Local transportation and land use planners are attempting increasingly to develop parking requirements (both minimum and maximum requirements) to encourage transit use and avoid excess parking supply. Planners are focusing particular attention on transit-oriented developments in proximity to transit where tight parking supply, good pedestrian access to transit, and dense development are aimed at increasing transit use. This paper presents a method for setting parking requirements for office, commercial and industrial developments in proximity to transit stations and stops. The method presented relies on annual employee transportation surveys of the kind typically required under trip-reduction ordinances. These ordinances are now present, or soon will be, in many urban areas and are the result of air quality regulations, traffic management regulations, or both. The method of deriving parking requirements is demonstrated using employee survey data from the city of San Diego. The method derives a range of estimates for parking demand in proximity to transit stops on the basis of high and low use of transit and other alternatives to solo driving, as revealed in the employee survey data. The author draws implications for maximum and minimum parking requirements in San Diego and suggests general cautions in applying the method and areas for further research to improve results from the method.
