Green Campus?

I'm having hard time grasping this one: why parking services needed a brand new 8 passenger Suburban to cruise the parking lots in their never ending quest to issue parking tickets.

We don't have a very large campus, couldn't parking enforcement walk or bike? Likewise, couldn't a more fuel efficient vehicle be found in the campus fleet than an 8 passenger Suburban? I mean really, an 8 passenger, 4X4 SUV is needed to drive one parking enforcement guy around campus to issue tickets?

Someone please put a happy face on this story.

Our salaries are being cut and we say we are trying to have a sustainable, green campus but yet, we outfit a metermaid in a vehicle costing upwards of $40,000 and getting God knows what for fuel economy.

C'mon, please put a happy spin on this for me. Pretty please? I'm beggin!
