The opportunity I have selected regards parking at the University of Florida for undergraduate students living off-campus. The issue lies in the fact that parking for said students is limited to two parking zones located roughly two miles from most educational buildings on campus.
In order to satisfy this need, parking garages can be built and/or current parking lots can be expanded. Moreover, "Park and Ride" decals can be offered for a lower amount, rather than the standard $80 fee of parking decals. In terms of expanding parking areas for undergraduate students living off-campus, an example would be elevating and transforming the Commuter Lot a multi-level parking garage. In terms of parking decal fees, the "Park and Ride" decal can be lowered to roughly $50, thus making it more likely said students invest in parking.

As a student that lives 7.5 miles from campus, I think that this is a great idea. I am from Gainesville, and I live at home, so I commute with my mom to campus every day. She is able to have an orange decal, but some days I need to drive myself if our schedules do not match up, and I end up having to pay to park at the Reitz. I do not want a Park and Ride decal because it is too expensive for what you get - it's not convenient at all. I would love it if undergrads had the opportunity to park in a somewhat convenient location.
