Benefits of Parking Controls for Schools P
1. Ensures Visitor Turnover Near School Entrances � ���
Parking Controls help keep short-term spaces available for parents, volunteers, vendors, � �
and visitors who need quick access to the building during the day.
2. Reduces Long-Term Parking in High-Demand Areas
Without parking controls, students, staff, or nearby residents may occupy prime curb
spaces all day. Parking controls preserve these spaces for short-duration school traffic.
3. Improves Safety During Drop-Off and Pick-Up
Parking controls discourage unnecessary lingering near entrances, reducing congestion and
improving visibility for buses, walkers, and crossing guards.
4. Manages Overflow Parking During Events
Parking controls ensure some parking remains available near the school during busy events
like conferences, performances, and games.
SMART PARKING & MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 17 of 6�8
Benefits of Parking Controls for Schools P
� ���
6. Encourages Students to Use Designated Lots � �
Parking controls prevent school students from taking the most convenient on-street spaces,
directing them toward assigned lots and reducing curb congestion.
7. Creates a Fair System for All Users
Everyone pays for only the time they need, ensuring equal access for parents, staff,
substitute teachers, and service providers.
8. Supports Neighborhood Relations
Properly managed curb space prevents school traffic from spilling into residential streets,
reducing frustration for neighbors.
9. Makes Parking Behavior More Predictable
Parking controls create consistent patterns of use, enabling schools and city planners to
better understand peak times, demand, and safety needs.
SMART PARKING & MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 18 of 6�8
Benefits of Parking Controls for Residents P
� ���
1. Flexible Times � �
With parking controls, people choose how long they want to stay instead of being forced to
leave after a fixed time.
2. No Need to Rush
Parking controls eliminate the stress of watching the clock or cutting visits short to avoid a
citation.
3. Ability to Extend Time Remotely
Modern parking controls and apps let people add time from their phones, making trips far
more convenient.
4. Fewer Disputed Citations
Parking controls give users control over their duration. Users can extend time as needed.
5. More Predictable Parking
Parking controls help ensure that at least some spaces are available, reducing circling
around the block.
SMART PARKING & MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 19 of 6�8
Benefits of Parking Controls for Residents P
� ���
6. Fair Use of Prime Spaces � �
Everyone pays for what they use, preventing employees or long-term parkers from
monopolizing the best curb spots.
7. Better Support for Longer Errands
Appointments, shopping, dining, and events all vary in length; parking controls
accommodate these events naturally.
8. Improved Downtown Experience
People would rather enjoy their visit than worry about a two-hour limit or having to move
their vehicle.
9. Clearer Rules
Parking controls make it obvious what the rules are: pay for the time you need.
SMART PARKING & MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 20 of 698
Benefits of Parking Controls for Businesses P
1. Ensures Frequent Customer Turnover � ���
Parking controls prevent all-day parking, keeping spaces rotating so new customers can � �
access the business throughout the day.
2. Increases Customer Access to Storefronts
When prime spaces stay open more often, people are more likely to stop in spontaneously,
boosting walk-in traffic.
3. Reduces Employee and Residential Parking in Front of Stores
Parking controls discourage employees from occupying the best spots, preserving curb
space for paying customers.
4. Improves Perception of Availability
Instead of seeing every curb space full, customers see open, convenient parking making
downtown feel easier to access.
SMART PARKING & MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 21 of 6�8
Benefits of Parking Controls for Businesses P
5. Decreases Circling for Parking � ���
With priced turnover, fewer cars circle the block looking for free spaces, improving the � �
overall customer experience.
6. Creates Fair Access for All Customers
No single driver can monopolize prime curb space. Everyone gets a fair shot at convenient
parking.
7. Helps Attract Out-of-Town Visitors
Visitors don't know where free long-term parking is, but they do know how to use parking
control devices. Easy access increases their likelihood of shopping downtown.
8. Reinforces the Value of Curb Space
Curb space is some of the most valuable real estate a business has. Parking controls ensure
it's used for active customers, not storage.
SMART PARKING & MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 22 of 6�8
Why Larger and Growing Cities have Parking Controls P
Promotes fairness in parking � ---�'�
Everyone gets equal access to limited parking rather than only � �
early arrivers or long-term parkers.
Discourages long-term storage of vehicles
Parking controls prevent cars from sitting for days on key commercial
blocks.
Encourages use of off-street parking options
Paid curb parking directs workers and long-term parkers to use
garages and lots, which are designed for longer stays.
Supports urban economic development
Predictable, available parking improves the downtown experience,
boosting commerce and investment.
Generates revenue for public services
Parking control revenue can support overall repair and payments of
ramps, lots and equipment.
SMART PARKING & MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 23 of(-3�
Why Larger and Growing Cities have Parking Controls P
Encourages alternative transportation � ---�'�
Paid parking makes walking, biking, and transit relatively more � �
appealing for short trips.
Supports special events and tourism
Parking controls keep turnover high, ensuring visitors can access
attractions and venues without circling around the block.
Aligns with environmental goals
Less vehicle idling and cruising helps reduce emissions and
supports climate plans.
Improves the user experience
Modern parking controls and apps make payment and extension
easy, avoiding citations and improving convenience.
Improves safety
Reduced cruising and clearer curb rules help lower accident risks
and keep sidewalks and walk lanes more organized.

Time Limits VS Paid Parking P
1. Purpose & Effectiveness � ���
• Time Limits: Encourage turnover but often inconsistently enforced; effectiveness � �
depends on staff.
• Paid Parking: Directly manages demand; pricing keeps spaces available in high-use areas.
2. User Experience
• Time Limits: Can create stress and rushed visits; risk of getting a citation for staying a few
minutes too long.
• Paid Parking: More flexible—visitors choose how long to stay and can extend time via
parking controls or app.
3. Impact on Businesses
• Time Limits: May discourage longer shopping, dining, or appointments.
• Paid Parking: Encourages turnover while still allowing longer stays when needed.
4. Revenue & Reinforcement
• Time Limits: No revenue; requires city funding for enforcement.
• Paid Parking: Generates revenue that can improve downtown parking systems.
SMART PARKING & MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 39 of G�
Time Limits VS Paid Parking P
5. Enforcement � ���
• Time Limits: Labor-intensive; requires chalking or digital marking every block. � �
• Paid Parking: Easier to enforce; violations are clear.
6. Behavior Outcomes
• Time Limits: Encourages "spot shuffling," where drivers move a vehicle slightly to reset
the clock.
• Paid Parking: Reduces unnecessary circulation because people no longer need to move
their car to extend their stay.
8. Flexibility
• Time Limits: One-size-fits-all; cannot adapt to different block demands or special events.
• Paid Parking: Pricing can vary by location or time of day to match real-world usage
patterns.
9. Modernization
• Time Limits: Outdated approach that doesn't integrate well with smart city tech.
• Paid Parking: Supports mobile apps, occupancy data, dynamic pricing, and real-time
planning.
