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.
He was so generous with his time and words.
Just last year he made a surprise guest appearance (via Zoom, facilitated by Tony) to our small city’s neighborhood revitalization committee as they considered eliminating parking mandates.
And I’ll always be grateful for the kind words he offered for “Spot’s Parking Lot,” which I boldly just sent him in the mail out of nowhere.
