Sharing Excellence in Parking & Mobility Management
Island Syndrome
In light of this evolution, parking managers, public transit managers, even car sharing managers should consider rebranding themselves as “Mobility Managers”. Mobility Managers leverage their particular platform, such as a parking facility, to capture a share, a piece of the customer journey. So what if it's just a share? Isn't it better to have a piece of something rather than all of nothing?Continue reading
Unlocking Hidden Value in Parking: Step 1, Negotiating Monthly Parking Allowances in Building Leases
Unfortunately, auditors of these lease-bound parking requirements report both Lessors and Lessees frequently leave a lot of loot on the table. This value can be surrendered in the negotiation, but more typically is given away long after the ink has dried on the final document.Continue reading
Actually Count the Money
Actually Count the Money - Everything going into – or out of – a count room should be counted. The vault at the failed FNBE is equivalent to our parking and transportation count rooms.

Like a bodybuilder, parking is shedding some fat and adding some muscle, in this case MaaS – “Mobility-as-a-Service”.
Parking professionals are realizing that while managing parking is sometimes akin to being marooned on a desert island, building bridges can end the isolation.
MaaS is just such a bridge, continuing what we have termed in the past, the “vertical integration of the parking experience”. But perhaps we should now coin a new term, the “vertical integration of the mobility experience”.

Road Diets and Parking
A Road Diet is a transportation planning technique that aims to reduce or rechannel traffic on roadways and create space for alternative forms of transportation, such as cycling, walking and public transit.
