Downtown Parking Innovations: Avoiding the High Costs of Free Parking
Thursday, October 19, 2006

Click here for printable .PDF announcement.


Downtowns have enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, with “New Urbanism” principles bringing a more cosmopolitan air, even in previously sleepy suburban downtowns. Synergies among mixed land uses, walkability, and transit access are attractive features that also reduce vehicle trips. However, effective management of parking supply and demand remains a key component for success.

We have gathered a panel of experts to talk to us about downtown parking management issues and strategies, innovative parking fee structures and payment technologies, and actual experiences in various Bay Area cities.

Featuring Presentations By

DAN ZACK, Downtown Development Manager, City of Redwood City
MICHAEL VECCHIO, Transportation Specialist, City of Walnut Creek
VALERIE KNEPPER of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)
