THE NEW YORK CITY PARKING MANAGEMENT STUDY
The New York City Parking Management Study was undertaken to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different parking management policies, such as a surcharge on parking fees and reduced availability of parking to improve air quality by decreasing auto use in the Manhattan Central Business District. The major conclusions of the study are that policies based on changing auto trip cost and travel time may be ineffective in reducing auto trips since most of the variations in trip decisions are due to factors other than trip time and cost, and that the air quality impact of economically based parking management strategies is minimal. For example, the impact of a $10 surcharge would be a 2.7 percent reduction carbon monoxide, or about 0.6 ppm at hot spots in the Midtown core. Figures are given on auto traffic, available parking spaces, peak flows, and elasticity of demand among current auto users.
