For some students like Jaron Warner, parking tickets are a mild annoyance that happen once or twice a year.
For others like Claire Fossum, they are a near-constant reality. Fossum has received parking tickets at such a high frequency she felt necessary to start a petition in opposition to East Lansing and MSU's parking policies.
"The amount of tickets I've gotten in the past four years... is probably over like, 200... and they're always so expensive," Fossum said.
Warner said he'd like to change the parking system to be more lenient.
"(I'd) probably give people more places to park, honestly," Warner said. "I think that's kind of the biggest reason for tickets is that there's nowhere to park for people, they kinda just have to do it."
Fossum said she wants to lower parking rates as well as the amount of tickets issued as a whole.
"I don't really talk to any, like, city officials about it, but I'd like to, and see how much, how many signatures it would take or what we could do about it," Fossum said.
