Tacoma: Three Vacant Positions on the Parking Technical Advisory Group
Washingtoner/10246707

~ The Parking Technical Advisory Group (PTAG) in Tacoma, Washington is currently seeking applicants to fill three vacant positions. The group, which reviews current parking policies and their impact on transportation users, is looking for individuals who are active users of Tacoma's transportation system. The appointed members will serve a two-year term from December 2023 to December 2025.

According to PTAG Co-Chair Steph Farber, the downtown parking system is still adjusting to the "new normal" of post-pandemic life. As such, there is much to be learned about the evolving needs of transportation users and what policies and technologies are needed to improve their access and enhance the quality of life in the community.

The mission of PTAG is to provide informed and fair recommendations to the City Manager on managing the City's parking resources. These recommendations are based on data from multiple community sources and aim to efficiently and effectively manage limited parking resources.
