PHILADELPHIA CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT PARKING RATE EXPERIMENT

This project is designed to investigate public response to an experimental rate structure of an off-street parking facility which would provide a short-term (non-commuter) parker with a marked rate advantage so as to stimulate transient-type activity at the expense of the all-day (commuter) parker. The purpose of the project was to maximize use of transportation related facilities with a relative minimum expenditure of capital.
