Parking

Resource-efficient parking that delivers

💡 Develop cost-efficient, effective facilities and programs to park motor vehicles as part of a wider approach to providing transportation choices and access

What local government officials can do

  • Eliminate requirements for developers to build minimum quantities of car parking
  • Price on-street car parking to a high enough level that an average of at least one space per block is always available, and incorporate related concepts from Donald Shoup’s “The High Cost of Free Parking”
  • Center parking for bicycles

What other leaders can do

  • Implement robust transportation demand management to strengthen and induce the use of walking, bicycling, and transit
  • Advocate for the above
