Parker Technology Partners with University of Houston

to Improve the Campus Parking Experience

 

 

 

Houston, TX —Parker Technology, the leading provider of parking customer service, has been partnering with the University of Houston since July of 2021 to provide 24/7 customer support, with two-way video technology, in the University’s parking facilities. With Parker’s customer service solution, students, faculty, staff, and visitors parking in campus parking facilities can quickly reach a Parker Technology customer service representative if they experience problems when entering, exiting or paying.

 

“We are delighted to be partnering with Parker Technology,” said Neil Hart, Executive Director of Parking and Transportation Services for the University of Houston. “We are gaining access to the industry’s best and most responsive customer service provider, while streamlining our own parking operations. Our partnership with Parker will elevate the parking experience and significantly reduce our parking management costs.”

 

Parker Technology’s solution works in tandem with the University’s existing T2 PARCS equipment, providing instant access to Parker’s cloud-based platform, and thus a connection to their customer service reps. Additionally, several of the facilities have Parker’s patented two-way video functionality enabled. The Parker solution is available in 111 lanes, throughout 22 campus parking facilities, including six garages and 16 parking lots.

 

In today’s increasingly automated parking industry, Parker’s customer support platform can provide the sole connection between parkers and trained professionals who can help solve common problems related to paying for parking or entering and exiting garages. Each year, parkers across the US reach out to customer service professionals via call buttons at least 85 million times. This statistic is extrapolated from the Parker Technology platform, which also records and analyzes data about each call to determine which issues are most common. This data helps provide parking operators with insight at potential efficiencies in better managing their parking resources.

 

“We are proud to be working with the University of Houston and T2 to improve the campus parking experience,” said Brian Wolff, President and CEO of Parker Technology. “This was a complicated project with a lot of moving parts, and its success was the product of close collaboration between the university’s parking team, T2, and the Parker team. And now as a result, each of the university’s parking facilities can offer instant access to a trained customer service professional whenever necessary, 24/7.”

UW – Eau Claire Implements AIMS LPR and AMP Park Pay-by-Phone Solution

UW – Eau Claire Implements AIMS LPR and AMP Park Pay-by-Phone Solution

 

 

University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire has leveraged the AIMS system to modernize their parking operation, provide contactless parking options to their campus community and streamline their enforcement tools.    A user of the AIMS system since 2012, UW-Eau Claire transitioned to virtual permitting and LPR enforcement in the 3rd quarter of 2021.

The decision to implement AMP Park in 2020 stemmed in part from COVID’s effects on customers’ parking patterns and needs.   AMP Park integrates with AIMS in real-time and provides parkers with a contactless payment solution and short-term parking options.

In turn, UW-Eau Claire leverages the AIMS LPR solution for real-time enforcement of their entire parking operation including virtual permitting, AMP Park pay-by-plate transactions, vehicle hot lists, and enforcement of shared permits.

One of the many benefits realized by UW-Eau Claire is the ability to use one back-end system to track and view LPR and pay-by-plate data.  According to Allyson Wisniewski, Parking Supervisor at UW-Eau Claire, “We have used AIMS since 2012, transitioned to the LPR system in 2021 and were one of the first AIMS customers along with the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh to implement AMP on our campus.  The customer service from AIMS is hands down the best.   I really like that pay by plate is integrated seamlessly for the user and the backend all within AIMS. “

UW-Eau Claire continues to use the AIMS suite of products to provide their customers with an easy-to-use parking self service portal, backend permit and citation management, and complete reporting on each and every aspect of their parking operation.

Louisiana State University Streamlines Processes with T2’s All-in-One System

January 25, 2021

Louisiana State University Streamlines Processes with T2’s All-in-One System

 

 

Louisiana State University, located in Baton Rouge, is the flagship university of the Pelican State. From championship-winning athletics to award-winning academic programs to cutting-edge research, LSU is known for excellence in many areas. However, LSU Parking & Transportation Services had fallen behind the times, riddled with end-of-life equipment and an in-house-built system that failed to connect everything together.

