Mobility Lab, the Chilton Media Group, and Vox have produced a new video on the price of parking, and "how we have historically done it all wrong" in the United States.

An article written by Paul Mackie for Mobility Lab introduces a new video that attempts, not for the first time, to explain that consequences of decades of expensive and inefficient prioritization of parking.
The man who wrote the book on the high cost of free parking, literally, is interviewed in the film. UCLA professor and parking guru Donald Shoup details the "two big parking inventions that came to dominate how we think about and manage parking": the parking meter and off-street parking requirements.
