@parkingreform.org
An org with a mission to educate the public about the impact of parking policy on housing, climate, equity, and traffic.
@parkingreform.orgParking reform works best when it solves problems people already care about: Housing. Small business. Downtowns. Adaptive reuse. Transportation choice. Public space. Have a recent local parking reform win? We want to hear about it.
@parkingreform.orgBefore building more parking, ask: Where is demand highest? When are spaces full? Who needs the curb? Are nearby spaces unused? Could better management help? Good parking policy starts by understanding the problem before prescribing the answer.
@parkingreform.orgDifferent parking problems need different tools.
Pricing. Permits. Loading zones. Time limits. Wayfinding.
Good policy starts by identifying the actual problem, not prescribing the same answer everywhere.
That’s the idea behind PRN’s Parking Cookbook.
@parkingreform.orgEvery community shouldn't have to rediscover parking reform from scratch.
PRN connects local reformers with research, examples, tools + people who have already done the work.

@parkingreform.orgA parking rule can decide whether a project works.
More required parking can mean more land, higher costs, fewer homes, or no project at all.
Parking requirements aren't just transportation policy. They're development policy too.

@parkingreform.orgRemoving parking minimums is not the end of parking policy. Busy places still need loading, accessible spaces, permits, pricing + curb management. The goal isn't “no rules.” It is less mandate and better management.
@parkingreform.orgOne of the best arguments for reform:
“Another city already did it.”
Good policy spreads faster when communities can learn from places that went first.
PRN’s Parking Reform Map helps find the precedent:

@parkingreform.orgA bigger movement needs a bigger network.
Housing, transportation, small business, climate + public space all intersect with parking policy.
PRN helps connect those conversations, and the local reformers doing the work.

@parkingreform.orgLast week PRN helped bring parking reform into Climate Week conversations about housing, transit, infill, public space, climate + emerging mobility. That was the goal. Parking policy belongs in the bigger conversation about building better cities.
@parkingreform.orgPortland is hiring a Senior City Transportation Planner focused on parking policy + planning—and this feels made for someone in the PRN network.
Curb management, parking reform, public space + real implementation.

@parkingreform.orgThis week was a reminder: parking reform belongs in bigger conversations. Housing. Climate. Transit. Public space. Small business. Emerging mobility. PRN helped bring those conversations together at Climate Week, and built relationships that can move the work further.
@parkingreform.orgcome through if you can 🍻
@parkingreform.orgToday UCS focuses on reducing driving, re-envisioning the right of way, and emerging mobility. PRN is co-hosting all three sessions. That puts parking and curb management where they belong: inside the future-of-transportation conversation.
@parkingreform.orgToday UCS turns to housing + climate: infill, electrification, growth in the Global South, and the case for climate-aligned abundance. PRN is co-hosting all four sessions, putting parking and land-use reform inside the broader climate and housing conversation.
@parkingreform.orgPRN gives local reformers maps, research, examples, webinars, and a network of people who have done this work before.
Membership helps us keep building the tools behind the next local win.
@trumbullbrod.bsky.socialReposted by @parkingreform.orgThe most @parkingreform.org coded headline/lede in journalism history 😂
Let me answer this for Norwalk: no, parking is not as important as heat, electricity, or water!!!!!!!
@parkingreform.orgA $250K parking space is more than a curiosity it’s a window into how parking, housing, infrastructure + climate are connected.

@parkingreform.orgA parking shortage isn't always a parking-supply problem. Shared parking, pricing, permits, loading, wayfinding, and better information can make existing spaces work harder. Before building more, ask how well we're managing what we have.
@parkingreform.orgNext Tuesday at #ClimateWeekNYC:
🚇 Transit Abundance is a Climate Solution
🏪 Why the Corner Has No Store
Better transportation matters. So does putting everyday destinations closer to home.
@parkingreform.orgParking requirements can make a small project much bigger than it needs to be.
More land. More pavement. More cost.
Parking rules don't just decide where cars go. They can decide whether a project works at all.
