“Assembling support for parking reform is like opening a combination lock: each small turn of the dial seems to achieve nothing, but when everything is in place the lock opens.”
– Donald Shoup

Our Theory of Change

Most people have never really thought about parking! Broad messaging campaigns educate the public about the high costs of excess parking and neutralize opposition.

City planners and a growing number of officials understand the need for parking reform, but they need public support to implement effective policy.

We provide reformers with training and resources to build a coalition of allies in fields of activism and business which benefit from parking reforms.

The local network is ready to act when opportunity arises. Increasingly, parking reforms are part of housing, climate, or transportation initiatives at the regional and state level.
