Eliminating Minimum Parking Requirements: Stories from Cities Across the Country

Описание: In 2005, UCLA Professor Donald Shoup published “The High Cost of Free Parking,” revealing the shaky foundations of minimum parking requirements and explaining how these mandates cause problems far worse than the one they were intended to solve. Since then, more than 100 U.S. cities have eliminated any requirements to provide a minimum number of parking spaces from their zoning code, with hundreds more lifting their parking requirements in key areas like commercial corridors and historic downtowns. In this online event, planners, public officials, researchers, and advocates whose cities were among the first to eliminate parking requirements share their experiences. Speakers share why their cities chose to end parking minimums, the new development and opportunities these changes have made possible, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

The Mini-Symposium Series, presented by the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies, offers a deep dive into pressing issues facing transportation planners and policymakers. Each symposium begins with a session featuring speakers who are academic researchers, government practitioners, and community activists. The second session provides participants with the chance to engage in facilitated discussion, exploring how the shared insights can be applied to their work.
