Presentation
Cathy Leong introduced the guest speaker, Brian Canepa who is a Planner and Principal at W-Trans specializing in innovative parking and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plans designed to promote prudent sustainability and maximize available resources. His presentation was on how similar to Honolulu’s Bill 2, other public agencies have implemented no minimum parking requirements including a bill that was recently enacted in California (AB2097) that prohibits public agencies or cities from imposing a minimum automobile parking requirement on most development projects located within a half-mile radius of a major transit stop. He discussed the potential ramifications of this new statewide law along with the experiences of other jurisdictions tackling the same issue. In addition, he shared some lessons learned about the implementation and impact of these types of legislature.
Brian’s presentation is available here.
