Implementing paid parking is one of the most politically sensitive and potentially transformative projects a community can undertake. Yet while countless books explain why parking matters, few explain how to successfully build a parking program from the ground up.

A Guide to Implementing Paid Parking provides a practical, step-by-step roadmap for planners, parking professionals, consultants, elected officials, and community leaders.

From conducting parking studies and building stakeholder support to selecting technology, establishing policies, assembling the right team, and preparing for the future, this guide walks readers through every stage of implementation using real world case studies, expert interviews, proven best practices, and actionable checklists.

Whether your community is considering its first parking program or modernizing an existing one, A Guide to Implementing Paid Parking offers the tools, strategies, and confidence to transform parking from one of downtown’s biggest frustrations into one of its greatest assets.

The International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI) is the world’s largest association of professionals in parking, transportation, and mobility. Members include everyone from parking owners and operators to architects, planners, city managers, government agencies, healthcare organizations, universities, airports, convention centers, and the many professionals who keep people and communities moving.

 “If you are considering paid parking for your community, or want to learn more about how parking is managed behind the scenes, read A Guide to Implementing Paid Parking. It shows how getting parking right will improve almost everything else in the city.”
