Donald Shoup
Donald Shoup is a professor at UCLA and has served as the Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies and Chair of the Department of Urban Planning during his tenure there. Shoup’s specific areas of study are the connection between transportation and land use and how this intersection particularly impacts cities, the economy, and the environment. He’s also known to use his academic research to insight activism and so has been able to make an impact on California state law.
Prof. Shoup helped draft California's "Parking Cash Out" Law, requiring employers who provide free parking to their employees to offer comparable transportation subsidies to employees who do not drive. He also worked with the City of Pasadena, California to develop the dynamic market based parking pricing scheme used in Old Pasadena and other business districts, to pay for infrastructure improvements and maintain a constant supply of on-street parking spaces.
Shoup is known especially for his criticism of free parking, and the consequences that it has on transportation decisions, as detailed in his book The High Cost of Free Parking.
