Remembering Donald Shoup (1938-2025)
Professor Donald Shoup passed away on February 6, 2025. Among many other significant achievements and honors he was a founding Advisory Board member of PRN.
Donald’s curiosity, intelligence, passion, generosity, and kindness allowed him not only to expose the critical problems with modern parking policy, but also to ignite and nurture a movement to change them and make the world a better place.
The Parking Reform Network wishes to provide our community with a place to share their stories and thoughts to remember and honor Donald.
Professor Shoup was a donor, member, and booster of PRN’s work. If you are so moved, you can honor his legacy and support the parking reform movement with a memorial donation.
Donald Shoup was brilliant and visionary. He saw the importance of something ordinary (parking) and overlooked and devoted his professional career to studying it. I believe he will prove to be one of the most influential intellectuals of the 21st century.
He was also a lovely person: generous with his time, ideas and knowledge.
Rest in peace Professor Shoup.
