ABSTRACT
This chapter describes specific parking management strategies. It provides description, impacts on parking demand and requirements, benefits, costs, and consumer impacts, suitable applications, implementation, examples and case studies and references and information resources. The feasibility of shared parking depends on the types of destinations, their proximity, and the quality of walking conditions between parking facilities and destinations. On-street parking tends to be shared efficiently since it is convenient to use and serves multiple destinations. An on-street parking space can usually substitute for two or three off-street parking spaces. Shared parking reduces parking facility costs, allows greater flexibility in facility location and site design, and creates more compact land use. By encouraging park-once trips shared parking can reduce vehicle traffic, particularly in congested commercial centers. Shared parking can be applied in a wide variety of conditions. Most worksites and many multifamily residential buildings can share parking rather than assign reserved spaces.