With a quarter of the gates across LSU’s campus not functioning and an inability to find replacement parts, enforcement officers were spending their time sitting at the gates rather than writing citations, though their end-of-life handhelds would have made that challenging anyway. This made it difficult for LSU to keep the core of its campus secure and led to a significant loss of revenue.

Additionally, LSU’s in-house-built parking management system did not connect the department’s various solutions – permit management, enforcement, PARCS, and meters – leaving the team with manual processes, disconnects, and redundant information.

LSU implemented T2 Flex® software for permit management and enforcement, T2 FlexPort for online permit sales and citation payments, T2’s Mobile Enforcement App, and T2 Logan PARCS, all of which run on a single platform and integrate with one another and third-party systems seamlessly.

Flex serves as the epicenter for LSU’s parking operation, where they can manage and configure permits and monitor enforcement activity and citations. FlexPort makes it possible for the team to sell permits online through a dedicated web portal, which are then fulfilled through T2’s PermitDirect solution. With PermitDirect, T2 partner WW&L takes the orders made through FlexPort and handles the printing and shipping of the credentials.

The Mobile Enforcement App enables LSU’s enforcement officers to easily perform permit lookups and issue citations from a smartphone, all while integrating seamlessly with Flex in real-time. As far as access and revenue control, LSU installed T2 Logan PARCS hardware at 64 access points across several surface lots and two garages. Flex also serves as the back end system to manage these facilities and lanes.

A man in a yellow shirt and a woman in a purple shirt wear face masks and hold parking permits whilst standing in front of a white car. One of the biggest successes for LSU Parking & Transportation has simply been having working equipment, with officers able to conduct enforcement rather than sitting at the broken gates and staff no longer constantly focused on fixing broken equipment.

With all aspects of their operation now in a single system, it’s much easier for the Parking Services team to provide credentials to students, faculty, and staff, while enforcement officers have accurate, real-time information in their hands. And, manual processes like raising gates can be done with the push of a button.

Meanwhile, Flex’s robust reporting capabilities and seamless integrations have made reconciliation much easier for the business office. Previously the systems were not syncing and so everything needed to be double-checked, but now they are able to bill without doing a lot of extra research.

“It is a lot more seamless now than it ever has been before,” Laura Foster, Assistant Director of Financial Operations stated, “so that’s our goal: to keep on creating automated processes that work, to allow us to function with the new requirements that we’re getting – because stuff is always changing – and to also make it seamless and easy for the customer, where they have the confidence on what they need to do when they are coming, regardless if it’s a visitor, student, faculty member, or just a unique situation.”

NEW ELECTRIC BUSES ROLL ON CAMPUS ROADS

 

 

Duke adds two 40-foot electric buses to its campus fleet; the buses are expected to go into service next week

 

 

 

Two new fully-electric buses have arrived and are expected to begin operating on campus next week as Duke takes another sustainable step toward carbon neutrality by 2024.

Each 40-foot Proterra ZX5 bus carries up to 40 seated passengers and operates for about 200 miles on a single charge. The battery-electric buses release zero tailpipe emissions, require no oil changes and use no liquid fuels.

One of the electric buses displays the Sustainable Duke logo.The buses will run the C1 route, connecting East and West campuses. One bus serves as a mobile billboard for Duke’s commitment to carbon neutrality, featuring the Sustainable Duke logo, images of electric cords and messages like “green technology,” “reduced emissions” and “100% electric.” The other bus displays a message that it is 100 percent electric.

“This is a first we’re very proud of,” said Carl DePinto, director of Duke Parking and Transportation Services. “We’re happy to do our part in helping Duke become climate neutral.”

Duke currently operates 24 buses that run on hybrid-diesel or diesel fuel. The new battery-powered electric buses will replace two diesel vehicles, saving Duke on maintenance and fuel, DePinto said.

Parking Industry Coalition Thanks Congress and Administration for CARES Act Leadership

March 30, 2020

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.”

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.

