According to the ITE's Parking Generation, medical centers have a peak space factor of how many spaces per employee?

• A. 0.10 - 0.75 spaces per employee
• B. 0.05 - 1.0 spaces per employee
• C. 0.75 - 1.0 spaces per employee
• D. 1.0 - 2.0 spaces per employee

Answer: (A)

Understanding how ITE Parking Generation translates staff size into parking demand for medical centers is the idea this item tests. For medical centers, the peak space factor is typically in the range of 0.10 to 0.75 spaces per employee. This reflects that at the busiest moments, not every employee needs a dedicated space, and shift patterns mean there isn’t a strict one-to-one match between staff and parking spaces. Patient and visitor traffic also drives a significant portion of demand, especially during peak times, so the per-employee factor remains modest while still accounting for overall use. Ranges that imply nearly one space per employee or that are significantly broader than the documented guidance aren’t aligned with how this use typically behaves. Therefore, 0.10 to 0.75 spaces per employee best matches the ITE guidance.
