god i wish i could rate them 0 stars. the only thing they re good at is writing parking citations. how do you OVERSELL the lots that are meant for the people living in the dorms??? it s unreasonable for me to pay $250 to park in a commuter lot because you greedy imbeciles can t plan anything.

They don't care about student workers regardless if you were in training and had no idea you needed a pass for 3 days of summer. Also no warnings just a citation right off the start so buy a pass before you get ticketed because you have to pay your citation before you can buy a pass and then they wo...

I was given a citation for "parking in R19" outside of Stangel, but I actually parked in 30 minute parking for only a couple minutes. I went back to take a photo of the same spot and appealed the citation and haven't heard back from them.

Techs way of pumping more income out of 100,000 dollar in debt students that are late to class from time to time and have to park on campus. An established way to prove $25 per ticket is more important than our groceries so we can eat that week and need our vehicle so we don t lose our jobs so we ca...

Easily the most corrupt and money hungry organization in Lubbock. I now have to rinse out my eyes with bleach every time I see a white Toyota Tacoma. Considering Texas Tech University has one of the largest campuses in the nation, Transportation Services should do more to cater to student transporta...

Absolutely horrible. They ticket people all the time that have passes, my friend got a boot on his car and he was paying for a pass, another one got tickets for his new car and they tried to make him pay for them even though he had a pass. It s ridiculous that you have to pay to park to go to work.

Instructors on campus each PAY hundreds of dollars yearly so they can ensure they can park to teach classes for students on time. Each student in class is paying for their seat in each class. During some parts of the year there are students who take the designated spots instructors pay for and pote...

For being a campus that advertises itself as one of the largest, there is a severe lack of parking lots or facilities otherwise designed to get students to school. Additionally, after parking permits had been purchased, we come to find out 2 major parking lots are closed for construction (which isn'...

Texas Tech Parking Services logic: "Let's charge students outrageous amounts of money for parking passes to a certain lot, oversell that lot, and then give them tickets when they can't park in their lot to make even more money."

If you polled TTU students at random, you'd probably find that TTU Parking has a lower approval rating than the US Congress. Instead of having designated covered garages on campus, parking is limited to the space between buildings, which is not enough in the heart of the main campus. Parking staff a...

Have heart problems and a handicap placard and all documentations and permits to park on campus and they tow my car. Had to walk over a mile and pay two hundred bucks to get it back. They could've killed me, but do they care? Definitely not. If I didn't have to deal with these jerks, I wouldn't.

Will not admit to personal failures and takes advantage of the horrible layout of campus. Students are forced to pay fines for parking that should be free or you are paying the campus $100 s each semester to park where you already deserve to be.

Unfortunately, if I could give TTU parking zero stars I would. They are usually understanding, but in this situation I was given a citation for parking illegally when I was still in my car. You cannot stop for a moment on campus!

Giving one star is being more than generous, and I would give 0 if I could. The entire staff is incredibly rude to students for no reason. Parking services is a disgrace to the Texas Tech campus. None of the staff is on the same page about the rules, so if you talk to one person one day do NOT liste...

They're super hostile on the phone when you try to get clarification about a citation. You get 1 warning for however long you stay at tech so better save it. Also there's a reason no one likes parking at tech so get ready to find yours when you get your citation

The people who work here have a tough and thankless job -- especially around midterms and finals, when people are constantly parking in lots they don't have permits for. If they're not always cheerful, I think none of us can blame them (although they've always been polite with me). They have their p...
