IME CONTINUES TO GO BY QUICKLY. As I look forward to this year’s

IPMI Conference & Expo in New Orleans, my last as IPMI board chairman, I would be remiss if I did not look back first as to how I got here. I have been fortunate to serve on the IPMI board since 2015; the last three years as chair. When I first served on the board of directors for IPMI, we were in a pre-pandemic world and the parking industry was thriving. I got to experience first-hand the important role both IPMI and the state and regional associations play in our industry. During a global pandemic that virtually shut down the world, our industry, like most, was hit hard. Tough decisions had to be made. The most difficult was the cancellation of the 2020 IPMI Conference & Expo. We all experienced the challenges of mass business closures, remote working, social distancing, online interactions, protective masks, and isolation. Remember, it is not the challenges we face that define us, it is our response. The challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been an opportunity to tap into our greatest potential, our membership. The strength, compassion, and agility that I have witnessed in the past year are unmatched. That is exactly how IPMI responded. IPMI staff, along with the many volunteers, coordinated a concerted effort to keep the industry connected. Volunteers stepped up conducting webinars, shop talks, and participated daily in the Forum online community. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to help guide and serve alongside so many dedicated professionals, especially during the pandemic. Additionally, it goes without saying that none of this would be possible without the countless number of volunteers. Looking forward, I anticipate a continued path to normalcy thanks to our

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

membership. I look forward to this year’s IPMI Conference & Expo, building upon the successful attenuated conference in Tampa in December 2021. I envision a return of attendees and vendors in New Orleans and the return to the convention center for a full Expo Hall, with exhibits wall to wall. It will be exciting to see the education sessions, and the expo hall packed with networking at its fullest potential. Even though this will be my transition away from chair of IPMI, I am excited that Gary Means will be assuming the chair position. I know Gary, and his hands-on leadership will be a true asset to IPMI. Working alongside the board, Gary’s leadership will ensure continued success through the obstacles and opportunities of the years ahead. Our future is bright, and I challenge everyone to stay committed and connected. Together, we can thrive as an industry. Looking forward to seeing everyone in NOLA!!! ◆

MAJOR URBAN MOBILITY

Trends of the Future The five things that everyone is talking about in mobility—or should be! Mobility is in the midst of its most transformational period since inception, and the needle keeps moving. The world is moving towards a future of sustainability, and that sustainability begins with mobility. While there are as many differing views on the future of mobility as there are new modes and methods to transport us to where we are going the necessary outcome of our transformation efforts is clear: mobility needs to become more diverse, smarter, more shared, and greener. How we get from place to place is an essential piece of the overall sustainability landscape, and these are the five major mobility trends that are set to have the greatest direct impact on a sustainable future.

1

Less driving. According to the EPA, a “short trip” is a car trip of under a mile. If Americans were to cut half of the short trips that they are currently making by car, we would remove about 2 million metric tons of CO2 emissions per year—the equivalent of 400,000 cars from the road. Consider walking to the store or the gym!

2

Biking. Thanks to new federal funding, experts expect a huge jump in biking with the installation of new and improved bike paths and bicycle parking garages. With these improvements will come incentives from workplaces to bike to work, creating a win-win for health and the environment.

5

3

Shared mobility. Whether sharing cars, bicycles, public transportation, shuttle buses, e-bikes, e-scooters, or one of the many other advents to come, the convenience of not having to worry about storage or ongoing maintenance costs will make shared mobility an increasingly appealing option.

4

Electric Vehicles and Autonomous Driving. We can talk about them separately, but when coupled they have the greatest impact. As we are currently experiencing, the biggest challenge to success will be the charging infrastructure. But as the growing pains are resolved, people can look forward to a time when their commute can be used for relaxation while their fully electric car does all the work.

The Internet of Things (IoT). As data becomes more regularly collected, analyzed, and applied in decision making, a future in which billions of devices—from smartphones to vehicles to apps that control pretty much everything—are interconnected and are working in harmony to get us from point A to B in the most ideal manner is within the realm of possibility.

