Green parking refers to several techniques that
applied together reduce the contribution of parking
lots to total impervious cover, and consequently,
reduce the amount of stormwater runoff. Green
parking lot techniques include: minimizing the
dimensions of parking lot spaces; utilizing alternative
pavers in overflow parking areas; providing "compact
vehicle" only parking spaces; providing bicycle
parking; using bioretention areas to treat
stormwater; encouraging shared parking; and
structured parking with green roofs.
