How much revenue is generated from parking? Paying for parking, parking fines, traffic infractions?
What happens when that goes away?
At my peak, I was paying $21 a day to park my car downtown to go to work. I’ve been working from home for 5 years now.
Take electric cars out of the equation, when self drive cars become the standard, eliminating the need for parking, and preventing the need for traffic and parking infractions, where will the money come from?
I could see cities blocking off the downtown core with toll gates. You want to go in or out? Pay a fee. London already does this as a means of traffic control.
Not just gas taxes.
