Travel by car invariably involves the use of a car parking space at
the start and end of the journey, the provision of which impacts on
travel demand and travel behavior. The presence or absence of
parking at the destination also has significant implications for
the demand for public transport. The impact of parking on mode
share and travel demand more generally thus has implications for
transport and sustainability. Parking has been extensively used as
a means of managing the demand for car travel, be it by use of
parking pricing, regulation or parking supply via polices such as
park and ride. Given the ubiquitous nature of parking in our
cities, there is a relative lack of research at least when compared
to measures such as road pricing of which much has been written but
of which there are few schemes in existence world-wide. This book
advances the debate with respect to parking; covering the issues of
supply and demand, the various policy measures, namely economic,
regulatory, regional wide or organizational. Carefully selected
case studies highlight specific examples with industry and research
implications. It concludes with a piece about the future direction
of parking policy.
