Briefly describe the tasks you would include in a comprehensive parking study for your college campus, indicating how you would perform each task and the way you would present the data collected.

What will be an ideal response?


Parking studies, in general, are used to determine the demand and supply of parking facilities in an area, the projection of the demand into the future, and the collection of the views of various interest groups on how best to solve any problems. A comprehensive parking study usually includes an inventory of existing parking facilities, collection of data on parking accumulation, parking turnover, and parking duration data, identification of parking generators, and obtaining information on parking demand. On a college campus, this would include faculty, staff, and student lots, as well as visitor parking facilities. The college administration would also have to be interviewed to determine their policy on parking as it relates to the provision of on-campus parking.
Parking accumulation data would be obtained by checking the amount of parking at 2-hour intervals from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays, when demand is highest. Parking accumulation would then be plotted against time of day for each lot. While collecting accumulation data, license plates of vehicles in selected spaces should be recorded to determine duration and turnover. When the data is analyzed, the average length of time an individual vehicle occupies a space can be estimated. The college itself is the parking generator and therefore this step can be omitted as parking facilities of varying capacity exist throughout campus; however, the location of the larger parking facilities could be identified on a map. Parking demand would be collected by interviewing drivers as they enter the parking facility. The interviewer should attempt to identify the driver’s trip origin, purpose of their trip and the driver’s destination after parking. This information could indicate a need for a parking facility in a new location or the enlargement of an existing facility.
