Presentation - Parking Reform Made Easy

Today, there are almost three and a half parking spaces for every car in the United States. Outdated minimum parking requirements stand at the heart of this excess parking, wasting land in the suburbs and thwarting economic development in urban centers. The presentation explains the problems with minimum parking requirements and shows how to reform them.

Drawing on his new book, Parking Reform Made Easy, Dr. Willson illustrates a 12-step parking requirement reform process with practical examples. This process helps stakeholders answer the question of how much parking, if any, should be required in zoning codes. The parking reform process emphasizes good quality parking data, an understanding of future trends affecting parking use, and a series of technical and policy adjustment factors.

The presentation also addresses ways of managing parking reform through challenging community and political processes. In the end, parking requirements are a policy choice, not a technical calculation.

The presentation was useful to land use and transportation planners, economic developers, housing developers, designers, policy makers, and community activists.
