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.
I looked up to Donald Shoup for his deep knowledge, his comedic delivery of information, his ability to hold a conversation and his genuineness.
I loved hearing him speak and seeing him at CNU events. His influence will always be carried by all of us in what we advocate for.
I’ll forever be a Shoupista.
