CROW - Parking policy in the Netherlands

Parking policy in the Netherlands A knowledge-based perspective Marco van Burgsteden CROW project manager

All traffic movements start and end with parking

• Cars • Bicycles • Also in ‘chained’ mobility – Multimodal trips – MaaS • Policy needed to connect the dots – Relation to spatial planning – Public interests

Using knowledge development to improve parking policy

• Dutch publications on policy – Parking and sustainable spatial development – Parking and spatial planning – Parking and behaviour

• Dutch publications on measures – – – –

Parking demand calculator Parking demand baseline figures How to make parking norms (minimum, maximum, etc.)

Parking handbook

• Dutch publications on design (on-street) – ASVV (handbook for road design in the city)

Spatial planning

• SUMP inherently seems to view traffic as a ‘given’ • Spatial Planning is easily overlooked when formulating goals and policy measures on sustainable mobility • Spatial Planning is closely related to car dependency • Density is closely related to walkability/cyclability and Public Transit exploitation • Since Parking is thematically often linked to spatial planning, its role in a SUMP is bound to be underestimated

The parking problems originate in (bad) spatial planning

Parking management and behavioural aspects

Behavioural Determinants for Parking Policy

• Attractiveness of the destination/the unavoidability of the trip/alternative modes available • • • • • • • •

Walking time and distance towards the destination/quality of the route Parking fees Parking occupancy Parking time limits Type and quality of the parking area Sense of safety in and around the parking space Ease of payment and reservation Chances of being caught when parking illegally

This is CROW •

We help to outline public space in the Netherlands with guidelines, education and practical tooling
