This report summarizes the book, Parking Management Best <br /> Practices(Planners Press, 2006), which describes and evaluates more than two-dozen <br /> such strategies. It investigates problems with current parking planning practices, <br /> discusses the costs of parking facilities and the savings that can result from improved <br /> management, describes specific parking management strategies and how they can be <br /> implemented, discusses parking management planning and evaluation, and describes <br /> how to develop the optimal parking management program in a particular situation. Cost- <br /> effective parking management programs can usually reduce parking requirements by 20- <br /> 40% compared with conventional planning requirements, providing many economic, <br /> social and environmental benefits. <br /> An shorter version of this paper was presented at the <br /> Transportation Research Board 2007 Annual Meeting(www.trb.org) <br /> Paper 07-1581 <br /> Todd Alexander Litman®2006 <br /> You are welcome and encouraged to copy,distribute,share and excerpt this document and its ideas,provided the <br /> author is given attribution.Please send your corrections,comments and suggestions for improving it: <br />
