| Timesharing of Parking Spaces | |
| Description: Scheduling the use of parking spaces among and between specific carriers, this initiative includes coordinating the timing of pick-ups and deliveries with freight carriers, shippers, or receivers, and in some cases freight and passenger vehicles. Timesharing of parking spaces requires the optimization of times for deliveries and other uses. | |
| Targeted mode: Large traffic generators/ urban deliveries | Geographic scope: Point |
| Type of initiative: Parking/loading areas management: off-street parking and loading | Primary objective: Improve inadequate infrastructure |
| Expected costs and level of effort to implement: The planning process should involve extensive stakeholder engagement and coordination with local officials, shippers and receivers of goods, the road freight industry, and other users of parking space. Changing policy and adding appropriate signage will be a minor cost; enforcement (including cameras) and reservation measures could be costly. | |
