What are the Sustainability Benefits?

The sustainability benefits that result from preferred parking include:

  • Improved Air Quality
  • Energy Savings
  • Reduced Traffic Congestion

Potential Strategies for Implementation

To provide preferred parking, workplaces must simply designate premium parking sports for commuters who carpool, vanpool, or drive low-emission and fuel-efficient vehicles.

Desired Regional End-State

The desired regional end-state is the implementation of policies to require workplaces to designate preferred parking spots and the utilization of these parking spots by employees.

Measures of Progress/Metrics

The number or preferred parking spots and the usage of those preferred parking spots are both effective measures of progress.
