The report describes a parking demonstration operated by the County of Santa Cruz, California. Under the project, on-street parking in portions of the residential area near the beaches required a permit. Area residents were given a limited number of free permits and allowed to purchase further permits for additional vehicles that they owned at a low fee. Non-resident permits were priced considerably higher to reduce the high level of traffic congestion and high occupancy rate in the on-street parking spaces prior to the demonstration. As an alternative during the first year of the demonstration, a free park-and-ride shuttle system was operated with standard 45 ft transit vehicles used to transport beach users from outlying parking lots to the beaches. The report assesses the demand for each of the project elements and the effect of the project on local parking and traffic conditions. It also assess the financial self-sufficiency of the project. Finally, it gives results from this demonstration that may be applicable to similar projects conducted elsewhere.
