Reduce Parking Demand

Promote active modes to encourage modal shift from driving to more sustainable modes of transportation.

 

Consider sustainable modes such as walking, bicycling, and transit, in addition to other motorized modes including carpooling.

  • Promote active modes through enhanced education, accessibility, and safety measures for active mode infrastructure
  • Emphasize the benefits of not driving a motor vehicle, including reduced commuting costs, improved health, reduced energy consumption
  • Plan for and design denser, human-scaled areas that encourage sustainable modes by weakening dependence on vehicles.
