At my school, they did many of these things. In fact, it was generally accepted that you shouldn't drive to school, and they made many alternatives.

For the small amount of parking they did provide, they charged a fee for. I think that is a reasonable way of dealing with the limited resource. Make it so you dont need it as much as possible, charge some to the people who decide to use it anyway.
