However, the use of suchvehicles for short regular journeys also creates significantbenefits, most notably in the form of reduced congestionand reduced land use for parking.<strong>Parking</strong> standards for PTWs are represented as the minimumprovision required, which reflects the advantages they haveover the car and single occupancy vehicles in particular.As with cycle parking, these standards represent a basisfor helping to provide sufficient PTW parking facilitiesthroughout the Essex, <strong>Southend</strong> and Thurrock area.In addition to the provision of secure parking, developerswill be required to demonstrate that they have consideredadditional needs for PTW users, such as locker, changingand shower facilities.Government transport statistics show that the ratio betweencar and motorcycle ownership is 1:35. However, with regardto the congestion benefits that the motorcycle provides, aparking standard of one space, plus an additional spacefor every 10 car parking spaces, should be applied.A strategy for powered two wheeled vehicles in Essexhas been published by Essex County Council in 2001.Guidance on providing for PTW users is alsoavailable from motorcycle industry groups.page fourteen
