TRAVELER RESPONSE TO TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM CHANGES. CHAPTER 18 - PARKING MANAGEMENT AND SUPPLY

The location, supply, and pricing of parking influences development opportunities, property values, and urban form. Parking plays a key role in land use accessibility and the economy of major centers. Parking availability is of significant importance to travelers making travel decisions. It affects such diverse travel decisions as mode choice, trip destination choice, and trip frequency. This chapter presents information on how travelers respond to differences in the supply and availability of vehicle parking, including changes that might occur as a result of shifting land-use patterns, changes in regulatory policy, or attempts to "manage" the supply of parking. Information on "normal" baseline parking characteristics is also provided. The effects of parking pricing are, however, covered in Chapter 13, and parking in support of transit service and carpooling is the subject of Chapter 3. This chapter, Chapter 18, will be of interest to transit, transportation, and land use planning practitioners; educators and researchers; and professionals across a broad spectrum of transportation and planning agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and local, state, and federal government agencies.
