Abstracts: This study investigates problems with current parking practices with the parking accumulation and supply survey in surat.licence plate survey was conducted to know the willingness of the potential user’s appropriate parking fee for the new services. Specific parking management strategies (short term, medium term and long term) and the way they can be implemented are discussed. The costs of proposed parking facilities, savings and improvements that can result from improved management is calculated. To solve the parking problems immediately short-term solution are recommended with congestion pricing as, operation and maintenance cost is very much less for on-street parking management rather than off-street and even internal rate of return is high in onstreet parking management.
