Reframing the Parking Problem

Parking is plagued with misinformation and exaggerated importance, and parking policies are often based on the opinions — and behavior — of everyone except customers. Does your business district actually have a parking problem? Do the customers think there is a problem? How do you know?

Many times, infrastructure and policy decisions are made based on perceived problems rather than real problems, negatively impacting the health, environment, and economic and social vitality of the district.

This section explores the basics of parking supply, types, uses, facilities, policies, and supportive programming.
