Abstract
Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) were developed to promote regional approaches to transportation problems in large metropolitan areas. However, one particular aspect of the overall transportation picture—off-street parking requirements—has generally been left to local municipal regulation without a conscious effort to integrate local parking policies into areawide transportation programs. In an effort to promote regional approaches that take into account the impact of parking policies on transportation problems, a study was designed to show in matrix form the cross-jurisdictional similarities and differences in off-street parking requirements as regulated by local municipal zoning ordinances in a typical multijurisdictional setting. In addition, the study highlighted several basic overall parking policy aspects that may serve as starting points in the consensual development of a regional parking policy for metropolitan areas such as Dade County under the aegis of an MPO.
