San José has an opportunity right now to re-envision how we plan for, and accommodate, more housing and better transportation while also reducing our climate impact by voting to eliminate the parking minimum city wide.
ASK: Adopt the staff recommendation to prepare an ordinance that:
Removes mandatory minimum parking limits citywide.
Talking Points:
Transportation Demand Management Removing parking minimums is a key component in achieving the City’s climate goals.
Programmatic measures can include things like transit subsidies and bike share programs. Infrastructure improvements can include things such as making new street connections, bicycle and micro mobility network improvements, trails or other walking network improvements.
It will help reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by 40% by 2040 by improving transportation options beyond single-occupant vehicles, reducing carbon emissions and parking demand, from every new development that the TDM ordinance is applied to.

Call to Action!
San José has an opportunity right now to re-envision how we plan for, and accommodate, more housing and better transportation while also reducing our climate impact by voting to eliminate the parking minimum city wide. So if you want to see a better environment for the next generation and a fair policy that fits right, please tell the City Council you support the staff’s recommendation tonight!
ASK: Adopt the staff recommendation to prepare an ordinance that:
Removes mandatory minimum parking limits citywide.
Updates the City’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements to apply to all projects meeting a certain size threshold;
Transportation Demand Management Removing parking minimums is a key component in achieving the City’s climate goals.
Programmatic measures can include things like transit subsidies and bike share programs. Infrastructure improvements can include things such as making new street connections, bicycle and micro mobility network improvements, trails or other walking network improvements.
The proposed alternatives will encourage new residents and employees to reduce driving to work or around the neighborhood. They’ll cut down on the traffic San Joseans already experience, as well as hopefully the traffic deaths.
It will help reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by 40% by 2040 by improving transportation options beyond single-occupant vehicles, reducing carbon emissions and parking demand, from every new development that the TDM ordinance is applied to.
The Transportation Demand Management policies are a critical way to increase access to transportation and allow people more affordable transportation options especially to the 75% of VTA’s ridership that is predominantly people of color and low and middle-income.
The average cost for one parking space on a surface lot is $38,800 and for an underground parking lot is $96,000 per parking space. Unbundling parking costs from developments will help reduce the cost of housing.
