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.
