The comprehensive STPP Master Plan Study will address issues related to Metro's parking program at various levels, including: (1) recommend an approach to a pricing system; (2) create a model for determining parking demand at various stations; (3) identify capital and technology projects, facility upgrades, and potential shared uses to increase customer satisfaction with and ease of using Metro's parking system; (4) identify operational needs for each facility; and (5) develop a short and long term strategic plan for current and new parking facilities.
The objectives of the STPP include: (1) perform a comprehensive assessment of the existing program and parking facilities and provide recommendations; (2) develop alternatives that set the framework for the management of Metro's parking resources; (3) identify technology implementation opportunities; (4) recommend Metro's Parking Strategic Implementation Plan (a 5 to 10-year program); (5) evaluate current parking policies, enforcement performance; and (6) develop an STPP Master Plan for Board adoption. Staff anticipates the study will take approximately 12 months.
