• Abstract:
  This report describes the results of a preferential parking/pricing demonstration program operated by the City of Eugene, Oregon, and funded by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration. The program established two residential parking permit zones in the West University neighborhood which restricted on-street parking duration to two hours for commuters. The program also designated certain areas where commuters could park on-street beyond the two-hour limit if they purchased a daily or monthly permit from the city or a local retail establishment or institution. This report assesses the effects of these parking management and pricing tactics on parking behavior, program compliance, travel behavior, and traffic flow. It also analyzes permit distributions and use, program costs and revenues, and implications for areas considering the application of these techniques. The report is divided into two documents: (1) Executive Summary describes the most significant demonstration findings; and (2) Technical Report and Appendices provides a detailed description and analysis of the Eugene demonstration and includes several appendices that illustrate various data collection strategies and forms used during the evaluation.
