There’s no parking downtown!
I always find parking downtown.
I’ll walk 15 minutes if it’ll save me a buck.
I don’t care what it costs to park.
I pay Salem property taxes so I should be able to park for free.
I feed the meter, but not in front of my business.
I buy passes for my employees so they’re not at customer spaces out front.
I’m willing to risk a $15 ticket for convenience.

Convenience and location matter most.
![Page 16: MAPC sPARKing New Ideas Parking Symposium: Presentation by Tom Daniel](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110118/5551dc59b4c905c2388b556e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is the most important consideration for you in choosing
where to park in Salem?
- 76% said ease of finding a space and location
- 10% said price
![Page 17: MAPC sPARKing New Ideas Parking Symposium: Presentation by Tom Daniel](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110118/5551dc59b4c905c2388b556e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Even at peak weekday time, there is parking available.
![Page 18: MAPC sPARKing New Ideas Parking Symposium: Presentation by Tom Daniel](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110118/5551dc59b4c905c2388b556e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Parking availability is unbalanced.

On-street regulations are confusing.

availability per block face.

Implementation• Don’t like
- paying for what had been free- paying more for annual pass
(10% discount vs. 31% discount)
- the new enforcement hours (because I got a ticket)
• Love - the low cost of Waterfront Garage- the monthly zone
(except if I used to park there for free)
- the smart meters and want more- the brochures and website

Implementation
• Met City Council objective of one space open per block in most areas
• Increased utilization in Waterfront Garage and Crombie Street Lot
• Decreased number of tickets issued
