  • Abstract:
    This report summarizes research into the use of pricing to increase the effectiveness of on-street parking spaces in and adjacent to commercial areas of the District of Columbia. Research emphasis was directed toward accomplishing three primary objectives: 1) to summarize information gathered from previous studies of on-street parking operations in the District, 2) to identify best practices in on-street parking from urban areas throughout the country, and 3) to develop a pilot study for testing innovative on-street parking strategies with known potential to increase effectiveness. The recommended pilot study involves the use of graduated pricing via mid-block, pay-and-go meters in loading zones and variable pricing using the same type of meter in residential permit parking and currently metered parking zones. Recommendations include studying the parking behaviors of both commercial and passenger vehicles in select commercial areas of the District, and in the adjacent mixed-use areas where there is both residential and commercial development. The intended purposes of the pilot study are to assess the effectiveness of current on-street parking operations in the District and to test the potential to achieve more effective operations through changes in pricing.
