The Austin Transportation Department is pursuing a multiyear parking pilot to reduce the impact of parking during construction at downtown sites.
In a Jan. 2 memo, Transportation Director Robert Spillar said the Downtown Construction Workers Parking Pilot is partially based on a similar program that surveyed construction workers and employers about their commute and parking habits for a few months during construction at 405 Colorado St.
For the upcoming pilot, the department will identify large construction projects and survey workers and employers over the entire duration of construction, between two and three years. At the same time, general contractors for those sites will enter into an agreement with the city to create and carry out a Construction Personnel Parking Mitigation Plan. While continuing to focus on commutes and parking behaviors, the surveys will also be used to determine if the program is effective enough for permanent adoption.
