ParkEngage has partnered with New York City parking operator, City Parking, to provide numerous electronic reservation services at the parking facilities serving Yankee Stadium. This system will dramatically improve and expedite the parking experience for the hundreds of thousands of visitors and spectators to Yankee Stadium each year.

ParkEngage has implemented solutions tailored specifically to the needs of Yankee Stadium parking patrons and City Parking. The project includes the launch of a new parking website that allows patrons to accomplish all parking and transportation related tasks including making parking reservations, purchasing parking passes, purchasing bus passes, and more. The ParkEngage Online Reservations solution also provides numerous benefits such as managing real-time pricing and availability, enhancing customer service and loyalty, and increasing revenues.

City Parking’s Anthony Llopiz stated “City Parking is committed to implementing solutions that enhance the iconic experience of visiting Yankee Stadium for visitors from the minute they arrive until they leave. We are excited about the opportunities the ParkEngage Online Reservation system will provide to create the best parking and transportation process for everyone who enters our facilities.”

Not only will this help to improve the parking experience for stadium visitors, but it will help to create a more efficient operation for parking staff. For more information, visit www.parkengage.com.

Throughout this series, we have discussed the impact of the digital parking future on customers and operations overall. But the impact it will have on employees is extensive as well.

Over the past couple of years, organizations have faced significant staffing issues. Lockdowns reduced if not eliminated parking demand. Even as communities re-opened, it has been difficult to find available workers, or the ability to hire has been limited by reduced budgets.

The digitalization of parking operations will help support organizations struggling to maintain a successful workforce, while helping employees more effectively perform their duties. For instance, streamlining enforcement and eliminating items such as hang tags and permits will reduce the time parking staff must spend confirming valid parkers. The technologies available now will immediately alert them if someone is parked illegally.

Further, mobile payments reduce or eliminate the need for cashiers at gates. This allows existing parking staff to focus on higher and better tasks like customer service, security, and identification of maintenance needs. It will also free them up to respond to any needs more quickly.

Digital parking solutions are increasingly improving the way parking owners and operators do business, especially when it comes to staff utilization and management. Additional examples of how this will impact parking staff in the future include:

• Automating valet tasks and reducing valet workload.
• Reducing manual work through aggregator and sales channel management.
• More efficient customer support through customer self-service systems including reservations, permits, monthly accounts, etc.
• Marketing automation and analytics reducing work associated with marketing and sales including pricing surveys, market analyses, etc.
• Human resources automation reducing time spent on payroll and benefits management, employee time tracking, etc.
• Vendor-provided technology management and upgrades, reducing in-house maintenance.

Digital solutions allow organizations focus more on the ultimate goal of serving customers while helping to streamline their procedures, increase revenues, and implement cutting edge technologies with little upfront cost or disruption in their operations.
