PARKING - An effective tool to manage travel demand in Transit Oriented Developments?
byKarishma Shelar

An oversupply of parking increases congestion around station areas, inhibiting pedestrian and feeder system integration with mass rail transit stations and creating an inaccessible housing market in the city. This calls for an urgent need for Indian cities to rethink existing parking norms and develop options for parking reduction within Transit Oriented Development (TOD) areas. How does parking fit into urban growth? How can Indian cities use parking as a tool to manage travel demand? 

With lakhs of new vehicles being added to Indian cities annually, there will be a high requirement of new parking spaces each year. In this webinar Dr. Paul Barter - world renowned parking expert, and Pawan Mulukutla, Program Manager, EMBARQ India, explored the aspects of parking in developing a methodology and framework for addressing parking in Transit Oriented Development (TOD) neighbourhoods.
