Volunteers are needed to chair and coordinate special events during the year. Sponsors in the past have provided items like space for continuing education and AICP study groups.

The APA Florida Capital Area Section is exploring a new professional development series that combines expert presentations, field observation, and peer discussion through our proposed Talk/Walk format. As we begin planning our first event focused on parking reform and parking management, we'd love your input.

We're looking for examples of innovative parking management, creative parking design, and real-world parking policy success stories. Think Donald Shoup-worthy examples right here in our communities 👀🅿️

Have you seen a great example of:
• Reduced or eliminated parking minimums?
• Shared parking arrangements?
• Structured parking done well?
• Underutilized parking lots ripe for redevelopment?
• Downtown parking management strategies?
• Angled parking conversions or other creative solutions?

What sites should planners visit to see parking policy in action?

Share your ideas in the comments and help us build a uniquely hands-on learning experience for planners across the region!
