EFFECTIVENESS OF PARKING AGENCIES

AN INVENTORY OF PARKING AGENCIES WAS MADE TO ANALYZE THEIR LEGAL POWERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLANNING OF PARKING FACILITIES, THE FINANCING, ACQUISITION OF LAND, CONSTRUCTION, AND OPERATION OF FACILITIES. THE CHOICE OF METHOD OF PROVIDING OFF-STREET-PARKING ACCOMMODATIONS VARIES WITH THE SIZE AND ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A PARTICULAR CITY, ITS POLITICAL AND BUSINESS ATTITUDES AND LOCAL MORES, ITS TAX AND DEBT STRUCTURES, THE MAGNITUDE OF ITS PARKING NEEDS, AND MORE RELATED FACTORS. SUCCESS OF ESTABLISHMENT OF A PARKING AUTHORITY DUE TO PUBLIC INTERESTS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ONLY IF SKILLED CONSISTENT MANAGEMENT IS ITS COUNTER-PART.
