CALIFORNIA: LA Express Park Performance Parking System Implementation in Westwood
The implementation of a performance parking system in Westwood Village is an extension of the intelligent parking system developed for downtown Los Angeles. The downtown project, LA Express Park, began operations in May 2012. The project used demand-based pricing for on-street parking and real-time parking availability to improve the utilization of parking spaces. In areas of high demand for on-street parking, the price was increased and in areas of low demand, the price was lowered. The public is informed of parking availability and current pricing through the parking guidance system.
The goals of the program are to: increase the availability of on-street parking, reduce traffic congestion and associated pollution, encourage a shift in travel choices, and improve the customer experience.
