The parking management strategies toolbox provides public and private stakeholders building, managing, and regulating parking with best practices on parking management. The toolbox is organized around the two goals of optimizing parking use or reducing its demand and a category for both of those goals applied toward future development as outlined below:

1. Optimize Use: Strategies that improve efficiency of using the parking supply without redevelopment or new development at current sites. 
2. Reduce Demand: Efforts to reduce the number of parking spaces needed and used at current sites. 
3. Future Development: Strategies that either reduce or optimize demand but are dependent on redevelopment or new development. 

Each strategy in this Toolbox includes a brief definition, key benefits, implementation considerations, and relevant case studies from North Texas and beyond. 

Finally, each strategy page highlights how technology may be applied. You will find more details on all applicable technologies in the Parking Technology Guide.
