Pilot program for reserved LRT stalls approved

Pilot program for reserved LRT stalls approved.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, it seems unnecessary, since most (all?) of the LRT park and ride lots fill up quickly every weekday morning.

On the other hand, there are people who will pay for these spots, and the revenue generated will mean more money in the pockets of ETS and, hopefully, better service in the long run.

18% of the stalls seems like a lot, though. Are there that many people willing to pay forĀ guaranteedĀ parking at LRT stations, or will this result in a bunch of stalls sitting empty, in effect discouraging transit use?
