Want to Foster Walking, Biking and Transit? You Need Good Parking Policy
The high-water mark for American parking policy came in the early
1970s, when cities including New York, Boston, and Portland set limits
on off-street parking in their downtowns. They were compelled to do so

parking policy to curb traffic and reduce pollution from auto
emissions. This level of innovation went unmatched over the ensuing
three-and-a-half decades. Only now are American cities implementing
effective new parking strategies that cut down on traffic.
