Parking enforcement has always been most effective when an officer is able to show kindness and empathy towards a customer during the citation process. This even transfers over to the office staff that has to deal with those customers when they come into the office to resolve that citation. Incorporating new COVID-19 policies into an existing parking enforcement system has definitely been challenging to say the least.

MSTPA is proud to announce that we have joined the Alliance for Parking Data Standards (APDS) as an affiliate partner. APDS is a global organization combining the expertise of parking, transportation, and mobility professionals worldwide to establish a global parking data standard.

I’m sure everyone has been facing a variety of challenges with effectively communicating during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with ensuring your staff remains engaged with each other while staying on top of their respective projects and responsibilities.

Technology in the world continues to race ahead at an incredible pace. Parking technology is making leaps and bounds in today’s market. Parking apps, gateless systems, sensors with endless and varied data, and innovative products pour into the market with new advances each week.
