11. Potential Solutions
 Parking meters
 Residential parking permits

12. Parking Meters
Smart Meter
• One at each space
• Pay with credit card
or coins
• Aesthetic/ space
concerns on
sidewalk
• Most familiar & easy
to use
Multi-Space Kiosks
• One or two per block
– pay at kiosk and
return to car to
display or pay-by-
plate
• Pay with credit card,
cash, or coins
• Less sidewalk space
• Slightly less familiar
and easy to use
• License Plate Reader
(LPR) enforcement
Pay by Phone
• Pay online
• Add money/ time
without returning to car
• Requires credit card
• Can be combined with
Smart Meters or Multi-
Space Kiosks
• Requires downloading
and learning new App
• License Plate Reader
(LPR) enforcement

13.  Pricing
 Comparable to pricing in nearby cities –
Berkeley and Oakland – and reasonable for
expected users
 Option to implement Variable Pricing:
 Prices based on observed parking demand
 Can vary by location or time of day
 Help direct short-term parkers to the most
convenient spaces and long-term or more
flexible parkers to spaces with more availability
 License Plate Reader (LPR) enforcement
Parking Meters

14. Parking Meters
 Questions to consider:
 What’s the right technology?
 Could variable pricing work?
 Where should short-term parking be
encouraged?
 Where should long-term parking be
encouraged?

15.  Existing Residential Parking Permit
program is limited and
cumbersome
 This effort could revamp and
expand
 Would address spillover parking in
areas where meters are added
 License Plate Reader (LPR)
enforcement
Residential Parking Permits (RPP)

16.  Questions to consider:
 Roll out citywide?
 How to respond to different types of areas?
 Tiered pricing for multiple cars?
 How/should visitors and construction
vehicles be integrated?
Residential Parking Permits (RPP)

17.  Residential permits don’t have to require
physical stickers – just pay online and enter
license plate
 On street paid parking can be enforced
through license plate readers and
database
 Apps such as Spotfinder can help find,
reserve, and pay for parking
 Goal: not enforcement, but turnover and
availability
