The People Over Parking Act of 2025 allows property owners to decide how many parking spaces to include in new residential, retail, commercial, or industrial developments located within half a mile of public transit, rather than being required to meet minimum parking requirements set by state or local governments. The bill preempts—or overrides—state and local parking mandate laws that conflict with this provision, giving developers flexibility in projects near transit stations, bus rapid transit stops, bus routes with frequent service (every 15 minutes or better), or ferry terminals. This legislation affects developers and property owners building new structures or substantially renovating existing ones in transit-rich areas, potentially reducing construction costs and encouraging denser development. The bill includes no specific federal funding or implementation timeline, instead relying on property owners' discretion to determine parking needs based on their own assessments and market conditions.
