Northwestern University Transportation Center presents:

Spillover Parking Congestion & Retail Business

ROBIN LINDSEY
University of British Columbia*

ABSTRACT:

Parking space near popular destinations is often scarce or expensive. Visitors may park in adjoining locales where they impede through-traffic, take parking space from other users, and create environmental externalities. We develop a model to study spillover parking generated by a major retailer (e.g., a mall) that provides limited on-site parking. Some customers park at the mall, some park on the street, and others who live or work nearby visit the mall on foot. The retailer chooses its parking-lot capacity, the parking fee, and the retail markup. We compare the effectiveness of four policies for dealing with spillover parking: on-street parking fees, on-street parking bans (i.e., residential parking permits), regulating mall parking fees, and regulating mall parking capacity (i.e., minimum/maximum parking requirements). Policy effectiveness depends on the severity of congestion, the amount of mall shopping by local and nonlocal shoppers, and how the mall responds.
