Parking and Transportation Study Services

The Vendor is required to provide a comprehensive parking and transportation study for the area surrounding the university campus.
- Professional consulting services that will evaluate existing parking conditions, analyze parking demand, assess future needs driven by ongoing and planned apartment and mixed-use developments, and provide recommendations to guide future multimodal transportation planning, infrastructure investment, and policy decisions.
- Data Collection & Analysis
•    Conduct comprehensive data collection of the current parking inventory and utilization within the study area. Some data may be available from university and the City entities.
