Lisa Clark- Bogert HOA- The HOA has been working for a couple weeks on a plan to help with the trash, parking, and crime in our area due to the over parking. The HOA would like to start looking at getting a Residential District set up. The HOA is worried that the new parking plans for downtown will push more cars into the residential areas. This being said, the Bogert HOA would like some direction from the Bozeman Parking Commission (BPC). Cory Lawrence (24 W. Mendenhall). Cory wanted to let the BPC know that he pulled the fence back to reopen the parking lot. At this time, he has repainted and re-patched the lot. With this the sidewalk has been opened also. We’re planning on having this sidewalk and parking lot open for 6-8 weeks. He will let the BPC know more after the meeting with Chuck Winn at 11a.m. Charlie West 330 S. Bozeman wanted to know for sure that there will be a parking study here during the summer when parking seems to be the hardest.

VII. Parking Manager Report
-See Attachment Exhibit 2 The Parking department is off to a good start of the FY2017. The Garage is working well. There have been some issues with connection but that should get better once the new fiber comes in. All the stairs in the garage have been deep cleaned and it’s looking much better. Lowering the 2 hour free to 1 hour free was discussed. Rich McLane from the Bozeman Police Department (BPD) has said that the calls that they get for the garage have gone down. Rocky Mountain Security has been doing a good job.

1. BACKGROUND
The Bozeman Parking Commission was established in 1974. It has jurisdiction over three
parking districts: the Montana State University Residential District, the Bozeman High School
Residential District, and the Downtown Parking District.
The City of Bozeman Parking Division includes a Parking Manager, Parking Clerk, and four Parking Enforcement Officers.
The Parking Commission has conducted occupancy studies for select areas of the downtown
parking district in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
The Downtown Parking District contains approximately 4900 parking spaces: 2292 public and
2608 private. The public parking consists of 1667 public on-street spaces with 2 hours of free
parking; 190 public surface lot spaces with 2 hours of free parking; and 435 spaces in the public
Bridger Park Garage (which was opened in 2009).
With the opening of the Bridger Park Garage and the end of the recent recession, downtown is
experiencing significant economic development. Currently over 250,000 square feet of
development is under construction or approved for construction totaling over $60 million of
private investment.
Therefore, the Bozeman Parking Commission is seeking to develop a comprehensive parking
plan that will address the future needs of Bozeman’s downtown commercial district.
The following adopted planning documents and studies provide critical context and data:
• 1994 Downtown Urban Renewal Plan
• 1998 Downtown Improvement Plan

MEMORANDUM
TO: Thomas Thorpe, City of Bozeman
FROM: Rick Williams, Owen Ronchelli, and Pete Collins, RWC
DATE: August 3, 2016
Project: Downtown Bozeman Parking Study
Subject: Supplemental Task: Data Collection Methodology Report
This memorandum presents a recommended methodology for collecting and assessing on- and off-street
parking supply and demand data, including loading and unloading areas, within the downtown Bozeman
Parking Study Area. It describes the inventory, data collection, data entry, and data analysis processes, the
type of information that will be generated, and how this can be used to evaluate existing and projected
parking conditions in the study area.
I. INVENTORY
The parking inventory will serve as a baseline for evaluating existing and projected parking conditions in the
study area, cataloging the total number of off-street and on-street parking stalls by location and type. The
inventory area map provided by City of Bozeman staff (Attachment A) will be used to establish initial
boundaries for the inventory. Revisions to the study area may be made based on input from the Project
Management Team (City staff)), Bozeman Parking Commission (BPC), and/or other interested and affected
stakeholders.
Methodology for On-Street Inventory
1. Use of aerial map to identify all on-street parking stalls in the
study area.
2. Assign a unique number to each city block within the
area (see Figure 1 at right).
3. Format the inventory template to include each block
face, with the appropriate number of stalls
designated by time restriction (see example,
Attachment B). The template will include columns
that identify:

