own at home: Be ashamed of yourselves! You rob genuinely handicapped people of the ability to park close enough to get to work or school. How on earth can you think this is okay? _ To everyone else: Report abusers as you see them. Don't wait. Pull out your cell phone and dial 994-2121 and tell the university police what you just saw. If we work together, we can stop the abuse.
