Parking Policies for Supporting Sustainable Mobility

Parking policies have become an integral part of modern urban planning strategies as transportation planners and engineers have recognized the substantial impact they may have on mode choice and travel routes, directly affecting urban mobility characteristics. For parking policies to be truly valuable and effective, they should be carefully integrated into a transport development plan aiming to achieve the long-term targets of sustainable mobility. To this end, this paper investigates the impact of parking policies on urban mobility characteristics and then highlights, through a case study in a medium-sized Greek city, the actions to be undertaken for their successful implementation.
