That would be nice. If BU covered more of the ridiculously high commuter cost and daily parking at commuter stations, I would consider it.

The other kicker is there’s a limit on pretax deductions for transit. So no limit on how much BU pays but for the employee there’s a limit on how much your deduction for the pass and MBTA parking can be pretax.

I still think BU needs some sort of parking in this area. This parking lot is right next to Admissions. I know from back when I had my first campus tour and even during orientation I was so lost and didn’t know the lay of the land. If prospective families had to park several blocks from Admissions, I can see that being a hassle and putting a stain on their first impression.
