Professor Shoup’s book informed many of our studies at City Planning including Parking in the Manhattan Core - some of the research behind congestion pricing.
20 Feb 2025
In “The High Cost of Free Parking,” Donald Shoup took the dry topic of parking and made it entertaining, capturing the attention of policymakers and influencing the way cities are built. He has died at 86. nyti.ms/438pjax

It was a priviledge to know and work for Dr. John Flateau, "Dean" of the @NYS_IRC . He inspired me with his dedication, but what I will miss the most about John was his sharp wit and how he brought levity to stressful situations. I will miss him very much.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. John Flateau, a luminary in the field of voting rights and redistricting. His profound contributions and generosity of knowledge left an indelible mark on this commission and beyond.
