Abstract: Many parking shortages could be eliminated by better managing available parking rather than building additional parking facilities. This book excerpt discusses the concept of parking management and how specific parking management strategies can significantly reduce the number of parking spaces required in a particular situation. Parking management strategies fall into three categories: strategies that increase the efficiency of parking facilities; strategies that reduce parking demand; and support strategies that improve information, marking and enforcement. Although parking management represents a fundamental change in how the parking problem is perceived and how solutions are evaluated, the benefits can include more efficient land use, increased revenue and reduced transportation system costs.
