The interactive tool helps citizens and policymakers understand parking reform at a broader level and zero in on state-level legislation.
A new interactive map from the Parking Reform Network tracks state-level parking reform legislation. “This new tool is designed to provide a valuable reference for policymakers, advocates, and anyone interested in promoting smarter parking policies,” writes Griffin Stotland, a PRN research intern who led the project.
The map’s key features include:
- National Coverage: Our interactive StoryMap currently provides an overview of 64 state-level parking reform bills, including those that have been enacted into law.
- Bill Summaries and Status: Each bill summary includes a link to the original PDF of the bill, the current status of the bill (passed, pending, failed to pass), and key details about its provisions.
- User Feedback: The map allows anyone to submit a report to add a new bill or request updates on bill statuses.
