Parking management refers to various policies and programs that result in more efficient
use of parking resources. This report summarizes the book, Parking Management Best
Practices (Planners Press, 2006), which describes and evaluates more than two-dozen
such strategies. It investigates problems with current parking planning, discusses the
costs of parking facilities and potential savings from improved management, describes
specific parking management strategies and how they can be implemented, discusses
planning and evaluation issues, and describes how to develop optimal parking
management in a particular situation. Cost-effective parking management programs can
usually reduce parking requirements by 20-40% compared with conventional planning
requirements, providing many economic, social and environmental benefits.
