New York City region employers, merchants, municipalities and transit operators
spend billions of dollars on the construction and upkeep of parking lots
and garages, yet employees and customers often still can't find a space
to park. A new 6-page color brochure written and published by the
Tri-State Transportation Campaign addresses the region's parking crunch.
Parking Management
describes innovative strategies to reduce demand for parking that are
far less expensive than widening or decking a lot.
"Parking problems have gotten worse, rather than better, as businesses and municipalities have poured money into bigger structures," explains Adelma Lilliston, parking specialist at the Tri-State Transportation Campaign. "Leveling the playing field between solo driving and other travel modes is the best way to get the most for your parking buck." See this issue's last article for successful examples from Minneapolis.
Last week, Parking Management was mailed to over 1,500 municipal officials, planners and business leaders in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. If you or someone you know is interested in receiving copies of the brochure free of charge, contact the Campaign at 212-268-7474 or e-mail your request and mailing address to tstc@tstc.org.
