i <br /> Parking Management,Strategies, Evaluation and Planning <br /> Victoria Transport Policy Institute <br /> c <br /> Parking Management Strategies <br /> This section describes a variety of specific parking management strategies.For more information <br /> see Litman(2006u)and related chapters in VTPI(2005). <br /> Shared Parking <br /> Shared Parking means that a parking facility serves multiple users or destinations z <br /> ("Shared Parking,"VTPI, 2005). This is most successful if destinations have different r <br /> peak periods,or if they share patrons so motorists park at one facility and walk to <br /> multiple destinations. Parking facilities can be shared in several ways. <br /> • Shared Rather Than Reserved Spaces.Motorists share parking spaces,rather than being <br /> assigned a reserved space.For example, 100 employees can usually share 60-$0 parking <br /> spaces,since at any particular time some are on leave,commuting by an alternative mode,in <br /> the field,or working another shift.Hotels,apartments,condominiums and dormitories can <br /> share parking spaces among several units,since the number of vehicles per unit varies over <br /> time. Sharing can be optional,so for example,motorists could choose between$60 per month <br /> for a shared space or$100 for a reserved space. j <br /> • Share Parking Among Destinations. Parking can be shared among multiple destinations.For <br /> example,an office building can share parking with a restaurant or theater, since peak demand <br /> for offices occurs during weekdays,and on weekend evenings for restaurants and theaters,as <br /> indicated in Table 2. Sharing can involve mixing land uses on single site,such as a mall or <br /> campus,or by creating a sharing arrangement between sites located suitably close together. <br /> Table 2 Typical Peak Pa ing Periods For Various Land Uses <br /> Weekday Evening Weekend <br /> Banks and public services Auditoriums Religious institutions <br /> Offices and other employment centers Bars and dance halls Parks <br /> Park&Ride facilities Meeting halls Shops and malls <br /> Schools,daycare centers and colleges Restaurants <br /> Factories and distribution centers Theaters <br /> Medical clinics Hotels <br /> Professional services <br /> This table indicates peak parking demand for different land use types.Parking can be shared <br /> efficiently by land uses with different peaks. <br /> • Public Parking Facilities. Public parking,including on-street,municipal off-street,and <br /> commercial(for profit)facilities generally serve multiple destinations. Converting from free, <br /> single-use to paid,public parking allows more efficient,shared use. <br /> • In Lieu Fees. "In lieu fees"mean that developers help fund public parking facilities instead of <br /> providing private facilities serving a single destination.This tends to be more cost effective <br /> and efficient.It can be mandated or optional <br /> 12 <br />
