PARKING AS AN ELEMENT WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS

PARKING EXERTS A QUALIFYING CONTROL ON THE PROPOSAL OF ANY FUTURE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN ITS PROPER PERSPECTIVE IN THE PRESENT COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS. CARS DESTINED TO AN AREA MUST BE PARKED BEFORE THE TRIP PURPOSE CAN BE FULFILLED. IF DEMAND FOR PARKING EXCEEDS AVAILABLE SUPPLY, ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE MADE AMONG THE PLANNED ROADWAY SYSTEM, THE PLANNED TRANSIT SYSTEM, AND THE PLANNED PARKING PROGRAM. THE AUTHOR EVALUATES CURRENT STATUS OF PARKING ANALYSIS AND ITS RELATION TO THE COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS, DISCUSSES THE BASIC RELATIONSHIP BEHIND DRIVERS' CHOICES OF PARKING LOCATIONS, AND PROPOSES A NEW PROCEDURE FOR IMPROVING THE PARKING ANALYSIS AND ITS COORDINATION WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS. DISCUSSED IN THE NEW PROCEDURES ARE OBJECTIVES OF A PARKING ANALYSIS, DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCEDURE, AND USE OF ORIGIN- DESTINATION SURVEY DATA FOR PARKING DEMAND. THE AUTHOR DETAILS A CURRENT PARKING RESEARCH PROJECT TO EVALUATE SOME OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF IMPROVING BOTH THE COORDINATION OF PARKING WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS AND THE GENERAL QUALITY OF THE PARKING ANALYSIS. /AUTHOR/
