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.
Don Shoup took something seemingly so small and showed us what a huge impact it has on our daily lives, our health, the environment, and the economy. And in doing so, he turned all of us into his disciples. He gave us the vocabulary and the evidence to make our cities stronger. Every parking reform bill or zone change has Don Shoup's name on it in some form or fashion.
