... Formal Tools Formal tools can be used to predict the outcomes of strategies being considered to address constrained parking. Three formal tools are discussed in this section -- airport mode choice models, airport parking models, and an airport parking forecast model developed based on the research conducted for ACRP Project 10-06.

... 4. Parking Choice Model -- This model was developed to analyze data on the main garage versus off-airport parking lot shares of overall airline passengers parking in the SeattleTacoma area.

... (20) ACRP Project 10-06 Airport Parking Forecast Model A model for testing resident airline passenger mode-share behavior was developed for ACRP Project 10-06 to provide analysts with a tool for predicting, at a high level, likely outcomes of strategies being considered to address constrained airport parking.
From page 53...
... During model estimation, it was observed that behavioral differences existed between business and nonbusiness trips that could be captured by using separate choice models. The two separate choice models were incorporated into the General Airport Parking Forecast Model.

... The example policy scenarios, along with an interpretation of the model results, include the following: • General Airport Model Scenario No. 1: Doubling of Parking Fees -- One of the key strategies an airport operator will consider to try to influence parking mode share is to change parking rates.

... Therefore, when airport operators consider which airports to benchmark, they should consider those with similar characteristics and benchmark against some with constrained parking and some without constrained parking. Benchmarks related to parking supply include the following: • Public parking spaces per O&D passenger -- Because the majority of parking activity is generated by resident airline passengers, the ratio of parking spaces available per resident O&D passenger is a meaningful benchmark that attempts Portland International Airport Mode Share Policy Scenario Access Mode Share Representative Base Case General Airport Model Airport-Specific Model Policy Scenario Difference Park and Walk to Terminal 10% 12% 13% 1% Park and Ride Shuttle to Terminal 15% 19% 20% 1% Taxicab to Terminal 10% 12% 12% 0% Dropped Off at Terminal 45% 35% 31% 4% Transit to Airport 10% 11% 12% 1% Shared Van to Airport 5% 6% 6% 0% Scheduled Bus to Airport 5% 6% 7% 1% Total 100% 100% 100% Note: Totals may not add to 100% due to rounding.

... There may be value in comparing the airport's mode share to mode shares at similar airports, but it is likely that the comparison will have less value than the other benchmarks listed. Table 15 presents a comparison of daily parking rates to other parking rates at the airports included in ACRP Project 10-06.
