The Borough of Media Parking Committee Task Force met on a monthly basis from April 2001 to May 2002 to assess and make recommendations on all facets of parking in the Borough, which was submitted to Borough Council for their review. A diverse group of individuals representing Borough Council, the Media Business Authority, residents and businesses made up this Committee. See below for full recommendation report.

Parking Committee Recommendation Report - May, 2002

The Borough of Media Parking Committee Task Force reconvened in May 2006 and focused their recommendations on the themes of public education, encouraging public transportation, and addressing the needs of residents who live in commercially-zoned areas of the Borough. They asserted that many of the parking issues addressed in this report are the result of low usage of public transportation options in the area, a problem plaguing municipalities across the nation. In particular, vehicles containing only one (1) passenger (the driver) often place burdens on roadways and parking facilities while public transportation options remain underutilized. Media has the advantage of providing public transportation to the surrounding area. The Committee made recommendations that supported the education of the public on both public transportation and parking policies. See below for the full recommendation report as of October 2006.
