Allow Mobility and Parking to quickly adapt to areas based on studied demand

Regularly study demand / occupancy Adjust time/price based on studies Establish the ability to create new parking zones as needed Adjust transportation services as needed to support zones Use increased funds to further expand transportation and facilities

Adapting to a changing environment

No time zones on metered spaces Expand meter times to 8 am – 8 pm Expand meter days to Saturday Establish clear pricing zones that follow demand

Other parts of the plan must be completed before this is implemented

Base pricing on actual demand and give a maximum number of choices

Make the system more accessible based on actual demand
