This paper reports the results of a stated-preference survey of mode choice under different parking fees in downtown Beijing during the morning peak period. The respondents' preferences are estimated by means of a Multinomial Logit Model. The main findings indicate that drivers are sensitive to parking fees, and that, assuming low parking fees outside the central city, the major effect of a high parking fee downtown is the shifting to parking outside the downtown area and riding transit to internal destinations (P&R.) A high degree of travel demand elasticity is found and a specific parking fee policy for Beijing is recommended.
