Benefits From This Source

A Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) smart parking system encouraged 30 percent of surveyed travelers to use transit instead of driving alone to their place of work.

Survey data indicate the most popular reason commuters use smart parking is that a parking spot will be available when they need it.

Lessons From This Source

Implement smart parking systems at sites that experience high parking demand, are located close to a major freeway or arterial, and are configured to accommodate parking sensors at entrances and exits to promote accurate parking counts.
