“…However, some research has been carried out to assess business attitudes to a WPL scheme and not A survey of key stakeholders, mainly transport policy decision makers, conducted in 1999 (Ison and Wall 2002) showed that they considered peak period congestion and its associated problems to be fairly serious. They also viewed a WPL as one of the least acceptable measures but most effective measures to combat the problem.…”

Despite positive experiences in Australia of utilising area wide workplace parking place charges to pay for public transport improvement, only one UK local authority, to date, Nottingham City Council has chosen to implement a Work Place Parking Levy scheme (WPL). This scheme intends to allocate the revenue raised to fund (amongst other things) two new tram lines.Acceptance by the public and the business community are seen as key barriers to implementing a WPL. The two major criticisms of the Nottingham scheme prior to its implementation were that a WPL would discourage business investment and thus damage the economy while its intended impact on traffic congestion would be minimal.Therefore a detailed assessment of the Nottingham WPL scheme's performance is essential in order to facilitate transferability of this approach to other UK and European Cities and thus bring WPL into the mainstream for funding transport improvements. This paper outlines the barriers to implementation of the Nottingham WPL scheme, and the rationale behind the chosen use of revenue and how the scheme's performance will be evaluated as a transport demand management measure, as well as some initial performance monitoring data following the first year of operation.The results to date are discussed with a view to identifying any early indications as to whether traffic congestion and business investment has been impacted by the scheme's introduction.,.

“…Rye [5] determined the structure of parking price by analyzing the influential factors of parking fee and studied how to make good use of these important factors through a reasonable parking fee to effectively improve the traffic environment. Taking different land use characteristics as the research object, Ison [6] summarized the main traffic problems in the central areas of British cities and studied how to improve traffic congestion through appropriate parking charge policies.…”

Shared parking is not commonly applied in residential areas. The reason is that parking suppliers and managers believe that there are many uncertainties and conflicts in obtaining sharing benefits and taking sharing risks. To increase their acceptance of shared parking in residential areas, risk and benefit factors were identified by an influential analysis and a questionnaire survey. A research framework based on the structural equation model was developed to analyze the relationship between shared-parking risks, shared-parking benefits, management pressure, and intentions of parking suppliers and managers. The results showed that, to parking suppliers, the risks of shared parking have the largest effect on suppliers' intention to apply shared parking by a standardized coefficient of −0.85, followed by the benefits of shared parking (0.29), and management pressures (−0.14). To the parking managers, management pressures have the largest effect on managers' intention to apply shared parking by a standardized coefficient of −0.74, followed by the benefits of shared parking (0.52) and risks of shared parking (−0.46). These results can help in increasing parking suppliers' and managers' acceptance of shared parking in residential areas.

“…He finds that solo drivers decreased from 76% to 63%, carpoolers increased from 14% to 23%, public transportation users increased from 6% to 9%, number of workers walking increased from 2% to 3%, and number of bicyclists increased from 0.8% to 0.9%. Ison and Wall (2002) and Rye and Ison (2005) look at the UK experience in implementing workplace parking charges. They emphasize how to overcome the pitfalls in practical implementation.…”
