Percentage of metered hours that meet parking occupancy targets

Objective

Objective 2.3: Manage congestion and parking demand to support the Transit First policy

Metric

Percentage of metered hours that meet parking occupancy targets

Purpose

Demand-responsive pricing opens up parking spaces on each block and reduces circling and double-parking. To gauge progress in improving parking availability, we track the percentage of metered hours that meet the parking availability goals of 1 or 2 spaces per metered block.

Definition

Percentage of metered hours that meet parking occupancy targets is determined by the number of metered hours with 60-80% occupancy by the total number of metered hours and is reported city-wide.

Methodology

sum ([metered hours w/ 60-80% occupancy) ÷ sum ([total metered hours])

Target

Achieve 35% of parking targets in FY19 and 40% of parking targets in FY20

Reporting Frequency

Quarterly

Notes

Policy goal: increase percent of metered hours with no rate change as this indicates achievement of price point and parking availability goals (1-2 spaces available on every block)
