Industry Thought Leadership Webinar: SFMTA and Demand-Responsive Parking Pricing
Presented by Hank Willson
​
San Francisco will be the first U.S. city to implement a “demand-responsive pricing” program citywide - across all 28,000 on-street parking meters and SFMTA managed garages and lots. The decision to implement this new pricing approach was the result of six years of analysis and study​.
Viewers will learn how demand-based pricing programs can:
-
Increase revenues for local businesses
-
Lower parking rates for residents and visitors-
-
Decrease parking search time, and vehicle miles traveled
More importantly, attendees will take away lessons learned from the process that can be applied to parking operations across the country.
