ExpressPark™
Downtown Los Angeles will assume center stage as the
Department of Transportation explores revamping the City’s parking operations to
realize its goals of increasing the availability of public parking spaces and
decreasing traffic congestion and pollution.
A 4.5-square-mile area in Downtown will support
ExpressPark™, a one-year pilot program that will infuse technology
and demand-based pricing into an innovative parking management strategy. Created
with $15 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation and $3.5
million in City funds, the project will test ways technology can help the City
realize its goals to increase the availability of limited parking spaces, reduce
traffic congestion and air pollution, and encourage use of alternative modes of
transportation. ExpressPark™, one component of the Los Angeles
Congestion Reduction Demonstration, is set to operate beginning Spring 2012. |

Project Goals |
| |
- Sensors placed in parking spaces tabulate parking space occupancy and
relate data to the parking management system
- Occupancy data is integrated with meter data to support optimized rates,
time limits and hours of operation
- Information helps LADOT traffic officers set enforcement priorities to
ensure compliance

The ExpressPark™ pilot project in Downtown Los Angeles will
incorporate several elements as key components: new parking meter technology; parking
space vehicle sensors; a real-time parking guidance system; an integrated parking
management system; and the LADOT Parking Management Center. All systems are to be
operational by Spring 2012. |
