RPPD Proposed Solutions Bozeman Parking Engagement RPPDs 11 Immediate/Short-Term 6-12 months Visitor Pass –Staff –Create a neighborhood focus group to design an improved online visitor pass system. Fee Structure & Transparency –Parking Commission - Allocate revenue from permit sales to cover only administration and management of the RPPD. Allocate revenue from citations in the RPPD to cover cost of RPPD enforcement. Consistency in Enforcement –Staff –Improve communication on enforcement schedule and responsibilities. Bozeman Parking Engagement RPPDs 12 Immediate/Short-Term 6-12 months Safety –Staff –Update Parking Handbook with a new Guiding Principle, which specifically states: Parking Systems will be Safe -The on-and off-street public parking systems and related programs will be managed to be safe, reliable, user-friendly, and attractive. They will complement the quality of the areas/districts they serve for visitors, residents and employees. Safety involves effective coordination of enforcement, lighting, secure linkages between destinations and quality infrastructure (on-street, in lots, garages, and alternative modes). Bozeman Parking Engagement RPPDs 13 Immediate/Short-Term 6-12 months Do not expand or create a new RPPD –Due to conflicting values/principles this type of district should not be expanded or created elsewhere. New Residential Districts –Parking Commission –If new residential parking management districts are desired, they should be managed under the Parking Benefit Zone (PBZ) framework adopted by the City Commission in Ordinance 2033. Bozeman Parking Engagement RPPDs 14 Medium-Term 12 -24 months With neighborhood support and additional funding: Collaborate with MSU & BHS –Staff –Work with BHS and MSU Parking Services, leadership, sororities and fraternities to develop collaborative and realistic solutions to parking issues in the RPPDs. Get Data –Staff –Obtain parking supply, occupancy, and citation data for the RPPDs. Align data analysis with MSU parking data. Data is necessary to have a transparent discussion with all stakeholders. Consider Holistic Solutions to Manage Diverse User Needs – Staff, Parking Commission –Develop solutions based on data that achieves desired outcomes (e.g. varied permit fees for multiple- permit dwellings, parking, game day).
