Welcome to CTRF’s 60th Annual Conference! Enjoy Ottawa

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the travel patterns within cities around the world and its long-lasting effects are still being studied. There has been research on some of COVID-19's long-term impacts on urban transportation systems, from public transportation ridership to commuting patterns, but the pandemic's long-term impact on on-street parking has not been investigated. This paper examines this through analyzing the spatial and temporal trends for parking in 938 paid on-street locations in Toronto. Two sets of parking transaction data were used for the analysis, one from May 2019 to July 2019 and another from May 2022 to June 2022. The results show that parking demand decreased by approximately 20 percent while parking duration increased by approximately 10 percent in the post-pandemic period. Furthermore, the daily patterns in parking demand and duration for weekdays and Saturdays are similar between the 2019 and 2022 scenarios. Finally, the spatial distribution of on-street parking duration within Toronto is similar between the pre- and post-pandemic scenarios. These findings indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has not significantly impacted on-street parking behaviour within Toronto in the long-term.
