On-street parking can have considerable impacts on traffic congestion and road safety within cities. In order to manage on-street parking, an in-depth understanding of on-street parking behaviour is required. This paper examines how land-use impacts two critical components of on-street parking: parking location occupancy and parking duration. This paper uses parking transaction data from paid on-street parking locations throughout Toronto to examine the influence of the following five land-uses: low-density residential, high-density residential, hospitals, offices, and universities. The results show that for on-street parking occupancies, locations adjacent to universities generally have the highest occupancies while locations adjacent to hospitals have the lowest occupancies. Contrary to the differences observed in parking location occupancy, parking duration is similar for all the land-uses during weekdays and Saturdays. Further examination of each land-use's impact is discussed within the paper. In addition, it is observed that on-street parking occupancies are significantly lower during weekdays versus weekends but parking duration is similar throughout the week. The results show the importance of location and time dependent parking pricing.
