Strategies to Address Constrained Employee Parking Strategies to manage or resolve constrained employee parking include increasing capacity, improving the use of existing facilities, and offering alternatives to the drive-alone commute. Potential outcomes from each of the strategies to resolve constrained employee parking are similar to those described for public parking constraints in Chapter 5 -- an airport operator should consider the financial, vehicle traffic, environmental (vehicle emissions)

Reassign Parking Facilities If an airport's employee parking supply is provided in more than one location and some facilities are constrained while others have excess capacity, an airport operator can reassign Employee Parking at McCarran International Airport Over 20,300 employees work at McCarran International Airport (LAS) , which includes 1,200 employees in the Clark County Department of Aviation (the operator of LAS)

Because employees of the airport operator typically account for a comparatively small share of the total airport employee population, the effectiveness of any policies implemented to encourage the use of other access modes may be limited. Table 31 shows that for the representative airports participating in ACRP Project 10-06, employees of the airport operator typically account for less than 10% of the total employee population at the airport.

This service could supplement public transit during hours when transit service is not available. Discounts on Private HOV Services Offer discounts on privately operated HOV services.

Vanpool Program An airport operator, an individual employer, or a TMA may provide incentives to employees to form vanpools, including the provision of vans, subsidized fuel, free parking, preferential parking, and vanpool matching. Regardless of who sponsors the vanpool program, participation in the Reducing the Single-Occupant Commute at San Diego International Airport San Diego County Regional Airport Authority employees are eligible for a subsidy of half their transit fare.

Discounts on Private HOV Services The airport operator, TMA, or private HOV operators may offer discounts on privately operated HOV services to airport employees. The discount may be on a per trip basis, or involve the purchase of a monthly pass or multiple trips to receive the discount.

can be determined through manual counts at the entrance or exit to employee parking facilities or through counts of employees using shuttle buses serving remote employee parking lots. The vehicle occupancy data should be directly correlated with vehicle traffic counts collected concurrently with the occupancy counts.

The airport operator should consider how changes in each category relate to the goals and objectives for the employee parking program to determine the acceptability of the strategies implemented. Employee Parking Activity The ultimate goal of strategies to address constrained employee parking is to reduce or resolve parking constraints.

When employee commute choices shift among the single-occupant private automobile, carpooling, vanpooling, and HOV modes, it affects vehicle traffic volumes. Strategies for the resolution of constrained employee parking could improve vehicle traffic on the airport roadways and in the region if the number of vehicle trips decreased.
