ENFORCEMENT OF PARKING MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: A CRITICAL ELEMENT IN PROGRAM-PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION (ABRIDGMENT)

Parking management strategies have become an important component of urban transportation programs. However, the implementation of such strategies and their eventual success is heavily influenced by the degree to which their new requirements are enforced. This paper examines the enforcement component of parking management strategies and identifies some of the key enforcement characteristics of successful strategies and programs. Case studies of a towing and booting program and a residential parking permit program in Boston are used to illustrate the important role that enforcement has in project implementation. The enforcement and adjudication process established should consider not only the types of tactics that can be used but also the capability of the agencies involved in the process to handle their responsibility. This is especially true in the adjudication component when the responsible actors are the courts. Finally, the U. S. Department of Transportation should take appropriate action to incorporate the start-up costs of parking enforcement programs into existing federal-aid programs. (Author)
