Abstract:

This study explores the potential impacts of changes to California parking cash-out policy—which since 1992 has required that certain qualifying employers who subsidize employee parking offer employees cash to give up their parking space—on the Bay Area and Southern California. Studies show substantial reductions in VMT and emissions from parking cash out; however, research on this policy remains limited and enforcement remains voluntary. Parking cash out has also been adopted across U.S. states, counties, and cities, often as part of Transportation Demand Management programs, making assessment difficult.
