Parking reform works best when it solves problems people already care about: Housing. Small business. Downtowns. Adaptive reuse. Transportation choice. Public space. Have a recent local parking reform win? We want to hear about it.

About 30% of low-income households have no car, Pew Research Center's Alex Horowitz says. Parking mandates can force builders to build fewer apartments to fit required spaces, and fewer homes mean higher rents. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/r...

Student housing developers face a tough equation: small sites, fixed parking minimums, and unit counts that can't shrink. A Gainesville, FL project used automated parking to solve all three without going below grade. Early design coordination made the difference. #StudentHousing #Parking
NYC repealed parking mandates in parts of the city, but most developers are still solving the same site constraints as before. Experts say efficiency — not zoning — is now the real question. #Multifamily #UrbanDevelopment
Before building more parking, ask: Where is demand highest? When are spaces full? Who needs the curb? Are nearby spaces unused? Could better management help? Good parking policy starts by understanding the problem before prescribing the answer.

To figure out how many vehicles Americans actually want, and what types of vehicles, we should abolish minimum parking mandate nationwide. Because we lack a free market for automobile storage, we cannot determine what Americans would freely choose.
Different parking problems need different tools. Pricing. Permits. Loading zones. Time limits. Wayfinding. Good policy starts by identifying the actual problem, not prescribing the same answer everywhere. That’s the idea behind PRN’s Parking Cookbook. parkingreform.org/resources/co...

If you are wondering what progressive policy reforms actually increase housing supply, here are three to get you started: 1️⃣ Charge the right prices for curb parking. 2️⃣ Return the parking revenue to the blocks where it is generated, to pay for public services. 3️⃣ Remove minimum parking regulations.
Removing parking minimums is not the end of parking policy. Busy places still need loading, accessible spaces, permits, pricing + curb management. The goal isn't “no rules.” It is less mandate and better management.
