• Abstract:
  This research seeks to build a knowledge base on suburban parking by studying ten case study sites, examining issues in parking supply, pricing, and policy. A case study approach is used because parking is affected by a large number of actors through the development and management of a building. It is important to have a comprehensive view of the circumstances affecting suburban parking. For example, it is generally acknowledged that suburban parking is underutilized, yet there is debate about why that occurs. Is the reason for this oversupply the local zoning requirements, or lender’s requirements, or simply the inertia of accumulated practices? It is also known that suburban parking is almost always free to the parker, despite its substantial economic cost. What effect does this subsidy have on commuter mode choice?
