Andrew Potter, Director at Parking Perspectives, is presenting at Intertraffic Amsterdam this April. The presentation will cover the UK’s Transport Planning Society document “Just the Ticket!”.
The UK’s Transport Planning Society document “Just the Ticket!” contains 18 recommendations for parking policy to help decarbonise transport. The recommendations are set out under 3 main themes, covering planning laws, making the use of public space more Equitable and environmental taxes and charges.
While explaining these, the presentation will also draw out a selection of more innovative policy ideas, including: a way to lock in lower parking standards now that enable people to transition from car dependent land use planning; Licensing of third-party car park operators to establish consistency and control on pricing in city centres, and moving away from using the duration of stay to set the parking charge, but instead using the time of entry and exit to identify and charge for a range of wider societal costs caused by the parking event.
The presentation includes animation and reference to a summary illustration of the recommendations made.
