Potential Demonstration Modifications In Second Year of Paid Parking Demonstration

Expand hours for residential registration while reducing costs:


Use Station Monitors at Parker Rd for Registration Could cities offer registration stickers as a service?

Increase Revenue by expansion to additional stations:


Trinity Mills George Bush Arapaho

Rationale for Expansion of the Demonstration for the Second Year Evaluate reaction of non-resident riders
Will non-residents revert to Parker Road and N. Carrollton? Will non-residents shift to more southern free lots? Will expanded non-resident paid parking impact ridership?

Increase Paid Parking Revenue


Can current vendor staff manage adjacent stations to minimize cost impacts? Can the program be profitable?

Other Paid Parking Demonstration Concepts in the longer term


Evaluate Impact of Covered Parking at N. W. Plano Park & Ride Evaluate the potential for automatic paid parking to minimize costs
Funding may be available to accomplish this from the remaining RTR grant for N. W. Plano Park & Ride.
