In an era of constantly changing needs and challenges posed by urban stakeholders and an increasing number of vehicles in the area, transport accessibility has started to play a key role. Shaping transport infrastructure in cities is one of the greatest challenges city managers have. In recent years, the introduction of paid parking zones (PPZs) has become an increasingly common solution. This paper aims to assess the impact of parking fees on the mode choice of users of urban spaces. As part of the research process, a systematic review of literature in the area outlined above and an analysis of transport accessibility in the selected area are carried out. This paper presents the results of a survey on the determinants of transport mode choices in the city of Szczecin. The results show that, despite high rates imposed by city authorities, users of urban spaces still choose to travel by car to their destinations and that parking fees do not have a real impact on modal shift. These results offer valuable insights for both drivers and local authorities in terms of creating transport accessibility for the final stage of this journey ‒ i.e., parking accessibility.
