Why do we need parking management? - Parking management can: - Significantly reduce number of parking spaces required - Reduce facility costs - Provide better parking information - Support use of transit - Support more livable communities 9
Downtown RPP - Developed after 11 months of business/resident stakeholder discussions - Downtown RPP program will regulate parking in the neighborhoods, but still allow two-hour parking for non-permit holders - Phased program approach will allow for flexibility 10
Downtown RPP, cont. Phase 1: 6 Months City provides free permits to residents City allows unlimited permit sales to employees, and collect data on employee permit purchase 11
Phase 2: 12+ Months Downtown RPP, cont. City monitors and makes changes to program based on data collected in Phase 1, including limiting employee permit sales City to sell up to 4 permits per residential address, with the first one free Permits for downtown employees would be dedicated to specific blocks/areas City will sell fewer permits to employees as additional parking downtown is provided and more public transit options are available 12
Parking Access and Revenue Controls (PARCs) Improve the customer experience for parking patrons at downtown lots Provide a state-of-the-art platform that is readily upgradable and expandable to allow the City to implement new parking programs, policies, rates and payment methods in the future Rely on automation to the greatest extent possible to minimize operational labor costs 13
