The growth of cities and car dependency worldwide has led to parking problems resulting in increased traffic congestion, pollution, and overall urban chaos. Although most cities use parking time limits and fees to address these problems, parking policy is inadequately defined and an overlooked research area, especially in comparison to other transportation-related policies. Sustainable transportation systems emphasize quality of life and reducing negative impacts from transport activities, and parking policy is a very powerful instrument ranking high on the urban political agenda and in the transport planning process. Sustainable Parking Management: Practices, Policies, and Metrics provides the latest research findings in the field, encouraging transport planners and policy makers to use parking policy as a tool for managing parking and transport system in general. The book teaches up-to-date parking management techniques for selecting parking policies and understanding parking behavior when faced with policy interventions. The book shows when to apply which policy, how to include user attitudes in policy definition, and how to model user behavior when refining parking policies. It stresses the need to reduce city driving overall and for users to choose the transport mode that best suits their needs, contributing significantly to more sustainable and livable cities.
