On 16 July 1999 the City of Perth, Western Australia, became subject to a parking licensing and licence fee system and a new policy governing tenant parking supplied with new office/commercial developments. This initiative essentially increased the availability of short stay parking and limited the availability of tenant parking in the region’s CBD, the prime centre for commercial, cultural and political activity.
This paper provides an overview of the first 2 years operation of the new licensing system and associated tax together with a discussion of the impact of the Perth Parking Policy on new office/commercial development.

The leading project “mobilist” - mobility in the urban area of Stuttgart - includes first steps to a regional parking management, which will be applied at the inter-municipal level. Including all communities in the Stuttgart region, this regional parking management intends to reduce vehicular traffic and environmental pollution. The “regional” in the regional parking management refers to the coordination efforts between communities with the ultimate goal reaching an optimized distribution of parking space. These coordinated efforts should help minimize competition between municipalities in attracting parkers.

The short presentation on Park&Ride policy in Switzerland is structured as follows: I would like to start with an overview of some public parking policy trends in Switzerland. Afterwards, and as Park&Ride policies in the different Swiss urban areas are quite comparable, I will limit my presentation to one example of Park&Ride policy in Switzerland, namely the Park&Ride policy in the urban area of Bern.

The population of the Perth Metropolitan Region has grown by over 325% since 1955. During the same period the land use planning philosophy has been characterized by segregated land uses and low urban settlement densities (average of 12 people per hectare). Increasing car ownership (now 679 motor vehicles per 1000 people) and decreasing public transport use have accompanied these
changes and developments. At present there is a high reliance on the motor vehicle to provide the necessary links between home, work, shopping, recreation and education. While there are still no serious instances of congestion or air pollution, there has been a growing recognition that “continuing and expanding the current transport system will not meet the Region’s long term requirements.”

In this presentation, we show that the local authorities of the European big cities are engaged by the putting into place of a very forceful parking policy to correct the errors of past. To remedy these parking problems, it is necessary that all the concerned actors consult to agree on a movement and parking management policy which keeps pace with an organisation policy of the territory and of the improvement of public space. The rest is then no more than a simple business of technique.
