INCREASING CAR OCCUPANCY LEVELS: 3 FOR FREE PARKING IN CANBERRA

Travel demand management (TDM) uses incentives such as priority access to, and pricing of, parking to influence motorists to use private vehicles more efficiently (especially for commuting) by forming car pools. This paper examines the usage rates and user characteristics of the two 3 for free high occupancy vehicle carparks in Canberra as a TDM tool. Analysis indicates the use of the carparks doubled after their upgrading and the promotional campaign, with most of the new users converting from single occupant cars - the optimal TDM target group. 3 for Free carparks thus seem to be a useful TDM measure with quite considerable potential in the Canberra transport climate to give both transport efficiency and environmental benefits.
