Over the past two years parking operations across the country have had to deal with significant reductions in revenues. The pandemic has caused more people to work from home, fewer people to go out to restaurants or events, moved university students and even hospital patients (for non-emergency appointments) to virtual settings, and more. There isn’t a sector of the parking industry that hasn’t been affected by the dramatic reductions in parking demand, and the resulting impacts to revenues.

As we continue to look forward to a society that is as close to normal as we can, parking owners and operators are looking for ways to restore their bottom lines.
