CPMA 2024 Annual Conference & Expo

Leveraging “True” Occupancy Data to Develop Evidence-Based Parking Policies 

Thursday, September 26, 1:30 PM, Room: Lakeview

Accurate parking occupancy data is critical for the development of an effective parking policy. Until recently, municipalities were making decisions based on insights that reflected a limited picture of how parking resources were being used, resulting in inefficient parking access and limited enforcement and revenue. Reliable, detailed, and accurate data takes the guesswork out of knowing how parking assets are being used and helps organizations deliver better policy programs and increase revenues while reducing operational costs. Educated decisions about city planning and infrastructure ultimately enhances the driving experience for citizens/visitors and optimizes the city’s operations.      This session will discuss the best ways municipalities can collect accurate data, what data is essential to help develop effective parking policy and how the insights gained from the data can be leveraged for various parking initiatives. We will also examine real world examples from three Canadian municipalities to highlight how they each leveraged data to implement different parking policies.
