OK, at the risk of being slightly blasphemous, the bible does not go out of date and its at least a couple of thousand years old. However the Downtown association is hawking a primer for downtowns discussing on street parking. It was written for the ITE in 1994. I can’t help wondering if this tome isn’t slightly behind the times. You can read about it here.
OK, I shouldn’t decry the contents as I haven’t even read it, but there is no hint of updating, and since it was written in the last century, let’s think about is most likely not included.
- Pay be Cell Phone
- Web based parking payments
- Use of LPR for enforcement
- Individual space monitoring
- Intelligent signage
- Multispace meters
- Pay by Credit Card
- Anything related to Don Shoup’s theories
- On Street Valet
And I’m certain that any cost projections or summaries will be woefully out of date. All that having been said, there is most likely a good set of basics that would help any downtown community. Time for the ITE to update? Yep.

Can you point me to more information on individual space monitoring, intelligent signage and pay by cellphone? Thanks!
Debbie — if you go to our web site, https://www.parkingtoday.com, and click on “magazine” you will find a place to search for articles by topic. Just input your topic (Pay by cell phone) for instance and you will get a list of articles on that topic. Good Hunting
