Parking Wastes Money
Thank you, Don Shoup!
Parking Wastes Land
If you require more than 3 spaces per 1,000 sq ft, you’re requiring more parking than land use

Parking Space 10’ x 20’ = 200 ft2
Bedroom 9’ x 11’ = 99 ft2
Office Cubicle 8’ x 9’ = 72 ft2
Restaurant Table 5’ x 5’ = 25 ft2
Tensions
Sources: “A Heavy Load: The Combined Housing and Transportation Burdens of Working Families,” Center for Neighborhood Technology, 2006. “The Affordability Index: A New Tool for Measuring the True Affordability of a Housing Choice,” Center for Neighborhood Technology, 2008. Sedway Cook studies of parking and housing costs in San Francisco and Oakland.
Parking Worsens Housing Affordability
• For each parking space required in a residential unit: – Price of unit increases 15-
30% – Number of units that can
be built on typical parcel decreases 15-25%
• Fannie Mae: Getting rid of a car = extra $100,000 in mortgage
• At >300 sq ft, each parking space consumes more space than an efficiency apartment

Stop competing with parking

Start competing with place
Parking will Drive you Crazy
So what do we do?
10 Key Principles for Smarter Parking
1. Focus on Availability
Methodological approach: Not turnover. Turnover Availability
11
2. Pricing not Time Limits
Put your customers first.
12
3. Set the Right Price
On-Street: $0.50/hr.
Harbor Garage: $1.50/hr.
… and the Right Time Span
4. Smart Technology

Tailor Parking Requirements
Parking demand varies with geographic factors: – Density – Transit Access – Income – Household size
Cities can tailor parking requirements to meet demand, based on these factors
Does not seek to constrain demand
9. Create Great Places to Walk
