description The author came to the ITE 2007 Technical Conference and Exhibit with a bias. The author was wrong. He found a completely different mindset. He found an organization of professionals seeking to inform its members on multifaceted solutions to mitigating congestion. Except in circumstances where parking availability is severely constrained, businesses view free parking as essential and motorists view it as a right. With regard to curbside parking in areas of high parking demand, there was a consensus that market pricing practices should be employed. Parking management techniques have a pronounced impact on congestion. Managed high-occupancy vehicle lanes, which employ tolling strategies, benefit from the increased capacity BRT operations provide. BRT operations can derive financial support from the revenues generated by tolls. In summary, he found the sessions interesting and informative. There is great value in having transit planning and engineering staffs participate in ITE.
