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.
What I will remember and cherish most about Don is his kindness, generosity, and sense of humor. I was lucky enough to have him on the Active Towns Podcast twice, once in 2020 during the pandemic and then earlier this year as the Season 9 Premiere (which you can watch on the Active Towns YouTube Channel). The Shoup Dogg legacy will live on, and the world will be a better place because of it. Rest in peace, my friend.
