Parking fare thresholds: a policy tool

Author

  • Tsamboulas, Dimitrios A.

Abstract

The paper estimates drivers' behaviour for changing an already chosen parking location and the thresholds of current parking fare increases that would make them shift to another mode from the currently used private car. The models are calibrated with data from the Central Business Area of Athens employing revealed and stated preference methods. They can be employed to estimate the impacts of a specific transport policy related to parking fares, and as such they are useful policy tools providing the means to estimate changes in car usage and parking locations utilisation.
