Studio Davis is a parking planning and parking management consultancy helping cities across the Northwest and beyond use parking to support vibrant, successful places.
Parking Planning That Makes Better Places.
From Parking Minimums to Parking Management…
Studio Davis specializes in parking planning for cities, downtowns, and districts facing real-world parking challenges. Our work spans the full lifecycle of parking systems—from data-driven parking management plans and pricing strategies, to development code updates, permit programs, and implementation support. We’ve helped communities across the Northwest and beyond modernize parking policy, align parking with broader land use goals, and make better use of existing supply, in places where demand is high, politics are complicated, and the stakes are real. Whether crafting a citywide parking plan, reforming parking requirements, or helping a community take its first steps toward paid parking, our work is grounded in context, clarity, and a deep respect for place.
