Executive Summary
Parking Occupancy
• There are approximately 1,702 on-street parking spaces in the Study Area (B-3 Business District).
• There are approximately 612 public off-street parking spaces in the Study Area across five facilities.
• About 56% of the parking within the Core Downtown Area is 2-Hour time-restricted parking.
• On-street parking occupancy in the Core Downtown Area peaked at 85% during the weekday afternoon,
as shown in Figure ES1, and remained at or above approximately 70% during the other observation
periods.
• Total off-street parking occupancy peaked at 89% during the weekday afternoon, with all off-street
facilities at or above 85% during that period.

Parking Assessment and Next Steps
WALKER CONSULTANTS | Executive Summary
Length of Stay
• On average, parking length of stay was higher in the off-street facilities than on-street, length of stay for
all parking types other than unrestricted, all-day parking was under the posted two-hour limit.
• Approximately twenty vehicles were observed to exceed the posted two-hour time limit on both the
weekday and Saturday.
• The percentage of vehicles staying longer than two hours was slightly higher on Saturday than the
weekday in off-street parking facilities.
Movement Analysis
• Over 100 vehicles were observed to have parked in more than one place during the day on the weekday
and on Saturday.
• Re-parking within the B-3 zone, as shown in Figure ES2, is contributing to increased traffic congestion
Downtown and indicates that some drivers may be moving to evade enforcement of the two-hour limit
within those areas.

WALKER CONSULTANTS | Executive Summary
Key Conclusions & Next Steps for Consideration
This parking study concludes that, as of the summer of 2021, parking occupancy in the Core Downtown Area
consistently reaches, and in many areas exceeds, 85% during weekday afternoons. Also, while average lengths of
stay are within the two-hour time window for most time-limited parking, “re-parking” within the time-limited
parking areas, as shown in the movement analysis, is a frequent occurrence.
The “85% Rule” suggested in the 2016 Parking Management Plan as a benchmark for when to implement paid
parking is derived from an industry-accepted standard that identifies when a parking facility has reached its peak
operating efficiency and users of the system begin to have trouble finding parking. As a standalone metric, this
“rule” fails to account for other factors that can impact the parking system’s operations and customer experience.
These factors include such considerations as recovery of system operations and maintenance costs, influencing
parking behaviors to support community transportation, economic, and sustainability goals, and funding of future
capital investments in parking and transportation.
Because facilities operate most efficiently at different levels based on the type of user, basing decisions on an
aggregated systemwide analysis of effective capacity will cause core, high-demand facilities to be over utilized
while perimeter facilities remain empty. This contributes to traffic congestion as parkers circulate streets and
parking lots, increasing potential conflicts among vehicles and pedestrians and cyclists, as well as increasing
greenhouse gas emissions. Further, waiting until effective capacity is reached means action was taken too late
and the customer experience is already declining.
For these reasons, the City should consider implementing additional management strategies, specifically
implementation of paid parking that will further support adding needed parking supply and funding the system’s
operations and maintenance. This will support efficient and effective use of parking resources, maximizing benefit
for both the City and for all the user groups that rely on Downtown parking.
A list of potential next steps to be disused and evaluated are as follows, including but not limited to:
• Extending the “rolling rule” to all time-
limited parking within B-3 District to
minimize “re-parking”
• Evaluation of paid parking and its ability to
support the parking program or other
mobility initiatives
• Expanding the Parking Benefit Zones (PBZ)
to include the areas immediately to the
north or south of Downtown
• Evaluate parking enforcement technologies
and practices
• Increasing number of block faces that are
time limited
• Expansion of Bridger Park Garage
• Adding additional structured public parking
• Evaluate feasibility of remote parking
• Adjusting time limits for both on-street and
off-street parking to further incentivize off-
street parking over on-street parking
• Adjusting fines, penalties, and other parking
ordinances
• Formulating a curbside management plan
and strategies

Introduction & Background
The City of Bozeman, and the county within which it lies, was the fastest-growing area in the State of Montana
between 2010 and 2020.1 Acting as the northern gateway to Big Sky Country and Yellowstone National Park, the
City’s population increased by more than 16,000 to 53,293 in 2020.
With this growth has come economic development, densification, and infill development in Downtown Bozeman.
With this growth, however, has come notable increases in vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. Activity is
high during both the day and evening, and on both weekdays and weekends, due to the convergence of multiple
land use and user group types that frequent Downtown. These increases have placed more pressure on a public
parking system that has not added significant capacity since 2009, when the City’s first and public parking
structure, the Bridger Park Garage, came online. Constructed to accommodate the addition of up to 2 decks, the
garage capacity could feasibly be increased by up to 143 spaces. The option to increase capacity through such an
addition was studied in 2019 but has not been implemented.2
To better understand parking occupancy activity Downtown, the City began using mobile license plate reader
(LPR) recognition technology. This study provides manual occupancy counts to verify those collected using the
mobile LPR, and LPR support analysis of parking length of stay and turnover within the core downtown area
where parking is time limited.
Objectives for This Study
Having an accurate and up-to-date picture of parking activity of Downtown can be instrumental in:
• Helping the City to continue to plan for growth
• Effectively managing the public parking and Downtown transportation systems.
The analysis contained herein in this study will help the City to:
• Identify and establish modifications to the existing parking management system that will enable it to
operate more efficiently within the current supply,
• Gain a better understanding of the need for new parking, including how much and when new parking
may be needed, should the City decide to move forward with expanding the public parking system.

On-Street Parking
The City provided a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data layer that contained estimated on-street parking
inventory, sorted by restriction, for each block face in the Study Area. This inventory assumes 24 linear feet of
frontage per on-street space to determine the number of on-street spaces. Off-street parking inventories were
also contained within the GIS data but were not sorted by restriction.
During field observations, block faces where parking supply was unavailable due to construction or other reasons
noted and controlled for, as well as where parking supply existed but was not indicated or where posted
restrictions differed from the City’s data.
There are approximately 1,702 parking spaces in the Study Area. Of these, about 781 parking spaces were within
the Downtown “Core Downtown Area,” defined as the area bounded by 5th Avenue, Babcock Street, Mendenhall
Street, and Wallace Avenue. 921 parking spaces were within the remaining areas of the Study Area. These
inventories include both sides of the street for corridors on the Study Area perimeter and are comprised of full
block length faces for street segments/block faces that are not fully contained within the boundary.
Detailed on-street parking inventory, by street corridor, side of street, block face, and restriction, is provided in
Appendix A.
Figure 3 summarizes and compares on-street parking inventory by parking restriction category for the Core
Downtown Area and Remaining Study Area. For purposes of this study, some categories were aggregated. This
includes regulation categories such as 15 and 20-minute parking and overnight parking restrictions.

Off-Street Parking
Off-street parking inventories for the surface lots were also contained within the City’s GIS data but were not
sorted by restriction. The capacity for the Bridger Parking Structure was obtained from the City’s parking website
and confirmed in the field.
There are 612 off-street public parking spaces within the four surface lots and one structure intended for general
public use. Figure 4 shows off-street parking inventory by facility.
Detailed off-street parking inventory, by facility, is shown in Appendix A.

