Abstract	Parking policies are often not coordinated with public transit and ridesharing, even though traffic congestion in urban areas and large employment centers is a major challenge for local governments in most cities. Few attempts have been made to evaluate the effectiveness of parking strategies and the relation between parking control and transportation policies such as improved transit service, staggered work hours, or priority lanes for high-occupancy vehicles. This publication examines parking policies that act as incentive for high occupancy vehicle travel, especially for commuter work trips. The following are covered: Parking incentives to increase ridesharing; parking incentives to increase the use of public transit; alternative transportation assistance programs; and bicycle parking. A listing of Federal, state and local contacts, and brief descriptions of parking programs that may be applicable to other urban areas are also provided.
