Overview

Mission

See schedule othe parking reform network educates the public about the impact of parking policy on climate change, equity, housing, and traffic. In partnership with allied organizations, we accelerate the adoption of critical parking reforms through research, coalition-building, and direct advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2024

The parking reform network's programmatic expenditures in 2024 supported the monitoring and reporting of parking policy reforms, maintenance of tools such as the parking mandates map, and the provision of informational resources. We delivered presentations and offered consulting to enhance advocacy efforts and inform policymakers. Our communication channels disseminated news and best practices, nurturing a community dedicated to mutual support. Through strategic community building and engagement, we aim to make parking reform approachable, fostering a network united in promoting widespread and impactful policy changes.
