Question 1

Communication and pedagogy

Accepted Answer

Parking is an urban function which presents itself in an offbeat way: very consuming of space, vital for other urban functions, it should benefit from a much greater representation in the range of urban techniques.

Accepted Answer

"icon Since the creation of Sareco, we have designed parking as a tool for moving towards a cleaner, more coherent, more harmonious urban environment.

By participating in particular in the development of the SRU law, we have tended to stimulate sustainable development policies in the field of travel rather than to submit to them.

A taste for innovation

Accepted Answer

"icon About 20% of the missions entrusted to us relate to Research and Development in the field of parking.

Carrying out this work places us continually at the forefront of knowledge in this field.

Question 6

Can we guide the choice of transport modes by actions on parking?

Accepted Answer

Local authorities want to distribute the use of common resources as well as possible.

Among them, public space, air quality and sound intensity are at the forefront of public concerns. However, all of them are partly linked to the use of the car in the city. The ease of parking near the place of destination is a powerful incentive for car use.

The management of the "parking" resource therefore constitutes an effective means of regulating the modes of transport used. Intermodality

Question 7

Is the parking policy in my city center appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Behind this question lies another question: "What city do I want in terms of public spaces, air quality, economic life?"

Question 8

How to ensure the validity of user requests concerning parking?

Accepted Answer

Sareco always offers to analyze the requests of parking users according to the category to which they belong: residents, visitors, commuters, traders, etc.

Given the comfort offered by on-street parking, it is often used as a priority by certain categories. of users, to the detriment of those who have a real need. As a result, public or private car parks are only used if the roads are rehabilitated.

Cities are also combining a reduction in the space allocated to parking in public spaces with an increasing specialization of its use. Many parking spaces are thus dedicated to particular categories of vehicles: deliveries, motorized two-wheelers, spaces reserved for People with Reduced Mobility, cash conveyors, etc.

Likewise, the emergence of car-sharing frees the user parking constraints, but often transfers them to the community which must provide them with appropriate spaces.
Taking into account all specific requests is therefore one of the keys to a successful parking policy. This will involve:
• Bringing together increasingly complex needs and sometimes contradictory requirements in an increasingly scarce space,
• Supporting developments in mobility practices.

Therefore, the requests in each category must be analyzed according to the context of the neighborhood and the choices of the community. Sareco will be able to assist the project owner in the objective analysis of the state of parking and in prioritizing requests.

Question 9

Is on-street parking monitoring effective?

Accepted Answer

Compliance rates for paid on-street parking can be very different from one city to another. In comparison, the human and technical resources put in place can also vary in large proportions. However, the link between the means implemented and the results obtained is not easily readable.

Finally, significant errors can be made: thus vehicles in prohibited parking can be both more occasional and more economically useful than those in paid parking if the latter are parked for too long.

Sareco can help you better understand the situation by comparing the ratios of your city (compliance rate, number of ASVP / number of regulated places, annual revenue to the place, number of FPS issued, etc.) to similar cities, and advise you on useful measures to improve the proper functioning of on-street parking.

Question 10

Should I delegate parking management and how do I go about it?

Accepted Answer

The outsourcing of parking management is of particular importance, due to the abandonment of prerogatives that it implies, the financial issues attached to it, the durations involved, etc. Sareco can assist Project Owners in choosing the appropriate arrangement: direct management, concession, service contract, creation of a dedicated structure. The possibilities are numerous and we can enlighten our clients on their respective advantages and disadvantages from a legal, technical and financial point of view.

Question 11

How should parking be organized in my ZAC project?

Accepted Answer

Should I require the construction of private parking spaces under each building? Or rather shared silo parking? How many and what size? Do I have to respect the standards of the municipality's PLU or modify the standard? How to provide places for visitors? PMRs? Electric recharges? deliveries? Car sharing? A mobility center? How to manage the increase in load and uncertainties? Should I consider temporary parking spaces?

Sareco, thanks to its knowledge of parking practices and complex urban project arrangements, can help the project owner to optimize parking, size the necessary supply and negotiate with project stakeholders (developers, town hall, etc.)

Question 12

Is my parking project viable, functional? How high will its operating costs be?

Accepted Answer

The viability of a car park project can be studied from different angles:

Commerciality: is it well placed? is it pleasant?
Is the planned number of places consistent with the expected demand?
Fitness for use: will drivers really be able to park their vehicle easily? Are the entrances, exits and circulation paths legible? Are pedestrian traffic safe?
The determinants of the construction cost: are the usual construction ratios respected?
Operating methods: public or private use? will we welcome users who pay by the hour?
Does the car park have other specificities to take into account (reception of specific vehicles, urban integration / ABF etc.)?

Thanks to its experience in supporting numerous construction projects and producing forecast operating reports, Sareco can give the project owner a clear vision of the financial package and help them determine an appropriate price list.

Question 13

Will my car park project find its customers?

Accepted Answer

A parking project is often triggered by an opportunity: a freehold, for example.

The catchment area of the car park should be analyzed according to the liveliness of the surrounding district, the street structure and the competing parking supply (on-street and on-site). Sareco has extensive experience of different types of urban sites and revenue generation from car parks and can provide the contracting authority with a clear and justified analysis of the context and future use of the structure.
