Parking Management Resources
Traverse City Parking Services has taken a data-driven approach to inform parking and mobility decisions, with a focus on implementing a managed parking system that balances efficiency and accessibility. Central to this strategy has been its collaboration with the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) study, which provided key insights into parking demand, usage patterns, and transportation alternatives. Using these recommendations, Traverse City has adopted a managed parking systems approach, optimizing the supply and demand of parking through dynamic pricing, real-time data, and technology-driven solutions.
This system reduces congestion, encourages the use of alternative transportation modes such as biking and public transit, and improves overall mobility. By managing parking in this way, the city promotes sustainability, enhances the pedestrian experience, and supports a vibrant downtown economy, benefiting both residents and visitors.
