Commuter and residential parking passes rose from $200 to $210 and $300 $ 250 to $325, respectively, for the 2018-19 school year. That’s a cost increase of 5 percent for commuter passes and just over $ 200 8 percent for residential passes from the previous year. “I personally think that’s way too $150 much,” freshman graphic design major Lauren Taylor said. “Having a car on cam- pus isn’t a necessity, but it is very helpful to have for off-campus extracurricular $100 activities, grocery runs and travel to and from home.” Money made from passes this year will be used for transportation improvements, $ 50 according to Ole Miss Director of Parking and Transportation Mike Harris. Harris said the price increase in 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 parking passes will go towards “purchas- ing new buses for various routes on- and off-campus and adding additional routes COMMUTER = to service the new Recreational Facility and South Oxford Center.” GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION: ETHEL MWEDZIWENDIRA RESIDENTIAL = INFORMATION COURTESY: OLE MISS PARKING SERVICES SEE PERMIT PRICES PAGE 3 Athletics offers monetized tailgating experience
