Lauren Mattern - Nelson\Nygaard - How Parking Policy Impacts Cities

Smarter Cars - A podcast by Michele Kyrouz

Categories:

In this episode, we talk with Lauren Mattern, a principal at Nelson/Nygaard, about parking policy and how it impacts cities. We discuss street parking and demand responsive pricing, including her work at the SFMTA on the innovative SFpark program. Lauren previously served as Manager of Parking Policy and Technology at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, helping bring SFpark, a new type of parking and demand management system, to life. The pioneering $42M project changed the parking management field, successfully reducing circling and emissions in pilot areas. We also discuss off-street parking requirements, or minimums, and how they affect urban design, housing supply and the cost of many goods and services in cities. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/smarter-cars/support
