The Parking Ecosystem is Unbalanced

Curbside parking isoversubscribed Lack of available parking

contributes to congestion

Double parking createsadditional issues The agony associated with

parking has negative effects

A Smart Approach to Parking

6

Rebalance supply and demand:

Push parkers to underutilized spaces (i.e., on-street & offstreet lots)

Provide better parking information Encourage higher turnover Encourage use of other modes

This will be accomplished through:

Demand-based pricing (not a new concept!)

Leveraging technological advances Expanding upon a growing knowledge base


7/26

Demand-Based Pricing is Not a New Concept

7

[Parking should be kept] at a [price] level sodetermined as to keep the amount of parkingdown sufficiently so that there will almost

always be space available for those willing topay the fee
