The University of Miami engaged Walker to conduct a Parking & Transportation Analysis to address increasing pressure on campus parking caused by ongoing development and enrollment growth. Walker worked with the University to evaluate existing parking and transportation operations, establish clear objectives for the campus program, and align near- and long-term strategies with those goals.
To begin the process, Walker conducted consultations with University stakeholders to better understand existing conditions, operational priorities, and opportunities for improvement. The analysis focused first on policy and operational enhancements that could make better use of existing resources before considering additional investments in technology or infrastructure.
Walker then evaluated the University’s parking and mobility program across operations, system structure, transportation alternatives, and technology. The assessment identified effective practices already in place as well as areas where policies, processes, and management strategies could be improved.
Walker’s analysis and recommendations provided clarity around:
- Parking policies and operational practices
- Use and distribution of existing parking resources
- Permit processes and parking demand management
- Transportation and commuting mobility options
- Technology and system enhancements
- Opportunities to improve the overall user experience
- Future investment priorities for parking and transportation infrastructure
