Our Future
The Department of Parking & Transportation and the Office of Physical and Environmental Planning partnered to commission a study to assess future parking demand and supply for the Berkeley campus. Below you will find the Parking and Transportation Demand Management Master Plan. We will be using this plan to help guide our strategic decisions for the future and specifically to try and answer the question: how do we mitigate the projected loss of parking over the next 10 years?
