D.C. 20348 B-168096 0 6 1975 The Honorable Alan Cranston United States Senate Dear Senator Cranston: This is in response to your inquiry am to w. . . Whether there should be a coaistent policy on employee parking among Federal agencies. Currently there are no legal requirements that employ*#s of dif- ferent agencies have proportionately equal amounts of Government parking spaces available to them. jwthermore, as we have acct in a number of our decisios (-l68096jfJanuary 5, 1973; B-155817, (arch 11, 1966; 43 Camp.

GSA must take account of the following factors: *(1) The availability and capability of public transportation, and the proportion of employees likely to use it; (2) the average autber of persons per automobile; (3) the availability of on-and off- street parking, both public and private, in the vicinity; djk
