Annual Parking Progress Report

An important aspect of the Traffic Management Act is the increased requirement for Local Authorities to publish a comprehensive annual report covering the parking service provision.

The TMA requires the publication of an Annual Progress Report for parking management. This is much more than how many tickets have been issued and how many have been paid. It should also include regular compliance surveys to determine how your operations are helping to deliver your transport policy objectives and specific details of major policy changes. RTAA can help to develop a standard document for you and act as a conduent to collect all the necessary data and create the draft report.

Good practice suggests that you carry out regular reviews of part or all of the parking operation.

Often an independent assessment is required. Here are just some of the activities for which we can carry out such a review:

• Efficiency of the DPE / CPE operation
• Review of car park assets
• Financial assessment of costs and income
• Benchmarking of operations against good practice
• Assessment of options for in house or external parking operations
• Mystery shopper activities to review staff or contractors performance
