meetings, etc., the total number of parking spaces required can frequently be reduced by 10% to 30% depending on the mix of the type of parking required. This allows more permits to be issued than there are parking spaces. More aggressive incentives for"festival" parking would help reduce overall demands. It is assumed that most fleet vehicles are"on the road" during the day. The current use of separate parking areas for fleet vehicles results in many empty spaces during the day. The use of"festival" parking for fleet vehicles may also produce significant savings. However, it is considered that the "53% SOV" CTR goals are probably not achievable by 2005. A more attainable goal would be "60% SOV" CTR. This would produce 1,100 employee parking spaces, but using a 10% "festival parking" discount, only 1,000 equivalent parking spaces would be required. The potential reductions of parking space demands by better management and the "60% SOV" CTR program are shown on Table 8. If all of these measures are implemented, the total off-street parking needs for 2005 could be reduced to about 1,385 parking spaces.

Some of these will include the following: • Much more effective CTR program to meet the 60% SOV goal. • Developing specific targets for travel by non-SOV modes to measure progress over time. • Construction of highly attractive, secure and visible bus shelters /bus zones on the campus. • Negotiating with Everett Transit, Community Transit and Sound Transit to ensure direct bus service to the campus. • Providing better on-campus facilities and incentives for cyclists and pedestrians. • Developing more specific policies or incentives for telecommuting. • Providing drop-off facilities for many customer services on-campus and off-campus. • Sending jurors bus passes rather than parking passes with their summonses. • Increasing parking fees to market rates with greater disincentives to SOV's and greater incentives to carpools.
