A new pilot program will use demand to adjust the price of street parking in Arlington County, Virginia.
Pitched as a “live pilot” by Arlington’s parking planner, Stephen Crim, the county’s board unanimously approved the program during a Tuesday meeting.
The county will deploy the new scaled pricing model in the major thoroughfares between Ballston-Rosslyn as well as Richmond Highway up until the Pentagon City area, which run parallel to the Metro’s Orange, Silver, Blue and Yellow lines in Arlington.
The Virginia Department of Transportation will fund the $5.4 million project; however, it is not designed to raise revenue, per Crim, but instead to make parking more efficient in Arlington’s high-traffic areas.
