The purpose of this Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) Division of Parking Management program is to maximize the efficiency usage and management of available parking space supply by the strategic development of a comprehensive intelligent transportation and parking system in Montgomery County MD. The parking guidance system program is designed to assist in the location of vacant parking garage spaces by directing drivers to the closest available garages and spaces by visually communicating availability to drivers. The goal is to minimize the search time for locating available parking, with related benefits to mitigating traffic congestion associated with searching for parking, improving garage utilization, supporting revenue growth, and reducing air pollution associated with automobile emission.
