Mobility Lab, the Chilton Media Group, and Vox have produced a new video on the price of parking, and "how we have historically done it all wrong" in the United States.
An article written by Paul Mackie for Mobility Lab introduces a new video that attempts, not for the first time, to explain that consequences of decades of expensive and inefficient prioritization of parking.
