Three suggestions:
1) MVA did a study for DfT some years ago, based on Nottingham
and Westminster, I think. You could ask Eileen Hill who is the
Director for that area of their work.
2) We did some work in a comparaitve study of different restrain
measures in Cambridge, Norwich and York; there is a short paper in
Traffic Engineering Control in, I think, mid 2000. There is also a fuller
publication on business responses, which i think is rfereed to in that
paper.
3) You should talk to Nottingham City, who are in the lead on this

Dear UTSG member
I am currently researching the issue of Workplace Parking
Charges/Levies. I have managed to locate just a few studies on this
issue: Ison & Wall (2002); Enoch (2001, & 2002); Wang & Sharples
(1999); the ROCOL report for London (2000); Gerrard et al (2001),
Clark & Allsop (1993) and related studies on cashing-out employer
paid
parking (these are generally in the American context e.g. Shoup
(1997)).
I am aware of study done by the London Chamber of Commerce
(prior to
1999), but haven’t managed to get hold of any more information on it.
If anyone holds a copy of this report I would really appreciate a copy
(I have contacted London Chamber of Commerce who cannot find a
copy).
Other studies I have references for but no further information are:
Friends of the Earth (FoE) and the British Council of Shopping
Centers
(BCSC) (both studies from 1999). Again, if anyone has any more
details on these please contact me.
Is anyone aware of other studies on workplace parking levies (or other
related issues e.g. benefit-in-kind on employer paid parking,
differential rating of car parking next to business premises)? I
would be grateful for further references on the subject, particularly
on studies (if any) on opinions on workplace parking charges since
the
introduction of congestion charging in London, or on studies from
countries other than the UK.
Thanks in advance for your help.
