Seven Parking Strategies 1. Charge the Right Price for Curb Parking 2. Return Meter Revenue to the Neighborhoods 3. Invest Parking Revenues in Better Transit 4. Universal Transit Passes 5. Unbundle Parking Costs 6. Share Parking 7. Remove or Reduce Minimum Parking Requirements

1. Charge the right price for curb parking. 2. Return the resulting revenue to the neighborhoods that generate it.

What is the Right Price? Performance-based Pricing Charge the lowest price that will leave one or two vacant spaces on each block Eliminate the traffic congestion caused by drivers cruising for parking

Tools: Parking Benefit Districts Devote meter & permit revenue to district where funds raised Example: Old Pasadena Meters installed in 1993: $1/hour Garage fees Revenue: $5.4 million annually Tiny in-lieu of parking fees Funds garages, street furniture, trees, lighting, marketing, mounted police, daily street sweeping & steam cleaning Focus on availability, not price Old Pasadena,1992-99: Sales Tax Revenues Quadruple

Ventura Parking Benefit District Boundaries Commercial Parking Benefit District Source of Base Map: April 2003 Katz, Okitsu and Associates Parking Study

Residential Parking Benefit Districts Implement in areas next to commercial zones, as needed One Version: Residents park free or cheaply Limit permits issued to available curb space Sell excess space to nonresidents Payment method: In-vehicle meters or pay stations Residents decide how to spend revenue Examples: Santa Cruz, CA West Hollywood, CA Austin, TX Boulder, CO

3. Invest a portion of parking revenues in better transit

Tool: Transportation Improvement District Example: Boulder (CO) Downtown District analyzes most cost-effective mix of new parking or transportation alternatives Cheaper to provide free transit to all downtown employees than provide them parking Parking benefit district: $1 million per year in meter revenue kept Employee benefits: free universal transit pass (Eco-Pass); Guaranteed Ride Home; ridematching services; bicycle parking, etc. Eco-Pass: reduced commuter parking demand by 850 spaces

4. Universal Transit Passes: Employer-Based Boulder, CO Eco-Pass $83 per year per worker Deep discount for group enrollment only 6% of normal cost ($1,485) Program includes over 1,200 downtown businesses Results: Drive alone rates fell from 56% to 36%

Downtown Boulder, Colorado 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% Drive Alone Carpool Bus Walked & Biked Multi-Mode & Other 20% 10% 0% 1995 1997 1999 2001 2003 2005

5. Require the unbundling of Parking Costs

Unbundling parking costs from commercial leases Example: Downtown Bellevue, WA Requires building owners to include parking costs as a separate line item in leases Minimum rate for monthly long-term parking: twice the price of a bus pass Minimum rate in 2003: $144/month Maximum parking requirements: 2.4 spaces / 1000 sf GLA Results: drive alone commute rate fell by 30%, from 81% driving alone to 57%

Unbundling Parking Costs at Residential Buildings Example: The Gaia Building, Berkeley 91 apartments, theater, café & office space 42 parking spaces supplied Parking costs unbundled - $150/month parking fee Result: 237 adult residents with just 20 cars

6. Share Parking

7. Remove or Reduce Off- Street Minimum Parking Requirements
