I really liked Shoup's book. It contains a lot of practical advice what causes issues with parking, lays out bad designs that promote parking issues, talks through how to resolve these issues, and even covers how to sell it in a way that encourages people to buy into it.
> San Francisco formally adopted demand-based pricing for curb parking in 2017.
> The result was a rare win for San Francisco governance: We know from pilot areas that implementing demand-based pricing reduced congestion and parking citations while speeding up transit and increasing overall sales tax revenue. The program is now widely regarded as a model for parking management.
The SFpark program was by all accounts a huge success, and the areas where it was implemented feel a lot better off - you can actually find parking when you need it, and traffic isn't as bad there. I would love to see it put in place in the Sunset and Richmond - those areas are almost entirely free parking, and have the worst parking in the city.
