<br />2003 -to date
<br />Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the American Planning Association (APA)
<br />IBI Group, Irvine, CA, Transportation
<br />parking generation manuals, and has derived parking generation rates based on specific
<br />Engineer
<br />employee and mode information, parking count data, and field observations. She has also
<br />prepared conceptual designs and cost estimates for parking garages, surface parking lots,
<br />MEMBERSHIPS
<br />and transit centers.

<br />Representative Experience
<br />Chair
<br />Orange County Metrolink Station Parking Management Study — Ms. La Point was part
<br />Institute of Transportation Engineers
<br />of a team that prepared a study for the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)
<br />that identified parking management strategies for each of the MetroLink stations in Orange
<br />American Society of Civil Engineers
<br />County. Ms. La Point compiled information on conditions at each station including current
<br />parking supply, existing and forecast parking demand, surrounding land uses, availability of
<br />Chi Epsilon National Civil Engineering
<br />transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and mode choice to access the station. The team
<br />Honor Society
<br />met with each City to discuss short term and long term plans for the station and to present
<br />options for potential parking management strategies. Strategies included pricing (monthly,
<br />Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society
<br />daily or hourly fees), operations (staffed facilities, valet service, passenger amenities),
<br />REGISTRATION
<br />technology (web -based parking information, message signs, advanced reservations), mode
<br />of access (increased transit service, bike facilities, carshare), and land use (shared parking,
<br />Registered Civil Engineer
<br />parking management districts).
<br />California No. C70858
<br />Garden Grove Downtown Parking Study Update — Ms. La Point served as the Project
<br />ACCREDITATION
<br />Manager for this parking supply inventory and occupancy analysis for the public parking
<br />LEED Accredited Professional
<br />facilities serving downtown Garden Grove. The documented existing peak period demand
<br />U.S. Green Building Council
<br />for both on- street spaces and off - street lots. The findings of the study included that the
<br />existing supply is sufficient to meet demand, with a surplus of over 100 spaces. However,
<br />some public parking areas are not clearly marked, and it was recommended that the City
<br />implement a signage program to clearly identify the downtown parking supply and to direct
<br />vehicles to underutilized areas.
<br />Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Station Parking Conceptual Design — Ms. La Point
<br />served as the Project Manager for this study to prepare conceptual parking facility designs
<br />for Phase II of the Gold Line Foothill Extension (from Arcadia to Azusa). She prepared
<br />layouts for surface parking lots and multi -story parking garages at five station sites, and
<br />managed a team of engineers that provided site civil, drainage, structural analysis and cost
<br />estimating studies.
<br />Montclair Parking Analysis — Ms. La Point prepared a parking analysis report for the City
<br />of Montclair as part of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2%
<br />growth Visioning Project. The report included a summary of the existing land uses and
<br />parking supply in the vicinity of the Montclair Metrolink station, the future conditions
<br />assumed in the North Montclair Speck Plan, an assessment of the anticipated residential
<br />and retail parking demand, recommendations for locations of parking facilities, parking
<br />structure construction cost estimates, and funding and financing options.
