I personally would like the see the parking fee coupled with the transit fee.
Example Monthly pass X gets you free parking at X parking lot and includes your ticket. They would give you the same monthly transit pass but keep your license plate on file for parking purposes.
And I dont see why they dont start the fee off low. If there is increased demand you can then revisit it. The new west line with the parking lot at Westbrook I see alot of people wanting to park there to save money on downtown and as such demand should dictate the cost of parking at certain lots.
X lot 1$/day
Y lot 2$/day
Z lot 5$/day etc.
