His pre- vious work on the subject of parking includes PAS Memo, August 1998, “Re- thinking Parking Policies and Regulations.” The editors and author thank Michael Orange, a transportation demand management planner in the Minneapolis City Planning Department, and Chris Luz, PE, AICP, vice president and national director of parking ser- vices for HNTB Corporation for their helpful comments and suggestions on that chapter. The editors thank PAS research associates, Barry Bain, AICP, and Anne Loucks, and former PAS research assistants, Heather Campbell and Nate Hutcheson, for their help in compiling these standards. This survey of parking standards was made possible by the fees paid by PAS subscribers; the PAS staff wants to take this opportunity to thank our subscribers for supporting our work. We hope that what we return to you in the PAS Reports, PAS Memos, and the inquiry responses reflect not just our desire to give you the best planning information available but that it makes you all consider the complex and demanding work that you and other planners do. This report was generated by your need for parking stan- dards. To satisfy that need, we turn back to the work you do. These stan- dards come exclusively from planners working at the local level. PAS ser- vices attempt to bring you all closer to each other’s work and achievements by letting you know what others are doing in the field. We hope you are as appreciative of those efforts as we are. Cover design by Lisa Barton; this report is printed on recyclable paper. All photos by Michael Davidson. 116
