註釋"Parking serves as the terminal facility for automobile-oriented transportation systems, but the impacts of its provision are often left unstudied. Providing too much parking in cities can undermine long-term transportation and development goals by creating a sparse or fragmented built environment. This study examines the changes in parking supplies, development characteristics, and travel mode shares over the past sixty years in six medium sized cities. In three of these cities, parking supply increased significantly over the study period, while in the other three cities parking supply increased only slightly. The main objective of this research is to investigate how these changes in parking supplies have affected the tax revenues in each city. A GIS-based analysis was used to calculate the tax revenue of all properties in the study area of each city. Tax revenues generated from parking were quantified and compared to tax revenues from non-parking uses on a proportional basis. Across the six cities, land occupied by surface parking contributes between 5% and 17% of the tax revenue that land occupied by taxable non-parking uses contributes. The analysis contained herein characterizes an important concession involved in devoting large areas of land in the center of a city to surface parking."--
