How much parking space can carsharing save?

Résumé

Providing minimum parking requirements for new developments is an important part of urban design, taking away valuable space from people in the process and giving it to cars which are used for only small portions of the day. Free-floating carsharing is a service that provides fast point-to-point connections with an increased flexibility over more traditional carsharing services, with the promise of positive impacts on the environment, travel behavior and potential car ownership. However, the impact of free-floating carsharing services on overall city parking requirements is not yet fully understood. We therefore explore the potential savings in parking space with different levels of free- floating carsharing service and different penetration rates using travel behavior patterns for Zurich, Switzerland as an example. In the best-case scenario where all eligible agents switch to free-floating carsharing, a reduction in parking requirements of 22% is estimated compared to the baseline scenario. These results indicate that we can indeed better utilize our parking infrastructure by switching from ownership to sharing concepts.
