This study provides an important database of parking availability, utilization, and costs to support both regional and local planning needs. The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) uses parking data as input to its regional travel demand forecasting models. These models provide estimates of the amount and types of travel we can expect in the years ahead, and allow policy makers to examine the impacts of alternative transportation policy decisions. Parking costs are a key factor in modeling mode choice for both work and non-work trips. During April and May, 1999, the Puget Sound Regional Council inventoried all off-street parking in the Central Business Districts (CBDs) in Seattle and Bellevue, and in the Seattle First Hill and lower Queen Anne areas. The two CBDs were also surveyed in 1987 and 1989; First Hill and lower Queen Anne were first inventoried in 1989. In 1992, 1994, and 1996, all areas were inventoried by the PSRC. The study area for Seattle consists of 19 zones; there are 7 zones in Bellevue for data collection and analysis. Denny Regrade, Pioneer Square, and the International District are considered part of the Seattle CBD for this study.
