Parking Design Manual and Demand Model

Parking on VA campuses must address the needs of VA patients, employees, and visitors. The goal of this document is to guide VA planners, managers, and designers in the planning, design, and management of parking provisions within VHA.

This guide has been developed by reviewing state-of-the-art knowledge gathered by parking industry associations such as the National Parking Association, American Concrete Institute, Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, and the Urban Land Institute, and refining this knowledge by direct observation and analysis at VA campuses. This guide should prove useful in the procurement, design, operation, and maintenance of parking systems serving Veterans at all medical centers.
