The "Hunt Is Over" online permit registration initiative, led by Peter W. Lange from Texas A&M University Transportation Services, utilized diverse communication tools to achieve impressive results. With a marketing budget of $11,000, strategies included radio and TV ads, print signage, and direct mail postcards, resulting in 33,250 parking permits registered—an increase from the prior system's 20,000 auto-renewals. Faculty and staff registration reached 90%, surpassing expectations despite a delayed start. The campaign effectively engaged over 22,200 new student registrations during the rollout.
