Beyond Parking Mandates
Data and Insights on the Growing Movement to Break Free from Parking Mandates
For decades, little-known rules in local zoning codes have been reshaping cities around cars. Requirements that every new home or business have a pre-determined number of parking spaces have inflated housing costs, killed small businesses, and made our most charming and historic Main Streets illegal to build today. Many of those mandatory parking spaces hardly even get used.
That’s why policymakers across Cascadia are leading the way to erase these outdated rules, restoring the rights of property owners and allowing towns to gradually become more walkable over the years. Parking reform has spread across the snowy suburbs of Anchorage, Alaska to the halls of Oregon’s capitol where policymakers adopted state-level prohibitions of parking mandates in 2022.
Sightline’s new series picks up where Parking? Lots! left off a decade ago: reporting on the surging bipartisan movement to roll back parking mandates, and sharing new data and insights from jurisdictions that have already made this policy change.
New to parking minimums? Our friends at Strong Towns included our reporting on Fayetteville’s parking reform in its excellent explainer video:
