3 Parking Rates and Policies Survey The purpose of the survey is to compile and compare parking rates and policies of cities in North America These data were first collected in 2009 and are being updated annually In 2012, the following four cities were added to the list: Buffalo, NY Philadelphia, PA Raleigh, NC Winnipeg, MB This survey is not prescriptive: these data do not take into account the variables of each city s unique context (e.g., density, demographics, and regional population) San Francisco is unique among these cities with its Transit First policy and population and employment density.