Parking Occupancy
Methodology
Parking occupancy surveys were conducted for the Study Area on a typical summer weekday (Thursday, August
17, 2021) and a typical summer Saturday (Saturday, August 19, 2021). On both days, one early afternoon count
and one evening occupancy count were performed. The weather for the weekday count was unseasonably cold
and rainy, and for the weekend count was cooler than average and cloudy. However, overall activity levels and
traffic volumes appeared to be unaffected by the prevailing weather on both days. Counts were performed
manually, with counts recorded separately according to restriction type for the on-street parking and by facility
for the off-street parking.
Weekday
Overall, on-street occupancy across the Study Area during the weekday was highest during the afternoon count.
The Core Downtown Area reached 660 vehicles, or 85% occupied, and the remaining study area reached 677
vehicles, or 74% occupied during this time. The overall occupancy for both areas combined was observed at
1,337 vehicles, or about 79% occupied. 2-hour parking was the highest-demand category during the weekday
afternoon, with 2-hour on-street parking in the Core Downtown Area reaching 95%.

The weekday afternoon was observed to have the highest occupancy across
all observation periods on both the weekday and Saturday. The overall
system, including both on-street and off-street facilities, was 81% occupied
during the weekday afternoon, mapped in Figure 5. However, during this
time 2-Hour parking in the Core Downtown Area was higher than the
aggregated study area at 86%.
The overall systemwide evening occupancy for both the Core Downtown
Area and remaining study area, dropped to 64%. At this time, the Core
Downtown Area occupancy decreased to 69% in the evening while the
remaining study area decreased to 55%.
Off-street occupancy patterns correlated to those on-street, with the
highest overall occupancy observed during the weekday afternoon at 89%
occupied, with all facilities at or above 85% occupied. Total off-street
occupancy decreased to 69% occupied in the evening, though the Willson
Lots remained above 90% occupied and the Rouse Lot was 83% occupied.

Saturday
On Saturday, on-street occupancy for the overall Study Area was
highest during the afternoon count, with the Core Downtown Area
reaching 77% occupied, with the remaining study area 59%
occupied. Combined, occupancy was observed at approximately
68% occupied. Two-hour parking during this time experienced the
highest occupation, with 2-hour on-street parking in the Core
Downtown Area reaching 95%.
Core Downtown Area occupancy decreased to 75% in the evening,
while the remaining study area stayed consistently at 59%. The
overall system evening occupancy was observed at approximately
66% occupied, however, during this time 2-Hour parking in the Core
Downtown Area remained high at 93% occupied.
Off-street occupancy patterns correlated to those on-street, with the highest total occupancy observed during
the afternoon count at 73% occupied. In the evening, overall off-street occupancy decreased to 67%, though like
the weekday, the Willson Lots and Rouse Lot remained above 90% occupied. The Bridger Park Garage reached
63% occupancy during the afternoon and 57% during the evening.

Parking Turnover & Length of Stay
Methodology
Observations for length of stay, turnover, and movement collected within the Study Area on Thursday, August 17,
2021. and Saturday, August 19, 2021, were completed using mobile LPR technology. For the Core Downtown
Area, including all off-street parking facilities, routes were collected every two hours from 12 PM through 10 PM.
Routes were collected every four hours from 1 PM through 9 PM for the remaining on-street parking outside the
Core Downtown Area.
Length of Stay
To estimate average consecutive lengths of stay, Walker assumed a length of stay of at least one hour, per every
hour elapsed, for every instance of a license plate observation within 2-Hour parking zones (off-street and on-
street), where observations were conducted every two hours. For lengths of stay within all-day parking zones,
Walker assumed a length of stay of at least two hours, per every four hours elapsed, for every instance of a
license plate observation. For 15/20 Minute and Loading Zone Parking, Walker assumed a length of stay of at
least 7.5 minutes for each occurrence of a license plate observation, with at least an hour assumed, per every
hour elapsed, for vehicles where a license plate was observed twice or more.
These assumptions are necessary due to the inherent limitations of sampling periods. The number of vehicles
observed as having exceeded posted time limits were parked in one place for at least 121 minutes and were
present during two consecutive license plate observations and represent the number of vehicles that were certain
to have exceeded time limits. However, the actual number may be higher.
Average lengths of stay reported here represent license plates observed during consecutive periods only and
should be considered to represent the maximum possible average. For example, a license plate observed once
may have been present for any length of time between one minute and 1 hour and 59 minutes, in the case of bi-
hourly observations, or between one minute and 3 hours and 59 minutes, in the case of observations every four
hours. Detailed length of stay data, including the numbers and percentages of total vehicles observed every 2
hours (2-Hour parking zones) or 4 hours (all-day parking zones), is included in the Appendix.
It is typically desirable to see average lengths of stay shorter than the allowed time limit for time-restricted
parking. While time limits prevent long-term parkers, such as employees, from occupying convenient spaces and
reducing access for customers, one unintended consequence of time-limits is the possibility of over restricting the
time and limiting the potential for customers to visit multiple destinations during a trip. Higher-frequency parking
turnover increases the potential for additional economic activity, supporting local businesses by maximizing the
chances that some on-street parking is available for customers during high-activity times.
Also, high turnover helps ensure that convenient parking is being used by the highest number of patrons per day
and not simply being “camped on” by long-term parkers for storage or taking advantage of deficiencies in
enforcement. In a paid parking context, high turnover can also help to reduce or eliminate subsidizing costs
associated with managed parking’s operations and maintenance by the General Fund (property taxes).

Weekday
The average length of stay on the weekday, excluding 15/20 Minute and Loading Zone parking, ranged from 1
hour and 9 minutes in the two-hour parking zones to 2 hours in the unrestricted all-day parking zones. The
average length of stay for off-street parking ranged from 1 hour and 13 minutes in the Willson Lots to 1 hour and
25 minutes in the Bridger Garage. The average length of stay across all off-street facilities was about 1 hour and
18 minutes. Average weekday lengths of stay are shown in Figure 10.
In all, as shown in Figure 11, 19 vehicles were observed exceeding the time limit (two or more consecutive
observations) within respective time-limited parking areas. Of those, four were along Main Street. The garage
was excluded as parkers in that facility can pay to stay longer than two hours, and such parkers could not be
separated from the data.
The Bridger Garage had the highest percentage of vehicles staying longer than two hours at 8.5%. However, the
Rouse Lot had the highest percentage of vehicles staying longer than 4 hours, at 1.6%. It should be noted, in the
context of this discussion, that the garage provides 2 hours of free parking which is then $1 per hour. Additionally,
monthly parking permits exempt permit holders from time limits in the permit’s assigned facility. Along Main
Street, within the Core Downtown Area, 94.4% stayed less than two hours while 5.4% stayed between 2 and 4
hours, with no observed stays longer than 4 hours. Average length of stay for 2-Hour on-street and off-street
parking are summarized and compared in Figure 12.

Figure 12. Weekday Consecutive Length of Stay by Percent, 2-Hour On-Street and Aggregated Off-Street Facilities
Saturday
The average length of stay on the Saturday, excluding 15/20 Minute and Loading Zone parking, ranged from 1
hour and 11 minutes in the two-hour parking zones to 2 hours in the unrestricted all-day parking zones. The
average length of stay for off-street parking ranged from 1 hour and 18 minutes in the Bridger Garage and Black
Lot to one hour and 24 minutes in the Rouse Lot. The average length of stay across all off-street facilities was the
same as for the weekday, about 1 hour and 18 minutes. Average Saturday lengths of stay are shown in Figure 13.
In all, as shown in Figure 14, about 20 vehicles were observed exceeding the time limit (two or more consecutive
observations) within respective time-limited parking areas, though not all vehicles violated the City’s “Rolling
Rule.3” This movement may indicate evasion of time limits by area employees, moving to avoid time limits by
customers visiting multiple destinations, or customers moving between multiple destinations because it is
perceived as more convenient or accessible than walking. Of those that did violate the rolling rule, one was along
Main Street. The Garage was excluded as parkers in that facility can pay to stay for longer than two hours, and
these paid or permitted parkers could not be identified in the data.
The Rouse Lot had the highest percentage of vehicles staying longer than two hours at 8.8%. No off-street facility
was observed to have a vehicle definitively parked consecutively for more than four hours. Along Main Street,
within the Core Downtown Area, 95.0% stayed less than two hours while 5.0% stayed between 2 and 4 hours,
with no observed stays longer than 4 hours. Average length of stay for 2-Hour on-street and off-street parking
are summarized and compared in Figure 15.
3 “In 2003, the Bozeman City Commission adopted a new law to prevent someone from moving their vehicle within the same
block or parking lot to avoid the time limit. Moving your vehicle within the same 'block face' - same side and same block of
street - to avoid the 2-hour limit, or leaving to return to the same block face or lot within 3 hours, may result in an overtime
parking fine. (Section 36.04.260 Bozeman Municipal Code)” - https://www.bozeman.net/government/parking

Movement Analysis
While frequent turnover of parking spaces is encouraged and desirable within any managed or time-limited
parking area, vehicles that repark in the Study Area at multiple locations throughout the day effectively reduce
the actual turnover and availability of parking. Essentially, these vehicles continue to occupy space consistently
within a managed zone, reducing overall accessibility for others.
The City of Bozeman has a “rolling rule” in place, which states that vehicles are only allowed to park for one two-
hour period per day per block face. Simply re-parking in a different space on the same block does not reset the
clock, and such vehicles are subject to citation. The “rolling rule” also applies to the off-street parking facilities,
where parkers cannot simply relocate to a different space within the same facility. However, the “rolling rule”
currently does not apply to the overall Study Area, meaning that movements to different time-restricted parking
spaces on a different block face, or within a different off-street facility, are currently not prohibited.
There are other important reasons to discourage such behavior. In a dense, walkable area such as Downtown
Bozeman, the levels of pedestrian activity and circulating vehicular traffic are very high for most of the day.
Systems where people can park once reduce traffic congestion related to circulating vehicles looking for re-park
opportunities because those people walk instead of driving to reach multiple destinations. This reduction in
parking-related traffic has positive safety implications. It can reduce the number of interactions between vehicles
searching for a space, as well as with bicycles and pedestrians, and support reductions in greenhouse gas
emissions.
Additionally, people are more likely to use off-street parking if they will be parking once per day for a longer
period of time, especially if there are incentives, such as reduced cost or longer time limits, compared to on-street
options. Also, a system where people park once naturally functions as more of a shared parking system. With
shared parking, patrons and employees are not competing to park in front of or as close to their intended
destination as possible, reducing spillover parking demand’s negative effects.
For the movement analysis, a “movement” constituted a license plate that was observed at two different points,
using geolocated coordinates, occurring at least approximately a quarter to a half-block apart or more to account
for the margin of error related to GPS accuracy.
Weekday
In all, about 14 vehicles were observed to move within the time-limited on-street parking area and stay more than
two hours, with an additional four vehicles moving between time-limited and unrestricted parking for a period
exceeding two hours. Two vehicles were observed to have violated the “rolling rule” in place. Six vehicles made
more than one movement.
In all, about 107 unique movements of a quarter of a block or more were observed across the day. However, 44
of those were non-consecutive movements, such as vehicles leaving in the morning from an unrestricted block
face and returning to a different parking space in the evening. There were 51 consecutive movements involving
time-restricted parking, where at least one of the locations was time-restricted, and 26 consecutive movements
where all locations were time restricted, either off-street or on-street. Figure 16 highlights movement statistics
on the weekday, with weekday movements summarized by type in Figure 17.

Next Steps for Consideration
The City of Bozeman’s downtown parking system has been a part of six plans and studies since 2010. Previous
studies and plans pertaining to parking in Downtown Bozeman include:
• Downtown Bozeman Parking Study (Western Transportation Institute, Montana State University, 2012)
• Downtown Bozeman Parking Study (Western Transportation Institute, Montana State University, 2014)
• Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan (Rick Williams Consulting, 2017)
• City of Bozeman Parking Study (Western Transportation Institute, Montana State University, 2017)
• Bridger Park Garage Expansion Study (DCI Engineers, 2019)
• Downtown Bozeman Structured Parking – Feasibility Study (Sanderson Stewart, 2019)
One of the consistent themes from the previous studies is that parking occupancy within the Core Downtown
Area, as defined in this document, and in the off-street facilities, has been high for many years and has steadily
trended towards being effectively full during peak times. One of the Guiding Principles of the Strategic Parking
Management Plan uses an “85% Rule” as a parking occupancy standard to inform and guide decision-making.
The “85% Rule” suggested in the 2016 Parking Management Plan states, “When the parking supply is routinely
occupied at 85% or greater during peak periods, more intensive and aggressive management strategies are called
for to assist priority customers in finding available parking. This ‘85% Rule’ will inform decisions regarding time
stays, enforcement, and other issues related to capacity management.” While this “rule” is derived from an
industry-accepted standard, known as Effective Capacity, when considered on its own it fails to account for other
factors that can and will have a significant impact on the parking system’s operations and customer experience.
Effective capacity is defined as the level of occupation at which customers struggle to find available parking
spaces within a facility. Because facilities operate at different levels, basing decisions on an aggregated
systemwide analysis of effective capacity will cause core, high-demand facilities to be over utilized while
perimeter facilities remain empty. This contributes to traffic congestion as parkers circulate streets and parking
lots, increasing potential conflicts among
vehicles and pedestrians and cyclists, as
well as increasing greenhouse gas
emissions. Further, waiting until effective
capacity is reached means action was
taken too late and the customer
experience is already declining. Enhanced
parking management strategies, whether
related to adjusting time limits,
enforcement, or pricing, require planning,
community education, technology
procurement, staff training, and other
implementation considerations should be
undertaken before a problem arises.
When considered on its own, the “85%
Rule” fails to account for other factors
that can and will have a significant
impact on the parking system’s
operations and customer experience.

Proactive parking management can significantly improve the parking experience and contribute to a more
positive Downtown experience for employees, customers, and visitors relative to reactive management. A parking
system managed proactively looks at not only the existing parking environment, but considers the community’s
master planning activities, transportation trends, and projected growth and distribution of population and
employment. No single benchmark, considered on its without additional context, represents a best practice. For
example, parking at a multi-family residential development may routinely exceed 95% occupied, but because
residents exhibit habitual parking patterns, parking in the same spaces at the same time of day, the experience is
not perceived negatively by the system users. Alternatively, it would not be uncommon for a medical center that
experiences a high degree of irregular visitors, who are generally not familiar with the campus or its parking
facilities, to received complaints of lack of parking availability when the system reaches 75% to 80% occupied.
Pricing may also be considered for reasons beyond demand management, particularly in areas with lower price
sensitivity. Managed parking systems generate costs related to their ongoing operations and maintenance, and
for future investments in capital projects to support a growing district’s transportation needs. Options for funding
these activities include one or a combination of strategies such as taking on debt through conventional financing
or issuance of bonds, by creating a parking tax district, allowing for parking payment in lieu of new developments,
operating as part of a parking authority or enterprise fund, or charging user fees. User fees, or paid parking, can
reduce or eliminate subsidizing Downtown parking management with citywide property tax revenue from the
General Fund and instead having those that utilize and benefit from it the most provide for its financial burden.
This parking study concludes that, as of 2021, parking occupancy in the Core Downtown Area consistently
reaches, and in many areas exceeds, 85% during weekday afternoons. Also, while average lengths of stay appear
to be well within the two-hour time window for most time-limited parking, “re-parking” of vehicles within the
time-limited parking areas, as shown in the movement analysis, is a frequent occurrence. For these reasons, the
City should consider implementing active management strategies, specifically implementation of paid parking.
Parking user fees will not only support management of the existing system’s operations and maintenance but
provide potential reinvestment in the B-3 District’s future transportation needs. This will support efficient and
effective use of parking resources, maximizing benefit for both the City and for all the user groups that rely on
Downtown parking.
A list of potential next steps to be disused and evaluated are as follows, including but not limited to:
• Extending the “rolling rule” to all time-
limited parking within B-3 District to
minimize “re-parking”
• Evaluation of paid parking and its ability to
support the parking program or other
mobility initiatives
• Expanding the Parking Benefit Zones (PBZ)
to include the areas immediately to the
north or south of Downtown
• Evaluate parking enforcement technologies
and practices
• Increasing number of block faces that are
time limited
• Expansion of Bridger Park Garage
• Adding additional structured public parking
• Evaluate feasibility of remote parking
• Adjusting time limits for both on-street and
off-street parking to further incentivize off-
street parking over on-street parking
• Adjusting fines, penalties, and other parking
ordinances
• Formulating a curbside management plan
and strategies

On-Street Parking Occupancy (Percentages)
Note: City-provided on-street inventory figures were estimated by assuming 24 linear feet of parkable curb frontage per space. Actual occupancy figures that exceed 100% reflect the occurrence of vehicles using less than 24 linear feet of space to park,
resulting in more vehicles than estimated accessing a given length of curb. The peak observation period is highlighted in yellow.

Dear Mr. Veselik:
Walker Consultants is pleased to submit the enclosed report presenting the preliminary potential parking
revenue, operating expenses, and net earnings associated with managing and operating a paid public parking
system within the proposed Downtown Core of Bozeman, Montana.
In the enclosed report, we project the preliminary potential annual parking demand for the public portion of the
Downtown Core parking system. The projections rely on information compiled from field observations completed
in August 2021, calibrating the anticipated seasonality of those demands to historical lodging and enplanement
data provided by the City of Bozeman.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. If you have any questions or comments,
please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
WALKER CONSULTANTS

Executive Summary
Identified in the 2021 Study, the Downtown public parking supply consistently reaches and, in many areas,
exceeds 85% occupied during much of the typical day, both during the week and on weekends. High, unbalanced
utilization of public parking supplies may limit access to the area for residents, employees, and visitors, but it also
limits further economic development potential. The City is exploring paid parking to manage parking demands,
fund the existing operations and maintenance of the public parking system, and provide a funding source for
future investment in additional parking and transportation demand management strategies. Implementation of
paid parking can also reduce potential subsidizing of Downtown parking management with citywide property tax
revenue from the General Fund. Instead, having those that use and benefit from it directly provide for its financial
burden.
This report presents the preliminary modeling completed to explore potential revenue generated by paid public
parking within the Downtown Core under several rate scenarios. The scenarios included in the analysis are
intended to identify rates that manage parking demands, provide for the ongoing operations and maintenance of
the public parking system within the District, fund additional parking, and potentially support investment in
transportation demand management strategies and Downtown access and mobility initiatives. Rate scenarios are
summarized in Figure E1 with a graphical representation of their resulting potential net revenue and total
expenses. Figure E2, on the following page, summarizes the projections per scenario in more detail. In each
scenario, seasonal paid parking (collected May through September) was assumed to reduce potential impacts to
residents and businesses and their employees. Parking fees charged year-round could substantially increase
potential revenues or reduce the rates necessary to achieve cost recovery. For example. Cost Recovery Plus rates
could decrease from $1.75 to $1.00 per hour on-street with off-street parking reduced from 1.00 to $0.50 per
hour if parking fees are charged year-round and the model still projects enough potential revenue to cover debt
service on a new parking structure and provide funding for reinvestment in the community.
The potential net operating income is presented for the overall system and broken down to show the net income
associated with the on-street and surface lots separate from the net income associated with the Bridger Garage.
When built in 2009, the garage was funded by a combination of federal funding and a TIF bond. A requirement of
the federal funding specifies that any revenue generated by the garage that exceeds its operations and
maintenance must be used to fund transit. This means only net income generated by the on-street and surface lot
spaces can be used to fund debt service on future parking supplies or for reinvestment other than transit.

Project Background
As discussed in the September 2021 Downtown Bozeman Parking Study, the downtown public parking system has
been a part of several plans and studies over the past decade. A consistent theme of these plans is the high
utilization of parking within the Downtown Core Area and the "85% Rule" outlined in the area's Strategic Parking
Management Plan. This principle states, "when the parking supply is routinely occupied at 85% or greater during
peak periods, more intensive and aggressive management strategies are called for to assist priority customers in
finding available parking." Discussed further in the 2021 Study, when considered on its own, this "rule" fails to
account for other factors that can and will have a significant impact on the parking system's operations and
customer experience; factors such as traffic congestion, duration of stay and turnover, and enforcement
practices, among others.
The Downtown public parking supply consistently reaches and, in many areas, exceeds 85% occupied during
much of the typical day, both during the week and on weekends, as identified in the September 2021 Study. High
utilization and unbalanced demand can limit access to the area for residents, employees, and visitors and further
economic development potential. The City is exploring paid parking to manage parking demands, fund existing
operations and maintenance of the public parking system, and fund future investment in additional parking and
transportation demand management strategies. Paid parking can also reduce potential subsidizing of Downtown
parking management with citywide property tax revenue from the General Fund. Instead, having those that use
and benefit from it directly provide for its financial burden.
This report presents the preliminary modeling completed to explore potential revenue generated by paid public
parking within the Downtown Core under several rate scenarios. The scenarios included in the analysis are
intended to identify rates that manage parking demands, provide for the ongoing operations and maintenance of
the public parking system within the District, fund additional parking, and potentially provide funding for
reinvestment in the community.
Proposed Paid Parking Area
Using the results of the 2021 Study, the Downtown Core has been identified for consideration of paid parking in
this preliminary revenue modeling effort. As shown in Figure 1, this area comprises 704 on-street spaces, 177
spaces located in four surface lots, and 435 spaces located in the Bridger Garage.

Figure 1. Downtown Core
Parking Demand
Based on the August 2021 field observations, there is potential to expand the paid area one block north and south
of the Downtown core to include Lamme Street and Olive Street. However, an expansion of this nature would
necessitate the implementation of a residential parking permit zone to ensure residents in these areas are not
negatively impacted by additional parking fees. Because field collections occurred during typical peak conditions
may not reflect the true year-round impacts of downtown parking on these transition areas. These corridors
should be closely monitored for increases in parking demands and potential spillover of downtown parkers
looking to avoid fees. Initially, this may be discouraged by using time limits and residential parking permits, as
necessary. Table 1 summarizes the observed parking utilization within the B-3 District collected in August 2021 for
each weekday and weekend afternoon observation, which are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively.

Preliminary Proforma Assumptions
In projecting the potential revenue associated with the public parking system within the Downtown Core, the
analysis relies on several assumptions discussed in this section. As used in this report, an "assumption" is an axiom
or proposition included in an analysis to project future performance or events. It is not a guarantee of
performance or representation of a fact that will eventually exist or be attained or reached. Because of the
assumptions' inherent uncertainty and probable variation, actual results will vary from estimated or projected
results, and such variations may be material. Additionally, unforeseen and changed laws, technologies, events, or
circumstances may occur after this engagement and completion of services, rendering this document obsolete.
Revenue Assumptions
Future Parking Demands
Based on the field data collection, Walker projected the monthly parking transaction volumes using observed
parking demands for a typical August weekday and Saturday, and historical bed tax and enplanement data
provided by the City. With both metrics demonstrating a strong correlation with visitor behaviors and consistently
trending, monthly factors were created based on the six-year average reflecting 2016 through November 2021,
not including March through May 2020. To confirm potential impacts of pandemic behaviors did not
disproportionately skew the results, the three-year average of 2019 to 2021 was compared to these monthly
factors and their projected trends through 2021. Table 2 summarizes the resulting monthly factors used in the
transient parking volumes in calculating potential revenues. As shown here, July is anticipated to be the peak
parking demand month.
Table 2. Monthly Factors Applied to Transient Parking Volumes to Reflect Seasonal Parking Demand Fluctuations
OFF – PEAK PEAK OFF - PEAK
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
62% 63% 70% 49% 57% 85% 100% 98% 76% 62% 47% 60%
Mountain towns and communities acting as gateways to national parks and areas popular for outdoor recreation
often experience a seasonal influx of visitors. Due to snow removal requirements in the winter that may add
restrictions to on-street parking and encourage the use off-street facilities, it is more common for these
communities to rely on seasonal paid parking fee increases during peak visitor months to support the financial
needs of the parking system. Seasonal paid parking can also help decrease the impact of visitor parking on
residents and area businesses and their employees. For example, the Town of Estes Park provides free and time
limited parking in the winter, with parking fees charged throughout their peak summer season. The City of
Manitou Springs reduces their initial free period from 3 hours once per day in their off-season to 15 minutes once
per day during their peak season. As we considered the impacts and potential revenue generation of the
Downtown Bozeman public parking system, seasonal paid parking was modeling to reduce impacts to residents
and employees.

Downtown Bozeman Preliminary Parking Proforma

WALKER CONSULTANTS | 10
In addition to seasonal fluctuations in parking demands, the model anticipates a 10% reduction in volume due to
price elasticity. Originally published in 2004 and updated in November 2021, the Victoria Transport Policy
Institute's Transit Price Elasticities and Cross-Elasticities notes a change from free to priced parking typically
reduces drive-alone commuting by 10-30%. The greatest reduction is generally achieved if pricing is implemented
with improvements in transit service and rideshare programs or other TDM strategies1. Of the vehicles
anticipated to be lost due to the implementation of paid parking, it is assumed that 25% will want to convert to
permits, and 75% will be lost to other modes of access and travel such as carpooling, rideshare, walking, or
choosing alternative destinations.
Meter Violations & Citations
The revenue model also accounts for parkers who choose not to pay for their parking with variables for
reductions to paid transactions due to violations and roll these violations through to potential citation revenue.
Along these lines, it is assumed that 85% of parking sessions will comply and result in a transient revenue-
generating transaction. Of those not captured, it is assumed that 75% of violations will be cited, and of those, 75%
will be collected. For this effort, meter violations are set at $35, and no other potential citation revenue is
included.
Parking Permits
Typical parking permit volumes and existing availability per facility have been provided by the City and
incorporated into the model. The City's feedback shows that permit sales are consistent throughout the year, with
several facilities often experiencing a waitlist. No monthly adjustment factors have been applied to these volumes
based on the reported consistency of permit sales. Increases result from the transient parking assumptions and
the inability of employees working the Downtown Core to move their vehicles to evade parking time limits.
Permits are capped at the availability provided by the City.
Table 3 summarizes the existing permit sales per facility, availability, and projected additional demand based on
the previously outlined transient parking assumptions. As noted here, there is a projected unmet demand for
parking permits that reflects the need for additional public parking supplies both now and in the future to support
the continued economic development of the area and the considerable growth in both population and visitors in
recent years.

Other Revenue Assumptions
Aside from parking demands, the field observations collected in August 2021 provided the average duration of
stay for vehicles. To account for the ability to pay to stay, vehicles observed to move between concurrent
collection periods were treated as one length of stay. For example, an observed vehicle parked at one location for
1 hour and 45 minutes and then moved to another location and was parked for 1 hour and 15 minutes was
treated as a single 3-hour transaction for this analysis. Vehicles that left the study area and returned continued to
be treated as separate lengths of stay.
Credit cards are anticipated to account for approximately 95% of transient and permit transactions with a 3%
transaction fee. Credit card fees are treated as a revenue reduction rather than an expense. Additionally, while
typically treated similarly, no sales tax is accounted for in the modeling. While nine federal holidays are assumed
in the model, parking is anticipated to be paid seven days per week, with Sunday experiencing approximately 80%
of the parking volume observed for Saturday.
Expense Assumptions
Annual operating expense projections for the public parking system within the Downtown Core were developed
using Walker's database of historical parking facility operating expenses and existing budget data previously
provided by the City. The projected operating expenses assume the parking system will be managed and operated
based on existing practices and through expansion of staff, as further detailed below.
The projected labor costs shown in the model are based upon estimated staffing schedules developed by Walker
using assumptions provided by the City. In contrast, all other expenses are projected on a cost-per-space basis. A
brief description of the line-item categories included in the model follows below:
• Salaries, Benefits & Workers' Compensation: The staffing plan, positions, and wage structure projected are
projected to provide for the following positions:
• Manager: 1.0 FTE, $40.06 per hour, 27.5% taxes and benefits.
• Customer Service and Parking Enforcement: 2.0 FTE, $19.23 per hour, 26.0% taxes and benefits.
• Maintenance Engineer: 1.0 FTE, $25.19 per hour, 26.0% taxes and benefits.
• Utilities: Assumes the projected cost of electricity, water, and telephone services.
• $0.0979 per kWh, based on the current average commercial rate for Bozeman, MT.
• $64.63 annual lighting cost per off-street space.
• Insurance: Includes the cost of general liability, garage keeper's legal liability, crime, umbrella, and auto
insurance coverages; the cost of property insurance coverage is excluded from the model.
• Assumed at $15 per off-street space.
• Supplies: Includes the projected cost of garage and office supplies, parking tickets, forms, postage,
replacement keycards for contract parking, lamps, bulbs, and employee uniforms.
• Assumed at approximately $12.49 per space in aggregate.

WALKER CONSULTANTS | 12
• Routine Maintenance: Includes the anticipated annual expense to maintain the electrical system, re-
lamping, life-safety systems, doors and locks, keys, parking equipment service agreements, waste removal,
pest control, and routine maintenance.
• The service agreement for parking access and revenue control systems and emergency service
agreement represents a significant portion of the routine maintenance cost at approximately
$14,000 annually.
• Sweeping and restriping represent approximately $7.00 per space.
• Maintenance of the fire prevention, drainage, and electrical systems are projected at
approximately $13,000 annually
• A CCTV System is included at approximately $3,000 per year.
• Office equipment and miscellaneous repairs are estimated at $150 per month.
• The cost of maintaining the elevators serving the parking garage is included at approximately
$2,500 annually, not inclusive of elevator permits.
• License, Permits & Fees: Assumes the projected cost for local business licenses and permits, driveway, and
other permits paid to the local governing agency or agencies.
• Licensing and permits for public operations of the parking system are anticipated at approximately
$780 annually and limited to the annual elevator permits for the garage. As a public agency, it is
anticipated that the parking system is not subject to any licensing fees or driveway permits.
• Contract Services: Includes the projected expense per space for accounting and consulting services and
legal fees.
• Custodial services for off-street facilities are assumed to continue to be provided at the existing
per space cost expanded for all off-street facilities, or approximately $1,925 annually.
• Accounting and legal fees of $3,000 per year are included.
• Waste removal for the off-street facilities is projected at $100 per month, with pest control at $80
per month.
• Annual structural inspections for off-street facilities are included at $2,000 annually.
• Snow removal is included at approximately $68,774 annually for off-street facilities.
In addition to the typical expenses incurred in the operation of a public parking system, Walker also recommends
that parking asset owners set aside funds on an annual basis to help pay for future capital repairs and
maintenance needs. This sinking fund is intended to provide for major equipment replacement and structural
maintenance and repairs, including items such as the following:
• Elevator replacement
• Fire protection and storm drainage piping replacement
• Lighting fixture replacement
• Parking access and revenue control system (PARCS) replacement
• Parking lot crack sealing, pothole repairs, resurfacing, etc.
• Expansion joint replacements
• Repairing or replacing topping membranes
• Routing and sealing of joints and cracks
• Repair or replacement of expansion/construction joints
• Major structural repairs to stairs, floors, columns, and beams
The typical annual sinking fund set aside recommended by Walker is 1% of the per space construction cost of the
facility or $250 per space.

Parking Access and Revenue Controls
Based on input by City staff, multi-space meters for license-plate-based payments are anticipated for Downtown
Bozeman to integrate with existing mobile license plate recognition (LPR) equipment. However, the specific brand
and placement and infrastructure needs have yet to be determined. Additionally, the off-street parking facilities'
parking access and revenue control systems have not been identified. This effort assumes that approximately 66
payment kiosks at an initial cost of $12,000 per kiosk that accepts cash and credit cards and $10,000 per kiosk
that accepts only credit cards. In additional payment hardware, fixed LPR supporting a gateless operation at the
Bridger Garage is included at a budget of $19,000. Management software and infrastructure improvements to
support these technologies are projected at approximately $48,000. Variations in technologies chosen to manage
the system, optional features, and vendor financing options may differ from these assumptions.

Preliminary Proforma Results
Using the assumptions outlined in the previous section, Walker projected parking the potential net income for the
public parking system under three rate scenarios. These scenarios included:
Cost Recovery The cost recovery rate scenario identifies minimum rates necessary projected to provide for the
operations and maintenance of the existing public parking system and the debt service of a future parking
structure.
Cost Recovery Plus The cost recovery plus scenario builds on the base cost recovery structure, increasing rates to
provide funding for reinvestment within the community.
Market Rates The market rate scenario evaluates a rate schedule developed based on the parking fees charged by
peer and aspirational agencies.
Scenario 1. Cost Recovery
Under the Cost Recovery scenario, parking rates are identified to provide the lowest rate necessary to provide for
the parking system's operations and maintenance. With peak season on-street parking priced at $0.75 per hour
and off-street at $0.50 per hour, and off-peak season parking continued to be provided free with time limits, the
parking system is projected to net just over $462,660 annually, as summarized in Table 4 on the following page.
However, because net operating income from the Bridger Garage must be allocated to transit service, the on-
street and surface parking lots must absorb the full burden of any potential reinvestment in the community
beyond transit. The net operating income not including the Bridger Garage is projected at approximately
$178,000 per year. This projects approximately $284,660 annually in potential transit funding from the operations
associated with the garage. While this scenario maintains existing permit rates and free parking during the off-
season, the rates may severely limit the ability to reinvest in the District's access and mobility future beyond
transit services funded by the garage. As discussed more in the Parking Revenue Allocation Options section on
Page 23, this scenario would not provide for the full amount of the debt service necessary to fund a new parking
structure. Figure 4 summarizes the seasonality of the parking revenue anticipated in the initial stabilized year
compared to the system's expenses.

Should parking be implemented year-round, rather than seasonally, preliminary modeling results in a
potential net income of $1,043,360 with on-street rates at $0.75 on-street and $0.50 per hour off-street
maintained year-round. In this scenario, $379,860 in potential net operating income is attributable to the
garage, with approximately $663,500 potential revenue projected for the on-street and surface lots.

Scenario 2. Cost Recovery Plus
Under the Cost Recovery Plus scenario, parking rates are identified to provide the rate necessary to provide for
the parking system's identified needs and generate additional positive net revenues intended to reinvest in the
District's access and mobility. Expenses include the parking system's operations and maintenance. With peak
season on-street parking priced at $1.75 per hour and off-street at $1.00 per hour, the parking system is
projected to net approximately $1,179,560 in potential net income. As summarized in Table 5 on the following
page, approximately $798,400 of this potential net income is attributable to the on-street and surface lot spaces,
while $381,160 is projected to be generated by the garage. This scenario provides reinvestment opportunity in
the District's access and mobility future, including potential coverage of debt financing for a new parking
structure, and the increased differential in on- and off-street parking locations will encourage efficient
distribution of parking demand. While this scenario does present the highest rates evaluated, they are relatively
in line with market rates.

the system's expenses.

