The use of parking management in cities can have many consequences. Though it is generally used to encourage travellers to use public transit, parking management can have the unintended effect of encouraging travellers to travel to other destinations, cancel or change their activities, or change the time of day that they take the trip. Parking management can be utilised across many variables, which may include time limits, taxes, parking rates, residential parking permits, parking spaces and how they are distributed spatially, level of enforcement, and employee parking. This chapter discusses a survey undertaken in Haifa, Israel, to evaluate the benefits of parking management strategies.
