Technology Trends

At the 2019 ARC Industry & City Forum in Orlando, I chaired an illuminating session on the future of the parking industry.

I was joined by leaders from SP+, CloudParc, and Walker Consultants to discuss trends and trajectories in the space. Speakers shared their perspectives and experiences in the industry and joined a panel discussion, which concluded with audience questions.

During the session, we looked at how IoT applications, demand pricing, congestion pricing, flexible facility design, and planning with the stakeholder communities in mind will be key to improving parking in cities going forward.

Here are my introductory comments:
