Parking Matters produced a Parking Strategy for Oxfordshire, improving on-street parking through technology, maximising efficiency, and creating a roadmap for combining services with neighbouring councils. The Car Park of the Future will be an innovative building type that must meet a set of wide-ranging and increasingly complex demands.

What we did

  • Conducted an analysis of the Council’s parking services.
  • Developed proposals for improving on-street parking operations.
  • Recommended the use of technology to enhance customer experience.
  • Facilitated discussions with the City Council to jointly manage services with neighbouring councils.
  • Provided technical documentation enabling the Council to procure a new parking management and enforcement service.

Outcome

  • Produced a new Parking Strategy for Oxfordshire.
  • Made recommendations for enhanced customer experience through the implementation of technology and improved on-street parking operations though better compliance monitoring.
  • Facilitated contractual agreement between City and County to operate park and ride sites.
  • Initiated discussions on combining back-office operations for efficiency.
  • Implementation of a zero-emission zone to promote sustainability.
