Parking Industry Praises Congress and Administration for Rapid Passage of CARES Act

Parking Industry Praises Congress and Administration for Rapid Passage of CARES Act

WASHINGTON, March 27, 2020 — The parking industry commends Congress and the Administration for their swift action in bipartisan passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to aid workers and businesses nationwide. The scale and scope of the legislation will help small businesses and larger companies bridge the devastating collapse of business during the COVID-19 crisis.

Senators and Representatives from both sides of the aisle, as well as the Treasury department were in close contact with parking industry leaders throughout the negotiations.

The 581,000 employees in the parking industry and nearly 1 million workers in total supported by the parking industry are grateful for the support for furloughed workers to help sustain them until business is up and running again.

“We are so glad that so many Members of Congress, particularly Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Leader McConnell, and Leader McCarthy, understood quickly that with our industry facing an 80 percent collapse in demand, emergency funding and aid for businesses is the lifeline businesses need to avoid immediate closure due to the COVID-19 crisis. Aid for workers and loan facilities for small businesses and larger companies are vital to the survivability of the parking industry in the face of the pandemic,” said NPA President, Christine Banning, IOM, CAE.

“It will be essential for the Small Business Administration and Treasury Department to implement their new funding authorities swiftly so that we can get cash to our businesses and their employees during this critical time,” added Banning.

Banning commended the Congress for its responsiveness to the employers of the parking industry who are working tirelessly to keep workers employed and aid workers furloughed by the immediate drop off in business due to the novel coronavirus.

The inclusion of key provisions provide relief to an industry besieged by rapid declines in business, putting more than half of all industry workers at risk. Recovery depends upon liquidity for business to stay open and be able to recover and bring back furloughed workers.

Key Provisions helping parking industry workers and employers include:

Increased unemployment benefits.
Deferral of the payment by employers of the 6.2 percent payroll tax for their employees until Dec. 31, 2021.
Establishment of a $500 billion loan guarantee program for larger companies as well as for nonprofits from 500 to 10,000 employees that the Treasury Department will implement within 10 days.
$350 billion for new small business lending that includes companies, nonprofits, and others with up to 500 employees (and, in some limited exceptions for larger businesses).

Banning said, “As an industry we’ve come together to rally the support of the Senate and House, so that Congress hears the voice of the parking industry and helps our employees industrywide in the private and public sector make it through this crisis. My heartfelt thanks to the devoted Senators and Congressional Representatives who have heard the plea of small businesses and larger companies that are the employers who help parking as essential infrastructure support hospitals, government, hospitality and businesses in our transportation system.”

Parking Industry Coalition Thanks Congress and Administration for CARES Act Leadership

Calls for Further Assistance for Medium-Sized Businesses

WASHINGTON, March 27, 2020 — The parking industry through Women in Parking, Veterans in Parking, the Airport Ground Transportation Association (AGTA) and the Near Airport Parking Industry Trade Association (NAPITA) thank Congress and the Administration for their leadership in the rapid passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to help workers affected with furlough due to the impact of COVID-19.

These industry groups appreciate the Congressional and Administration efforts to aid workers, small businesses and employers nationwide. The package of grants and loans will help our small-business members hold on during the crisis to emerge as employers and continue offering parking as an essential service in our nation’s infrastructure. However, NPA believes further attention must be given to assist medium-sized parking operators and suppliers who have fallen between the cracks of the CARES Act.

Congress has stepped forward in a bipartisan manner to help the country weather the impact of COVID-19 as it has swept the country with closures that have stalled business nationwide. Senators and Representatives from both sides of the aisle, as well as the Treasury Department, were in close contact with parking industry leaders throughout the negotiations. We will continue to work in close partnership with the government to make sure all NPA members are able to access these essential federal lifelines.

NPA President Christine Banning said, “The 581,000 employees in the parking industry and nearly 1 million workers in total supported by parking want to express our appreciation to Congressional leadership and the Administration for the emergency funding in the CARES Act, which provides direct aid to the dedicated individuals who work in our sector, including those who have been temporarily unemployed or furloughed due to the pandemic.”

Equally important are the small business and business loans through the Small Business Administration (SBA) and U.S. Treasury Department, which will infuse businesses with capital to stave off closure or bankruptcy and help businesses rebound from the COVID-19 crisis.

Banning added, “Our country is strong and parking organizations nationwide stand together for parking operators, airport/near airport parking, hospitals, universities, municipalities, and businesses to serve as an essential link in the first mile and last mile of transportation. As Americans, employers, and employees, we are all working hard to stay the course, so that we can rebound as an industry and country. We look forward to working with the federal government to ensure the necessary support is provided to parking employers of all sizes to make this possible.”
