On-street parking

Mark/number spaces and have users enter theirs on machine (or in app), replacing stickers
Speeds up patrolling since only one stop has to be made per block (or none if officers can get unpaid spots info on computer)
Instead of choosing time, insert card at in and out
Hostile customer service to punish for staying a little bit over a long period of time (also requires length of time to be decided in advance)
Give out warnings, allow grace period
Charge market rates, but possibly low cost for first periods/raise over time
OR eliminate and allow only short-term plus active loading/unloading
Parking is something private parties can provide
Unlike street use which is shared, parking monopolizes the space
Use some of the space for stormwater treatment
Have aggressive validation program for all garages, also give out transit tickets
Work to get high-quality transit alternative that people can rely on
Portland's revenue from parking tickets has grown by 50 percent since 2005
Portland city leaders should get out of the parking garage business
