Setting up shared parking operations

To avoid the perverse effects of "total privatization" and to better meet sustainable development objectives, Sareco has been advocating for several years the programming of shared sector parks during major urban projects.

By leveraging the temporal complementarity of demand between the different facilities in a district, pooling resources makes it possible to reduce the number of parking spaces built by up to 1/3.

When we assist an operator in setting up a shared parking operation, we conduct a forecasting analysis of parking needs with the following objectives:
  • limit the cost of real estate transactions in relation to the service provided;
  • limit the urban space consumed by parking;
  • to maintain control of a strategic lever to conduct its travel policy.
Sareco has compiled an unparalleled database on parking requirements for common facilities. By cross-referencing this information with the development plan, a computer programming tool can estimate the number of private and shared parking spaces required. The network of shared parking facilities for each sector can then be defined.

Then, using a specific documentary base, Sareco can propose methods of financing and managing these shared parks.

Study of parking at the Grand Site

Sareco has been supporting the Grand Site Operation for 10 years to redefine parking around the Medieval City

Content of the missions

Sareco can support project owners from the project's inception to the operational phase:
  • estimation of expected demand based on the operation's program and the urban fabric in which it is situated;
  • evaluation of the technical and economic advantages according to the level of pooling and the planned construction method;
  • design of the principle of serving the buildings: location of the parking lot, shape, structure, access…;
  • preparation of a rationale to explain the project to the local community concerned;
  • assistance in setting up the operation: benchmark showing the range of possibilities, assistance in discussions between partners, setup scenarios…;
  • assistance in the transfer of land/ Building Permits and Tenders for the operation of the works.

Parking scheduling

The programming missions concern neighborhoods that are always different, but they all require finding a balance between ambition and caution in order to find a harmony between the supply and demand for parking at the scale of the operation.

Mobility hubs

The concept of a " mobility hub " is tending to develop more and more, within all types of sectors: business parks, city centers, park and ride facilities…
