Making it Easier to Find Parking

OUR PERFORMANCE-BASED APPROACH TO PARKING MANAGEMENT

People often drive to get around in Seattle. For trips made by car, it is crucial that the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) makes it easy to quickly find a parking space. This reduces how much time drivers spend circling for parking, which provides other important benefits:

• Reduces congestion – Drivers circling for parking contribute to congestion.

• Speeds transit – Less congestion means faster, more reliable public transit.

• Decreases greenhouse gas emissions – Less circling means fewer emissions.

• Saves people time – Time spent looking for parking is wasteful.

• Improves safety for pedestrians and cyclists – Drivers circling for parking are often distracted drivers.

• Enhances access – People can more reliably park close to their destination.

• Improves neighborhood commercial vitality – People can more reliably access commercial, retail areas.

Making it easy to find parking doesn’t mean more driving – more parking supply means more driving. Knowing there is a large amount of parking encourages driving. We are simply trying to do a good job of managing our limited supply of existing parking so that the transportation system works better for everyone, even those who never drive.

To manage demand for our finite parking supply as effectively as possible, we use a data-driven approach to find the lowest hourly rate that leaves at least one or two parking spaces available on every blockface throughout the day. This data also helps us evaluate expanding paid parking to improve access.

Our process is straightforward. Every year we gather parking occupancy data on every paid block to adjust rates by neighborhood and time of day. We generally lower rates in areas and at times of day where there are few cars parked and more than two spaces available on a blockface. Conversely, we generally increase the rates in areas and at times of day where there are many cars parked and fewer than one or two spaces available on a blockface. In areas and at times of day where there are generally one to two available spaces on a blockface, we consider the area and time period to be in target.

OUR PAID PARKING MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE

on average, is on-street parking well-utilized and are drivers able to find a parking space. This chart shows for all the paid parking areas, the average occupancy from the 2017, 2018, and the 2019 Annual Paid Parking Studies. This presents the average over the day so hides the peaks and valleys that may be present – which is why SDOT sets rates by morning, afternoon and evening data. For the most part, on average over the day, paid areas are in or near the target range of one to two available spaces on a blockface. There are some areas that stand out for lower occupancy – namely Ballard Locks in the winter. SDOT adjusts rates seasonally there because of the significant difference between summer and winter parking activity.

The data we gather allows us to monitor how well we are achieving our goal of making it easy to quickly find a parking space. It also helps us determine when and where we use paid parking as part of our curbspace management toolkit. City policy, as specified in the Seattle Municipal Code, is that rates and hours of operation are set such that one to two spaces per block are open and available throughout the day. Since 2011, SDOT has made over 300 different rate and hours of operations changes. We have made as many rate decreases as increases, all based on the annual parking study data results.

The bottom-line measure of our performance is the average level of use and availability. In other words,

OUR DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH

Occupancy is the percent of publicly available on-street paid parking spaces that are occupied by a vehicle. The number of possible parking spaces on each block takes into account parking restrictions near intersections, driveways, and fire hydrants. Occupancy can be over 100% as vehicles sometimes park close together or partially in illegal areas.

This report summarizes the spring 2019 data we used to recommend parking management changes. All data sets are available on data.seattle.gov under “Annual Parking Study Data,” with data sets available back to the 2014 Annual Study.

DATA COLLECTIONEvery spring we collect occupancy data on every block of Seattle’s 34 paid parking areas over the entire day from 8 am until two hours after paid parking ends in that neighborhood (paid parking ends at 8 pm in most areas).

We collect data on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday (avoiding holidays and major events) to represent typical parking conditions.

Executive Summary

SDOT collects data annually and analyzes occupancy by paid parking area or subarea. Including different rates at the Ballard Locks during the summer, there are 34 paid parking subareas as of Spring 2018. These areas contain in total about 12,000 on-street paid parking spaces. Occupancy and rates are evaluated over three time of day periods: morning, afternoon, and evening.

DATA AND PRICING

Parking occupancy is determined to be in “target range” when parking is 70% to 85% occupied. In areas where parking is above or below target, SDOT generally adjusts the rate by $0.50 increments within a rate range between $0.50 an hour and $5.00 an hour. Areas within 5% above or below target range are placed on the “watch list” with rate changes deferred for one year.

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) uses parking occupancy data to establish and adjust on-street parking rates and hours of operations through its Performance-Based Parking Pricing Program, which was created in 2010. Guided by language in the Seattle Municipal Code, the program uses the principles of supply and demand with a goal that drivers can reliably find short-term parking near their destinations. This helps reduce the frequency of circling or “cruising” for parking, and the associated congestion and

2019 PAID PARKING STUDY REPORT | 5

HOW WE ADJUST RATESSeattle’s areas with paid parking total about 11,500 spaces and range in size between 50 spaces in a smaller area to over 1,000 spaces in others. Since 2015, SDOT has adjusted rates by the time of day to account for different demands:

• Morning 8 am – 11 am• Afternoon 11 am to 5 pm/6 pm • Evening 5 pm to 8 pm/10 pm

Our target occupancy is between 70% and 85% for each time period in each area. That means we set rates to achieve a performance goal of one or two spaces being open and available per block throughout the day. For each area time period, we use the following rules to adjust rates:

• If occupancy is over 85%, increase rate by $0.50/hour

• If occupancy is between 70% and 85%, rates do not change

• If occupancy is below 70%, decrease rate by $0.50/hour

Rates cannot go below $0.50/hour or above $5.00/hour (as currently defined in the Seattle Municipal Code).

WHEN TO USE PRICINGManaging curbspace with paid parking helps to create availability in high-demand commercial areas. Over time, following the same data-driven approach, SDOT has been extending parking hours later into the evening in some areas to better ensure reliable access and open spaces for when people visit restaurants, theaters, shops, and other attractions at night. This is consistent with the policy guidance in the Seattle Municipal Code.

To evaluate when it may make sense to extend paid parking hours, we gather data for two hours after paid parking currently ends. In the example below, the discussion is about whether to extend paid parking from 8 pm when it currently ends

to 10 pm. Data from both this year’s 2019 study, as well as last year’s 2018 study, found that for those two hours, parking occupancy exceeds 85% in the Ballard Core, Green Lake, Fremont, and the Chinatown ID Core areas. These data results suggest that paid hours be extended from 8 pm to 10 pm to improve customer access. SDOT is considering this change in 2020-21 and will engage these communities directly as part of making this decision. An important part of this discussion is how employees who work late shifts continue to have access to and from work, given that they travel at times when transit may not be as frequent as it is during the daytime.

WHERE TO USE PRICINGIn some areas, we also gather occupancy data on blocks adjacent to currently paid areas to see where expanding time limits and/or paid parking can improve customer availability and access for those commercial areas. Our goal is to manage the limited supply of existing parking so that customers and visitors can easily and reliably access commercial areas. Circling to find parking is frustrating, time consuming, and further adds to congestion.

In 2018 and 2019, SDOT collected data on adjacent streets in the Ballard, Fremont, and Green Lake areas. The data suggest that each area would benefit from expanding where paid parking is used to provide more reliable customer access. SDOT is considering this change for 2020-21 and will engage these communities directly as part of making this decision.