Scenario 3. Market Rates
Under the Market Rate scenario, parking rates are based on those charged at peer and aspirational agencies.
Parking rates of four peer agency core main street areas and Montana State University were analyzed to inform
market rate conditions. Agencies included in this analysis are Missoula, MT; Bend, OR; Estes Park, CO; and Provo,
UT, are were chosen due to one or more of the following reasons:
• population served
• active downtown/main street area
• university presence
• geographic proximity to a national park
• similar climate consideration
• seasonal tourism is driven by outdoor recreation

Only the City of Missoula charges for on-street public parking year-round of the four agencies reviewed. The City
of Missoula currently uses a graduated rate schedule for its core-area on-street public parking, increasing 50
cents for every hour past the first two hours, up to a maximum possible daily parking fee of $18.50. In Missoula,
employees and residents qualify for alternative lower rates.
However, the City of Estes Park charges for on-street parking along select streets during the summer, reflective of
their peak visitor period between May and October. However, residents within the Estes Parking R3 School
District, with proof of residency, may apply for a Local Permit that provides 60 minutes of free parking per day in
paid facilities, including on-street paid areas.
The average rate per hour for on-street parking for the first two hours is $1.50. The average rate for every hour
after the first two hours is $2.64 per hour. The average daily max rate for paid on-street parking is $17.25.
All agencies included in the analysis impose a time restriction for its on-street public parking, at least during
enforcement hours, ranging from 1 to 4 hours.
Off-Street Parking Rates
Table 7, on the following page, outlines off-street public parking rates observed for the four agencies and
Montana State University.
The City of Bend offers an income-qualifying discount for monthly permits in the Centennial Garage and Newport
Ave Lot. Those that qualify for the discount must make less than $17 per hour, including any applicable tips, and
there is no requirement for the number of hours the wage is applied in a pay period.
While Estes Park does not provide a monthly permit option, they provide an option for a $10 overnight parking
pass during its seasonal paid period in one of its public parking facilities. The City of Missoula provides parking
permit options for both their off-street facilities and select on-street locations. Permits are location specific with
off-street facilities ranging from $40 to $85 per month, based on if it is a surface lot or structure and demand for
the facility. On-street permits are specific to a designated block and cost $35 per month. Four have current permit
availability of the City of Missoula's 26 permitted facilities and blocks. The remaining 22 have reached their
maximum permit allocations. Table 7 includes a sample of several representative parking facilities, but it does not
represent all of the City's managed facilities.

With peak season on-street parking priced at $1.50 per hour and off-street at $1.00 per hour, the parking system
is projected to net a potential $1,052,960 annually. As summarized in Table 8 on the following page,
approximately $671,800 of this potential revenue is projected to be generated by the on-street and surface lot
spaces. The $381,160 in potential revenue projected from the garage is required to be invested in transit services
per the requirements of its original funding agreement. This scenario provides reduced potential reinvestment
opportunity in the District's access and mobility future and the reduced differential in on- and off-street parking
locations may not have as strong an influence in efficiently distributing the parking demand as alternative rate
structures. Additional investment in signage and wayfinding may also be necessary to achieve the demand
distribution goals.

Parking Revenue Allocation Options
Reinvesting a portion of the net operating income from paid parking operations is a concept that is being
implemented in communities across North America. Proceeds can be used to reinvest in the district(s) from which
they are collected. The funds can be used to fund specific transportation demand management initiatives. A
Parking Revenue Allocation Policy for the City of Bozeman’s parking program should identify how net returns are
distributed, and the ability to reinvest a portion of the net income to be reinvested into the area within which
they were collected. The policy should identify ways to make these investments and how the funds are managed.
The below list provides examples of how communities have reinvested net operating income generated by their
parking departments:
• Additional parking supplies
• Gateway improvements
• Roadway improvements
• Corridor landscaping and design
• New parking supplies
• Reconfiguration and improvements to existing parking supplies
• Streetscaping
• Holiday decorations
• Bicycle infrastructure
• Signage and wayfinding
• Bike/scooter program
• Trail development and maintenance
• Alley improvements such as art installations and lighting upgrades
• Upgraded parking technology to improve customer experience
• Long term planning initiatives
• District security
• Free or subsidized district circulator shuttle services
• Sidewalk improvements
• Provide discounted or free parking or transit for
o Active and retired members of the military
o Personal attendants and aides accompanying passengers with mobility or medical needs
o Seniors
o Students
o Individuals with Disabilities
o Individuals that have a household income at or below an established percentage of the Federal
Poverty Level or Area Median Income
The Parking Revenue Allocation Policy could identify general guidelines for fund allocation as percentage of net
revenues rather than a set dollar amount. The final allocation and policy should consider the City’s goals for
economic development and sustainability and align with any Master or Transportation Plan for the community
and B-3 District.

Debt Service for a New Parking Structure
A new parking structure is assumed at the cost of approximately $16,590,000. The location and structure
combination presenting the second highest cost from the Downtown Parking Structure Matrix Cost Projections
was chosen to provide a higher expense projection of that would lead to a more conservative evaluation of a rate
scenario’s ability to fund the cost. The highest parking structure cost option evaluated in that matrix was noted as
privately held land owned by an unwilling partner and was therefore not included.
Similarly, to provide a conservative potential net income projection, the lowest TIF funding contribution projected
by the City was included to reduce the amount to be funded. The amount assumed to be provided by TIF funds is
$7,551,940, leaving $9,038,060 to be funded. Using the financing terms provided by the City of 3.615% and 20
years, an annual level debt service payment of approximately $642,563 was calculated.
Figure 7 summarizes the ability of the existing parking system to fund the debt service of a new parking structure
based on the net income after reserve funding of the on-street and surface lot spaces. Because net income from
the garage is restricted, it is not included in this evaluation for debt service coverage. It should be noted,
however, that once a new structure is brought online, its operations and maintenance will increase the overall the
system’s operations and maintenance expenses, which are not reflected here. To that same end, a new parking
structure could accommodate latent and new parking demands not currently reflected due to the existing’s
system limited capacity and high utilization.

