City of Inglewood and LAZ Parking Promote Remote Parking and Shuttle Program to Serve Fans for First Full Attendance NFL Season at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium
INGLEWOOD, CA — Following a spectator-less debut NFL season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium is kicking off its first full-attendance NFL season on August 14th with an exciting hometown rival pre-season game that will see the Los Angeles Rams play the Los Angeles Chargers. In recent weeks, the City of Inglewood announced several transportation options to SoFi Stadium for NFL games—including its partnership with LAZ Parking on the launch of the City’s IPark&Go remote parking and shuttle program. This new initiative will help to promote a more positive experience both for local residents and for event attendees traveling to SoFi Stadium. Because traditional onsite parking options at SoFi Stadium will be limited for NFL games and other large events, the expansion of alternative, high occupancy transportation solutions are intended to provide greener, convenient, and affordable travel options and create a unique event experience in the Los Angeles County area.

LAZ Wins Contract to Operate City Trolley Service in Laguna Beach, CA
Reputation and strength in CA market cited in decision. Agreement is fifth Orange Co. trolley contract for LAZ
Hartford, CT, August 5, 2021 – LAZ Parking announced today that it has been selected to operate the municipal trolley service of the City of Laguna Beach, CA. Under the agreement unanimously approved by the Laguna Beach City Council earlier this year, LAZ will operate 25 City-owned trolleys on a year-round basis, work that will require up to 100 drivers during the peak summer season. The contract runs for five years and comes with two three-year renewal options.
LAZ was deemed the most qualified of the three firms competing for the contract. LAZ already has a significant presence in Orange County, operating similar trolley services in Dana Point, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano, CA.
“LAZ’s reputation and impact in the California market were key factors in the decision by the City to award us the contract,” said Alan Lazowski, founder and CEO of LAZ Parking. “This contract is an acknowledgment of our operations and management excellence in transportation services. We are humbled by the trust the City has placed in us.”
The initial five-year contract calls for LAZ to provide drivers and dispatchers to staff the city trolley service. In partnership with the City, LAZ agreed to retain staff used by the City for trolley services and pay wages comparable to what City employees are currently earning. The City suspended trolley service at the outset of the pandemic but resumed service on June 25.
“The Transportation Division at LAZ has grown at a rapid pace in 2021, adding over 100 new shuttles and busses to its fleet of 540 vehicles since the beginning of the year, including the 25 trolleys we are operating for the City of Laguna Beach,” said Ralph Caldin, Vice President for Transportation Services at LAZ. “The Laguna Beach operation will also include a Micro Transit Program where residents will be able to request On Demand service for certain neighborhoods within the City.”

“As the leader of People + Culture, Andi has been game changer for LAZ,” Lazowski said. “In her eight years at LAZ, she has distinguished herself as an innovator, mentor, and thought leader not only within our company but across the parking industry. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of the honor.”
Campbell joined LAZ in 2012 as Vice President of Talent Development and has been Senior Vice President of HR since 2018. She leads people and culture initiatives at LAZ and is best known for creating scalable “people” strategies that drive measurable results. The award is the latest of many for Campbell. She was named to a “Top 40 Young Trainers” list by Training Magazine in 2012, recognized as a “Game Changer” by Workforce Magazine in 2014, and to a “Top 40 Under 40” list by the NPA in 2015.
“To be acknowledged for work you love doing is humbling,” Campbell said of the IMPACT award. “I want to thank Alan and my LAZ family for creating a work environment that fosters growth and opportunity for me and thousands of other LAZ employees.”
Three other LAZ employees – Maggie DiPaolo, Alex Hooker, and Stephane Adovelande – were named by NPA to this year’s “40 Under 40” list. The awards honor young professionals under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves as rising stars in the parking and transportation industry.
Honorees are identified through a peer-reviewed selection process that recognizes parking professionals who demonstrate innovation, integrity, and excellence. NPA and its Young Professionals Network are growing thanks to a dynamic influx of talent that is expanding as the parking industry evolves, Banning added.

HARTFORD, Conn., March 20, 2020 —Alan Lazowski, Chief Executive Officer of LAZ Parking, underscored his company’s commitment Thursday to protecting customers, clients and employees impacted by the evolving threat of COVID-19, or Coronavirus.

LAZ has also notified its employees that a percentage of its workforce will be temporarily reduced at this time with the intention of being rehired once the crisis subsides and business rebounds.
“It is going to take difficult sacrifices and federal government intervention to bridge the financial gap created by this pandemic and help our nation’s workforce receive higher unemployment benefits during this crisis,” added Lazowski. “We have been and will continue to be in contact with the highest levels in government in order to advocate for our people, our company and members of the entire parking industry. We are asking that the federal government provide relief to the parking industry and our temporarily reduced workforce and pay as close to 100% of employees’ wages during the layoff period. We are optimistic that the federal government will do the right thing.”
LAZ’ founding partners will not take any pay for at least the next 90 days and have established a $1,000,000 Employee Relief Fund, where furloughed team members can apply for financial grants. There will be no expectation of grant repayment and the money. Since 1981, LAZ has navigated many business challenges in times of extreme volatility.
