About the Study

The Grand Rapids Parking Rate and Demand Study evaluates parking rates and operations to meet demand. We calculate our revenue needs using historical costs. We then adjust these to account for known increases and decreases in costs. The 2018 Grand Rapids Parking Rate and Demand Study with Draft Recommendations is now available.

We use a complex method to determine Grand Rapids parking rates and operations. Any changes to rates or operations occur after the study, review and approval. Residents, customers and the City Commission are all involved in this process.