Walker Consultants
Walker has worked with many mountain towns, destination communities, and college towns along the
Rocky Mountain range and throughout the United States. Through these engagements, we have learned
the unique challenges these communities face. The parking and mobility decisions you make are affected
by the environment, Town/Gown relationships, and often competing needs between your residents,
students, businesses, and visitors. Additionally, the synergy of programs is even more critical when you
have a destination center in your community such as the gateway to Yellowstone National Park and Big
Sky. Working with municipalities, state agencies, universities, resorts, and developers, the projects we
have had the opportunity to work on span a great deal of variety, including planning, design, operations,
and preservation. While the type of work has varied, the common theme focuses on the user of the
system.
Founded in 1965, Walker Consultants has completed 325 financial studies supported by over 300
professionals across its 22 offices. Walker is one of the few firms nationwide that has a proven track
record of parking system financial analysis. Our firm has been involved in many of the major parking-
related monetization arrangements that have closed in the last decade. This includes transactions such as
the Ohio State parking concession agreement, the Chicago Park’s District asset monetization, the City of
Pittsburgh downtown parking monetization, and similar investigations by Indiana University, the City of
Cincinnati, the University of Kansas, and the University of Florida.
Based on our work with asset owners and operators, Walker maintains a database of income and expense
statements for over 500 stand-alone parking facilities throughout the U.S. This database is leveraged to
ensure that our financial analyses reflect realistic estimates of operating expenses for a given market.
From a single facility to much larger systems, Walker is a trusted name in providing due diligence, market
analysis, income and expense proformas, and other services for the purposes of bond financing and/or
the sale of parking assets. In the past, our work has been specifically requested by well-known financial
advisors and underwriters including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, HSE & Co., Ernst and Young
Investment Advisors, and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC).

Revenue Methodology Summary
• Parking volume is based on data collected August 2021. Data was collected during a
representative period in the peak summer season.
• Seasonal, monthly calibration applied using and checking against the Bed Tax trends (1987-2021)
and enplanements (2016-2021).
• We also looked at the trends not including 2020-2021 to ensure pandemic did not skew trends.
• No background population or tourism growth factor applied to remain conservative.
• Sunday is assumed to operate at approximately 80% of the Saturday volume.
• Assumed 10%, or 1 in 10, current parkers to be price sensitive (approximately 125 vehicles on a
typical August weekday).
o Of these price sensitive parkers, 25% would want to purchase a permit rather than pay
hourly (32 parkers on each the weekdays and weekends).
o Of these price sensitive parkers, 75% would find alternative transportation to the area or
an alternative destination (93 parkers on a typical August weekday).
o Other than conversion of hourly to permit parkers, no additional permit demand was
included to remain conservative.
• No additional development of other new parking demand is assumed to remain conservative.
• We assumed 15% of hourly parkers would not pay the meter fee.
o Of these violators, 75% are assumed to receive a citation.
o Of those cited, 75% of fines are assumed to be collected.
o No other enforcement revenue is included to remain conservative.
o No seasonal adjustment is included in the year-round projections to reflect reduced
visitor presence (residents generally need less ongoing education and are more
incentivized to pay fines).

Downtown Businesses, Employees and Stakeholders,
How do you feel about Paid Parking in Downtown Bozeman? – There has been recent progression, at the city level,
towards instituting a Paid Parking Program in Downtown Bozeman. We recognize this is a sensitive issue for many of our
downtown businesses, employees, and stakeholders. Please take a moment to update yourself on the details below and
if you are interested or invested in this idea, please send your thoughts and comments to our City Commissioners at
agenda@bozeman.net.
• In October 2021, the City Parking Staff presented A Downtown Bozeman Parking Study
(https://weblink.bozeman.net/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=259071&dbid=0&repo=BOZEMAN), with data
collected in August of 2021 in Downtown Bozeman. It was determined that during the collection time
Downtown Bozeman exceeded the 85% capacity parking rule and the City began looking at solutions.
• Then, Tuesday, Feb. 1, the City Parking Staff presented a Downtown Bozeman Parking Proforma
(https://legistarweb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/attachment/pdf/1224739/Pro_Forma_Report--
City_Of_Bozeman--On-Street_Parking.pdf) outlining the revenue potential for a paid parking program in
Downtown Bozeman. The commission did not give full permission to City Staff to move forward with
implementing a Paid Parking Program but, has requested they return with some additional information
regarding adding supply, additional funding options and transportation ideas. In the meantime, we as the
Downtown Partnership feel it is critical that if you have strong opinions one way or another regarding a Paid
Parking Program in Downtown Bozeman, now is the time to voice that opinion to your City Commissioners.
The Downtown Bozeman Partnership will continue to keep our community updated through our weekly newsletters,
member and property owner emails and our @DowntownBozeman social media platforms. If you are not already signed
up to receive these emails, updates, and newsletters please email us at info@downtownbozeman.org to get signed up.
Thanks,
The Downtown Bozeman Partnership

Ellie Staley Public Comment at City Commission Meeting, February 1st
“Good Evening Mayor Andrus and City Commissioners. My name is Ellie Staley, I’m Executive
Director of the Downtown Bozeman Partnership. Thanks for the opportunity to speak on behalf
of the Downtown BID, DBA and URD Boards. I will note that I have spoken or corresponded
directly with nearly all of our 21 current board members and over a dozen business or property
since last week’s transportation board meeting.
Although issues surrounding parking and supply in Downtown is not a new topic of discussion,
the idea of implementing a district-wide Paid Parking Program is a relatively new concept for our
stakeholders and businesses to understand and it is unclear at this time if there is a consensus
for or against the concept as a whole.
But, as a group of board members and downtown representatives, we can all agree that if a Paid
Parking Program does get recommended to move forward with intent to adopt into policy, there
are elements of this Program that need to have direct involvement from our Downtown
Stakeholders and Businesses as this may be a hard pill to swallow for many.
First, we feel it’s critically important that the revenue from a Paid Parking Program located in
our B-3 district should stay within the district and used to support parking inventory, an
employee parking permit program and alleviating residential parking issues. We would also like
to see a robust Public Engagement Process in order for our downtown stakeholders to
participate and engage in all aspects of the development and implementation of a Paid Parking
Program that is right for Bozeman and the unique and special community we are.
Finally, we acknowledge paid parking as ONE solution to the parking supply issue we are
experiencing but, we also feel there are other solutions that are not being fully vetted. We’d like
to see a conscious effort on the City’s behalf to research additional solutions and possible
funding avenues through state and/or federal grants or programs before instituting a Paid
Parking Program.
We are a willing partner throughout this process and have significant invested interest to find
the right parking solutions for Downtown Bozeman. We are confident we can all work together
to resolve our downtown parking issues. We appreciate all your efforts to make our community
better. Thanks for your time. “

Downtown Plan Projects
Alley Project: Susan Riggs has been hired to be the Project manager for this project. We will work with
her directly to submit all needed permits and documents to the city. It has been determined that
initially we will need to develop a conceptual design. The next meeting for this project is scheduled for
February 18th. Link to Alley Concept Plan: https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dba-2021/Resource-

Maintenance Program Update
Currently we have one part-time general maintenance employee (Mike), one weekend general maintenance
employee and one part-time garage maintenance employee (Trish).
The green spider will need to be repaired before next season. Travis Barton has estimated $650 in materials to
build a new frame, $500 in new cable (guide wires) for all four spider to help prevent another failure. He is also
recommending replacing all of the garland strands, we will receive a cost estimate from Dijulio Displays. Travis
Barton is donating all of the labor costs for the repairs.
Below are the maintenance statistics comparing the year-to-date figures from this year (FY22) to the
corresponding stats from last year (FY21).
