Potential Demonstration Modifications In

Second Year of Paid Parking Demonstration

Expand hours for residential registration while

reducing costs:

Use Station Monitors at Parker Rd for Registration

Could cities offer registration stickers as a service?

Increase Revenue by expansion to additional

stations:

Trinity Mills George Bush

Arapaho

1/18/2013 18


19/22

Rationale for Expansion of the Demonstration

for the Second Year

Evaluate reaction of non-resident riders

Will non-residents revert to Parker Road and N. Carrollton?

Will non-residents shift to more southern free lots?

Will expanded non-resident paid parking impact ridership?

Increase Paid Parking Revenue

Can current vendor staff manage adjacent stations tominimize cost impacts?

Can the program be profitable?

1/18/2013 19


20/22

Other Paid Parking Demonstration

Concepts in the longer term

Evaluate Impact of Covered Parking at N. W.Plano Park & Ride

Evaluate the potential for automatic paidparking to minimize costs

Funding may be available to accomplish thisfrom the remaining RTR grant for N. W. PlanoPark & Ride.
