1 Regional Parking Strategies for Focused Growth and Climate Protection Jeffrey Tumlin, Principal

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 2 Regional Parking Strategies: Outline 1.Why is parking so important? 2.Flaws of existing parking policies 3.Local parking reforms 4.Can regional action help? 5.Potential regional parking strategies 6.Benefits of a regional approach 7.Key regional questions

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies Why is parking so important? 3 o generates traffic, increasing VMT and emissions o is the difference between Smart Growth and sprawl o is expensive (economically inefficient) Free/Subsidized parking…

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 4 Flaws of existing policy 1. Employer paid parking (built per code) subsidizes driving 2. Local parking requirements make it cheaper to build/locate in low-density areas (cost to build, operate, and maintain) Effects of parking cash-out on parking demand. Source: Derived from Donald Shoup, “Evaluating the Effects of Parking Cash-Out: Eight Case Studies,” Based on the cost in 2005 dollars.

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 5 Local Parking Reforms Pasadena, CA 1.Enforce the state parking cashout law locally / Expand cashout to employers of employees 2.Charge market rates in high demand areas 3.Separate leases for parking 4.Remove minimum/set maximum parking req.s 5.Increase allowable Floor Area Ratios (FAR) to permit development on surface parking lots Pasadena, CA

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 6 Genentech, S. San Francisco G-Ride Program Features: Parking Cashout ($4/day) Transit subsidy + shuttle service Program Results: Cut commute-related GHGe by 8.6% Keys to success: 1.Local policy: Specific reduction requirements; flexibility 2.Cost savings: Genentech avoided $100 m structured parking 3.Corporate culture and Ownership of land

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 7 Can regional action help? Barriers to widespread local implementation: o Local comfort, lack of experience with alternatives o Lack of local coordination (public works vs. planning) o Perceived competition for retail customers o Neighborhood concerns about ‘spillover’ impacts o Absence of constituency for reform The region can… o Coordinate policies and level playing field across boundaries o Support and incentivize local reforms - Priority funding for FOCUS PDAs o Coordination with other regional climate/ smart growth strategies - Parking policies, along with other TDM measures, should be analyzed in the context of the SCS

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 8 Potential Regional Parking Reform Strategies 1. Lead by example (JPC) o Implement employer best-practices 2. Incorporate parking reform policies in grant programs (ABAG, MTC, BAAQMD) o Incorporate into station-area planning grants o Provide training, assistance - PDA priority o Develop local Green Parking Certification o Regional parking strategies should be analyzed in the context of the SCS

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 9 Potential Regional Parking Reform Strategies 3. Engage CMAs in parking reform (MTC): o Monitor, evaluate, report local parking reforms o Evaluate projects and programs in terms of per capita VMT/GHGe 4. Extend regulations to parking (BAAQMD, with support from MTC): As part of “indirect source” regulation, levy annual parking impact-fee per parking space provided. o Graduate fees based on parking price and location o Return revenues to local governments

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 10 Potential Regional Parking Reform Strategies 5. Condition discretionary transportation funding on implementation of parking reform (MTC): o Similar to MTC TOD Policy (Resolution 3434) o Assess performance at city, corridor or county level o Provide local governments with flexibility to comply or pay other communities to enact reforms

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 11 Potential Regional Parking Reform Strategies 6. Fund parking reform programs with regional gas-tax or extension of GHGe Cost-Recovery Fee (MTC/ABAG/BAAQMD): o Fund parking reform programs, including: instituting pricing, monitoring and enforcement, smart parking meters, etc. o Focus funding on PDAs 7. Advocate elimination of federal tax subsidy for employee parking (MTC/ABAG/BAAQMD) o Stop paying people to drive: Remove tax exemption for employer paid parking o Generates up to $52 billion per year nationwide o Requires federal legislative reform

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 12 Benefits of Regional Parking Strategies 1. High impact: Reduce driving, VMT, and GHGe (cut VMT by 50% in new development; 20-30% in existing development) 2. Quick-results and long-term impacts 3. Low cost and/or revenue generating (earns ~$2,000 per ton of CO2 removed) 4. Pro-market and pro-Smart Growth 5. Applicable region-wide 6. Promotes social equity

Joint Policy Committee – Regional Parking Strategies 13 Key Regional Questions 1. Should the Bay Area remove the subsidies for driving that are hidden in local parking policies/practices? 2. If so, what role should the regional agency members of the JPC play in this process?