Figure 2: Parking Inventory Diagram
4. Exhibit 2
a. Block # (see Figure 2, next page)
b. Space # (see Figure 2)
c. Time of day (usually in one-hour increments over the period that the City elects to
conduct its survey, e.g. 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.
d. Type of space by time restriction.
5. Conduct field verification to catalog all on-street
spaces in the study area. Use a measuring wheel to
estimate the number of stalls on block faces that lack
striping.
6. Incorporate initial and field-verified counts into the final
inventory template.
Methodology for Off-Street Inventory
1. Use of aerial map to identify all parking sites in the study
area.
2. Correlate the map to GIS shape files of tax lots to
determine the relationship of buildings to parking areas
(see example, Figure 3).
3. Assign unique descriptors to each building/parking site.
4. Create an inventory template that includes information on each site–descriptor, building name,
address, type of use, number of parking stalls, etc. The template will be created in Microsoft Excel.
5. Use aerial maps to count stalls by site.
6. Incorporate these initial counts into the inventory template (see example, Attachment C).
7. Record issues related to specific sites (e.g., tree cover, shade, etc.,) that limit a full count of stalls on
site. These issues will be resolved through field verification.
8. Conduct field verification to catalog all off-street spaces in the study area.

II. DATA COLLECTION
Data collection will provide the information necessary to evaluate existing and projected parking conditions
in the study area. Data will include the total number of vehicles parked in the study area over the course of
the selected data collection day(s), with stalls denoted by location and type.
Methodology for On-Street Data Collection
1. Field-verify all information from the inventory related to on-street stalls.
2. Finalize an on-street inventory/data collection template (see example, Attachment B).
3. Develop route maps based on the most efficient format for collecting data (see example,
Attachment D).
a. At sites where stalls are time-limited, data collection templates will be modified to allow for the
collection of hourly license plate data, as requested.
4. Collaborate with the City to determine data collection survey dates and hours.
5. Schedule surveyors.
6. Surveyors will survey each on-street stall in the study area on days representing a “typical weekday”
and a “typical weekend day”. Surveyors will record the license plate number for any vehicle parked
in a time-limited stall.
7. Data will be collected each hour on the hour for a period of at least 10 hours.
Methodology for Off-Street Data Collection
1. Collaborate with all advisory groups to determine an appropriate process for notifying affected
private property sites of the data collection effort.
2. Field-verify all information related to parking sites.
a. Field verification will address issues raised in the inventory phase and identify sites with unique
characteristics to be surveyed during data collection (e.g., time-limited visitor stalls, handicap
stalls, etc.).
3. Finalize an off-street inventory template (see example, Attachment B).
4. Develop route maps based on the most efficient format for collecting data at off-street parking sites
(oftentimes, off-street routes are best conducted in a vehicle).
5. Develop templates to collect occupancy information over a 10-hour study period.
a. At sites where stalls are time-limited, data collection templates will be modified to allow for the
collection of license plate data.
6. Collaborate with City/Bozeman Parking Commission to determine data collection survey dates and
hours.
7. Schedule surveyors.
8. Surveyors will collect occupancy data at all sites on days representing a “typical weekday” and a
21
Rick Williams Consulting
Exhibit 2
“typical weekend day,” to be determined with input from the City/Downtown Bozeman Parking
Commission.
a. Data will be collected each hour on the hour for a period of at least 10 hours.
b. In facilities with time-limited parking stalls, both occupancy and license plate data will be
recorded.
9. Surveyors will record all data in templates developed for each unique site.
III. DATA ENTRY
1. All data from on- and off-street templates will be entered into a database for analysis.
IV. DATA ANALYSIS
Data will be analyzed and evaluated to derive findings for the following metrics.
Parking Supply
Parking supply data for on- and off-street facilities will be organized by location, type, and accessory use.
Parking Demand
Parking demand data will be analyzed to determine the total number of vehicles parked in the study area,
cataloged by location, type, and accessory use and described in terms of occupancy, duration of stay, and
turnover, as applicable. These factors, described below, can be quantified for the entire study area and/or
sub-areas to provide more specificity regarding use in unique nodes of the downtown.
a. Occupancy
Occupancy is the total number of occupied parking stalls in the study area and is most commonly shown
as a percentage of overall system capacity. Occupancy can be calculated for the combined study area,
for sub-areas, and/or for individual lots or garages. Where time-restricted and other stall types exist,
additional information on occupancy of these stalls is provided.
A parking system is generally considered to be full or at its effective capacity when occupancies reach or
exceed 85% in the peak hour. Where more than 85% of stalls are occupied, users may be discouraged
from parking, or may add to congestion by circling the area in search of available spaces.
b. Duration of Stay
Duration of stay is the average length of time a vehicle remains in a parking stall. For this study, duration
22

