Delay Reduction Capacity Utilization Travel time Reliability Transit Performance GHG Emissions Quality of Life & Sustainability Economic Development

Why are we doing this?

Congestion levels↑ in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale metropolitan statistical (MSA) area

Parking should be a larger congestion management solution and other community objectives.

The average peak‐period traveler in Miami MSA experienced an additional 47 hours extra in travel time and consumed an additional 33 gallons of fuel due to

  • congestion. (TTI, 2007)

Aggregation of 146 million hrs of travel delay and 102 million gallons of wasted fuel, a monetary cost of $2.95 billion, up from a cost of $2.05 million in 1982

Variable Pricing for Hot Spots On-Street Parking

 The cost of

parking should vary by place and time of day to encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation.

Parking and Revenue Streams

 Informal parking should be upzoned and

appropriately taxed.

 Variable pricing is critical in achieving

85% occupancy.

 Revenue should be shared with

neighborhood associations.

Parking and Transit Performance

 Commuters are responsive to parking

policies.

 Transit services must be coordinated

with parking infrastructure

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Parking Credits for Multi-Modal Infrastructure

 Developers should

be relieved from parking requirements if they provide:

 bicycle parking and

lockers

 transit amenities  subsidize transit

  • peration

 car sharing

Sustainable Land Use and Transportation Planning

 Regional land use patterns must

deemphasize parking requirements and create enough density to support multimodal transportation options.

Lessons Learned

 Study is an integrated approach to the study of

parking.

 Parking supply and demand are critical issues

to the future development of the Central Business District.

 Coordination of parking supply, transit service,

and land use policies are critical components to the production of a more sustainable land use pattern.
