The document summarizes NJ Transit's analysis of parking shortfalls at stations along critical rail lines by 2017 if no action is taken. It finds the largest shortfall will be in the Middle Northeast Corridor, projecting a shortage of over 8,000 spaces. To remedy this, it recommends expanding existing lots through decking, developing new parking facilities, and pursuing joint development opportunities. It presents conceptual plans to add over 7,000 new parking spaces through these strategies while proposing transit-oriented development.
