It's not all about nailing students with tickets in the world of
Miami University parking.

Assistant Director of Parking and Transportation Services Vanessa Cummings would argue instead that, "we're here to help you."

Cummings said that's the office's priority, and changes throughout the year will help cut costs and better serve students. The office has to balance a budget of its own, separate from the university. Among the changes are tweaking Miami Metro routes and times and the implementation of a new software. The Metro routes are set to change as soon as spring semester, and the new software should launch in late November or early December.
