Parking Management. Strategies, Evaluation and Planning <br /> Victoria Transport Policy Institute <br /> Parking Management Benefits <br /> • Facility cost savings. Reduces costs to governments,businesses,developers and consumers. <br /> • Improved quality of service. Many strategies improve user quality of service by providing better <br /> information,increasing consumer options,reducing congestion and creating more attractive <br /> facilities. <br /> • More flexible facility location and design. Parking management gives architects,designers and <br /> planners more ways to address parking requirements. <br /> • Revenue generation. Some management strategies generate revenues that can fund parking facilities, <br /> transportation improvements,or other important projects. <br /> • Reduces land consumption. Parking management can reduce land requirements and so helps to <br /> preserve greenspace and other valuable ecological,historic and cultural resources. <br /> • Supports mobility management. Parking management is an important component of efforts to <br /> encourage more efficient transportation patterns,which helps reduce problems such as traffic <br /> congestion,roadway costs,pollution emissions,energy consumption and traffic accidents. <br /> • Supports Smart Growth. Parking man4ement helps create more accessible and efficient land use <br /> patterns,and support other land use planning objectives. <br /> • Improved walkability. By allowing more clustered development and buildings located closer to <br /> sidewalks and streets,parking management helps create more walkable communities. <br /> • Supports transit. Parking management supports transit oriented development and transit use. <br /> • Reduced stormwater management costs, water pollution and heat island effects. Parking <br /> management can reduce total pavement area and incorporate design features such as landscaping and <br /> shading that reduce stormwater flow,water pollution and solar heat gain. <br /> • Supports equity objectives. Management strategies can reduce the need for parking subsidies, <br /> improve travel options for non-drivers,provide financial savings to lower-income households,and <br /> increase housing affordability. <br /> • More livable communities. Parking management can help create more attractive and efficient urban <br /> environments by reducing total paved areas,allowing more flexible building design,increasing <br /> walkability and improving parking facility design. <br /> This report describes various parking management strategies,how to evaluate these <br /> strategies and develop an integrated parking plan,plus examples and resources for more <br /> information. Most parking management strategies have been described in previous <br /> publications but no existing document describes them all or provides guidance on <br /> planning and implementing a comprehensive parking management program. This report <br /> summarizes the book Parking Management Best Practices,published by Planners Press <br /> in 2006. If you find this report useful,please purchase the book for more information. <br /> 3 <br />
