uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #183881

Parking Garages:

Other: New idea/request for City consideration: Currently all of the city's EV chargers are in paid garages, which contrains their use by city employees, county employees, dimension mill members, and local business employees that already have a paid city parking permit for downtown surface parking. MANY more people would likely use the EV chargers if they didn't have to double-pay (downtown parking pass + parking garage hourly rates) to use the chargers. Can you create a system that allows employes and patrons with downtown surface parking permits to use the available chargers without paying for their monthly/annual permit, paying for charger use, and also paying for hourly parking to get access to the garaged chargers? The current system creates a significant disincentive to use the City's daytime-generated solar power for EV charging, as numerous communters that park downtown are not by default paying for garage access (but are already effectively paying for other/surface parking spots). Thank you for the consideration! Joel

Hi Joel, Thanks for your uReport. We are currently working on a US Dept. of Transportation grant to address precisely the gaps in publicly available (non-garage entrance fee) EV infrastructure. The grant is due mid-June and, if awarded, would help to build out the city's EV infrastructure. More to follow but know we're on this issue. Let me know if you have any questions. Alex Alex Crowley Director, Econ. & Sustainable Development crowleya@bloomington.in.gov