Veterans in Parking

Near Airport Parking Industry Trade Association
The Near Airport Parking Industry Trade Association (NAPITA) represents national and local near-airport parking operators and their 12,000+ employees from across the country, who, each year, see approximately 25 million parking visits. NAPITA’s mission is to partner with airports and other stakeholders in the aviation industry to ensure safe, efficient, and equitable access to their airport curb for off-airport parking operators and to increase the role ground transportation plays in the broader air travel industry and the overall experience for air travelers.

ParkEMU Announce Campus-wide Parking Upgrades at Eastern Michigan University

October 05, 2018

 

 

ParkEMU Announce Campus-wide Parking Upgrades at Eastern Michigan University

 

 

Ypsilanti, Michigan – October 04, 2018ParkEMU,the operator of Eastern Michigan University’s Parking system, is implementingsignificant upgrades to the University’s parking facilities and technology as a result of a parking concession agreement approved by the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) Board of Regents in December 2017.

 

 

ParkEMU is operated by LAZ Parking, one of the nation’s largest parking operators with thousands of parking locations across the country including Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. In April 2018, LAZ Parking, through its partnership with Preston Hollow Capital and Provident Resources Group, launched operations on a 35-year Public Private Partnership at EMU. Through this parking entity, ParkEMU is bringing new technology, innovation and best-in-class parking services to the entire campus.

Students, faculty, and staff returning to the EMU campus this fall have experienced ParkEMU-initiated repaving primarily at the Oakwood South, McKenny, and Normal parking lots on South Campus as well as the northwest corner of the Green Lot 1 parking lot on North Campus, comprising over 1,000 parking spaces in all. These first-year facility improvements in the concession agreement with the University were completed ahead of schedule with more parking system improvements planned for the coming years.

Updated parking services already implemented by ParkEMU include custom software allowing for specialized permit pricing for EMU students, staff and faculty. License plate recognition (LPR) technology has also been installed to provide better customer service and permit enforcement. ParkEMU has also introduced new policies and procedures for both short and long-term maintenance of the parking facilities throughout the EMU campus.

Additional improvements planned or underway include:

  • Custom permits with specialized pricing for Rec/IM users.
  • Online night parking pass sales for visitors.
  • Enhancement of transient parking system to allow parkers to use credit-card receptive Text-to-Park technology at coin-operated parking meters.
  • Increased transient parking with more convenient locations on campus.
  • ParkEMU Motorist Assistance on campus during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) including jump starts, tire changes or tire inflation, and providing up to one gallon of gas if a vehicle is out of gas. ParkEMU does not provide direct lock-out services, but will assist customers to contact a third-party provider for the service.

Under the agreement, Preston Hollow Capital has committed to spend $4.2 million for parking enhancements. But the benefits to EMU go beyond parking. The university also received an up-front capital payment of $55 million; funds that EMU will use to leverage long-term investments in campus buildings and to bolster university reserves. The planned capital improvements had been announced previously and include renovations to Sill Hall, the Rec/IM, the Quirk/Sponberg Theater building and the Science Complex, where lab space will be expanded for new neuroscience and fermentation science programs.

EMU Chief Financial Officer Michael Valdes said the careful bidding and fact-finding process produced an agreement that fit what the university was looking for.

“This group worked very hard to come up with an agreement that yields maximum financial value to the university while providing EMU with a great parking operator,” he said. “LAZ is probably the most experienced firm in the space of public-private partnerships.”

LAZ has been managing Ohio State University’s parking operations since 2012 as part of a $483 million long-term lease and concession agreement with OSU. Parking services LAZ will provide at EMU include management of the permit system, parking enforcement, customer service, and motorist assistance. Additionally, LAZ Parking is responsible for providing parking facility maintenance for a parking system at EMU that is comprised of over 9,000 parking spaces spread throughout 66 parking lots and 2 parking garages.

Steve Hicks, CEO of Provident Resources Group, the concessionaire, noted that “as a national nonprofit focused on serving higher education, Provident is delighted to have this opportunity to partner with EMU in bringing state of the art and parking industry technology and efficiency to the University’s parking operations with LAZ Parking.”
