EEM2 (TDM & transport services) Ch 10 Evaluation of parking and land use

Introduction

This chapter describes methods for economic efficiency evaluation of parking and land use projects, which may comprise the whole of a TDM programme or may be a component of a wider programme. The main focus of this chapter at present (October 2005) is on parking management with future additions to be made on land use management. Parking and land use strategies are described in chapter 2. Placing limits on parking supply is an important component of land use control for new developments.

Programmes that employ parking and/or land use management to encourage alternative mode use may also have components of infrastructure provision/improvement, passenger transport provision/improvement, or financial incentives/subsidies.

Reference 1 provides further information about parking and land use management.

Parking and land use management may be considered for funding by Land Transport New Zealand depending on the activity under consideration and whether it is integral to Land Transport New Zealand’s goals.