of stay is sampled in one-hour increments. Duration of stay information can be used to calibrate posted
time stays to accommodate priority users (e.g., retail customers). It can also be used to identify the total
number of vehicles, or percentage of vehicles, that violate posted time restrictions when enforcement
hours are in effect, and the rate of vehicle turnover (see below). Duration of stay is calculated by
dividing the total number of vehicle hours parked by the total number of unique vehicles captured in
the data.
c. Turnover
Turnover reflects the total number of vehicles using a parking stall over the course of a day, and is
typically measured over a 10-hour period. Parking managers use turnover as a measuring stick for the
efficiency of a parking system. For instance, if a stall has a 2-hour time restriction, its intended minimum
rate of turnover is 5 (10-hour day divided by 2-hour stall). If turnover were demonstrated to be less than
5, the system would be deemed inefficient. A rate greater than 5 would indicate a system operating very
efficiently.
d. Number of Unique Vehicles
Number of Unique Vehicles is a measure of how many customers, visitors, and employees are accessing
the parking district, and can be used as a baseline for commercial growth–more customers and visitors
correlates to a more vibrant district. A “unique vehicle” is captured in license plate numbers recorded
each hour of the survey.
e. Stays of Five Hours or More
Stays of Five Hours or More can be used to estimate the number of employees using on-street stalls,
which is helpful when designing and implementing a district-specific parking management plan and/or
calibrating enforcement.
f. Rate of Violation
Data will be analyzed to determine the percentage of vehicles that exceed posted time stays. This
information can be correlated to actual enforcement data for the survey days, comparing the observed
number of violations to actual citations issued. The parking industry targets violation rates of 5-7% as a
measure of efficiency. When violation rates are below 5%, enforcement may be over-provided and
customers may perceive the area as not customer-friendly. When rates exceed 7%, the system is
considered inefficient and enforcement may need to be increased.
g. Moving to Evade
Moving to Evade is measured by capturing unique license plates that move throughout the study area
over the course of a survey day. Such vehicles often belong to employees who move them every few
hours to avoid parking off-street or in areas where pricing is in place.

The rates at the Bridger garage we last updated in 2014. I have compiled a study on Montana parking
rates. The monthly garage parking rates in Montana average $60 for regular parking and $70 covered
(basement) for the basement.
We would still continue to offer a 10% reduction for those paying for a full year and continue selling
businesses a validation at half price, although that can change as well.
If you feel that the increase is too drastic I would offer the option of increasing the rate at 5% each year
or a standard $5 increase every other year until the Bridger garage parking rates mimic the Montana
average.
Potential Garage Rate Increases
5% each year $5 every other year
2016 $ 50 $ 60 $ 50 $ 60
2017 $ 53 $ 63 $ 55 $ 65
2018 $ 55 $ 66 $ 55 $ 65
2019 $ 58 $ 69 $ 60 $ 70
2020 $ 61 $ 73 $ 60 $ 70
2022 $ 64 $ 77 $ 65 $ 75
2021 $ 67 $ 80 $ 65 $ 75
2022 $ 70 $ 84 $ 70 $ 80

Hourly rates in the garage sit at the average for Montana and I would not recommend increasing the
hourly rate at this point. I would suggest that we reduce the 2 hours free to 1 hour free.

Parking Manager’s Report
MSU is back in Session as well as Bozeman High…. The PEOs are working hard. About half of our staff has
been through the City’s new first aid and AED training with two of us to go. All three of our new Toyota
Prius parking fleet is on the street. The old parking cars have been made available to the fire department
for training.
The garage stripes have been repainted and the gate system is working well enough. The Occupancy
graph shows a clear delineation in the end hourly parkers in the garage that I can only assume shows the
end of our tourist season downtown.
