9. Parking Matters
Parking supply and management is the difference between smart growth
and congested or sprawled environs:
– Parking consumes land and resources
– Parking is expensive
– We need to manage and supply parking in-line with broader goals

2011 USGBC Ruling
“Parking garages may not pursue LEED certification. More specifically,
buildings that dedicate more than 75% of floor area (including areas not
covered, enclosed, or conditioned) to the parking and circulation of motor
vehicles are ineligible for LEED.”

Benefits
• Travel Impacts
• Parking Management
• Reduced Automobile Use and Congestion
• Efficient Land Use
• Cost Recovery Pricing (fees set to recover facility costs) reduces
number of spaces needed by 10-30% from free parking
• Revenues
• Low Price Elasticity (-0.1 to -0.3), thus 10% increase in parking
fees reduces vehicle trips by 1 to 3 percent
• Equity

B1: Placemaking
• “Placemaking is an approach to the planning,
design and management and programming of
public spaces.
• Placemaking capitalizes on a local community's
assets, inspiration, and potential, with the
intention of creating public spaces that promote
people's health, happiness, and well being.”
