Searching for a Space: An Analysis of Eugene’s Free Parking Policy

Paul Leitman, Robert J. Parker

Abstract

This report evaluates the effects of a free 2-‐hour parking program in downtown Eugene. As part of the program, meters were removed from a 12-‐block area of downtown in October 2010 in order to support businesses, encourage retail activity and attract more people downtown. This report’s aim is to understand if the parking program is achieving its intended goals, what the perceptions of the business community are about its operation, and what other impacts the parking program is having on downtown.
