Cities transitioning from free to paid parking, or adding demand responsive pricing programs face a number of challenges. Introducing these types of paid parking programs involves improving transparency, data infrastructure, communications approaches, physical infrastructure and organizational structures.
This webinar is part of the Local Parking Policy Technical Assistance webinar series. It includes implementers of "flat" pricing programs and demand responsive pricing programs to share their experiences on:
- When and where to consider paid and demand-responsive parking, and how to know which type of program is right for your city
- Data and analysis approaches from program development to measuring and sharing outcomes
- Communications strategies for different program types
- System and implementation costs
- How programs fit with equity and sustainability goals
This session is uniquely focused on sharing implementation-oriented lessons learned from speakers who have gained firsthand experience creating and operating pricing programs.