The Big Picture of Regulating Mobility By Michael J. Ash, Esq., CRE

O

UR MOBILITY COMMUNITY is a complicated collection of dozens of specialties to

make sure parking and transportation function efficiently. Our years of practice, study, and planning confirm that all the pieces matter and each component relates to the others. Our focus is not limited to parking. We now know that parking has a direct impact on pedestrian traffic, public transportation, alternative modes of personal transportation, and public infrastructure. However, for these multiple disciplines to come together, comprehensive legislation is necessary to attempt to achieve seamless regulation. The planning trend toward Complete Streets is an example of a qualitative approach to comprehensive legislation of the “big picture” of mobility. In March, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released a report to Congress detailing the agency’s commitment to advance widespread implementation of the Complete Streets design model. Complete Streets is a focus on design, construction, and

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

operation of safe roads and on countermeasures that encourage safe speeds. According to FHWA, the guiding principle behind Complete Streets is to help improve safety and accessibility for all users. FHWA published this guideline as a response to a report accompanying


the Departments of Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill of 2021 which stated that FHWA should “review its current policies, rules, and procedures to determine their impact on safety for road users.” The report identifies five areas that will inform FHWA as it moves ahead with its efforts to increase the proportion of federally funded transportation projects that are routinely planned, designed, built and operated as Complete Streets: 1. Improve data collection and analysis to advance safety for all users. 2. Support rigorous safety assessment during project development and design to help prioritize safety outcomes across all project types. 3. Accelerate adoption of standards and guidance that promote safety and accessibility for all users and support innovation in design. 4. Reinforce the primacy of safety for all users in the interpretation of design standards, guidelines, and project review processes. 5. Make Complete Streets FHWA’s default approach for funding and designing non-access-controlled roadways. By making Complete Streets the default approach, the policy can be implemented to improve the safety of almost 70% of roads that are used by a variety of users in primarily urban areas and small towns. The goal of the Complete Streets policy shift is described by Deputy Federal Highway Administrator Stephanie Pollack: “FHWA will play a leadership role in providing an equitable and safe transportation network for travelers of all ages and abilities, including vulnerable road users and those from underserved communities that have faced historic disinvestment.” Safety is advanced in the Complete Street policy by focusing on the design, construction, and operation of safe roads and on countermeasures that encourage safe speeds, making it a key component of FHWA’s implementation of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy. To implement FHWA’s Complete Streets policy, important changes in regulation and financial incentives must occur. First, the guidelines address needed legislative amendments and revisions to implement the comprehensive guidelines. A partial list of the laws that require revision, on the federal level alone, include: ● 49 U.S.C. 5303: Metropolitan transportation Planning ● 49 U.S.C. Subtitle IX: Multimodal Freight ● 23 U.S.C. 134 Metropolitan Transportation Planning ● 23 U.S.C. 217 (g): Bicycle Transportation and Pedestrian Walkways: Planning and Design

FHWA also recommends financial incentives for states and local governments to implement Complete Streets planning. For example, the recent bi-partisan infrastructure bill includes a requirement that states and metropolitan planning organizations use at least 2.5% of their planning funding on activities related to Complete Streets or travel on foot, by bike, in a vehicle or using public transit.

Outlook and Trends for Micromobility By Kurt Steiner, AICP

T

HE TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EVs) keeps building momentum and grabbing headlines, from

the $5 billion investment in EV charging infrastructure announced by the new Joint Office of Energy and Transportation to the marketing pivot by many auto manufacturers toward their growing battery electric and plug-in hybrid lineups. This is great news for cleaner air, climate action, and economic growth. But EVs aren’t the only transportation trend worth watching, a fact underscored by a recent global survey conducted by McKinsey about micromobility preferences for commuting. A somewhat surprising 60% of respondents in the U.S. stated their preference to commute using some form of micromobility. Is it plausible that recent innovations in e-bikes and e-scooters, making them more useful, convenient, and affordable, have caught the public’s imagination? If so, then what will that mean for regulators, parking operators, and future investments in transportation infrastructure? We might find some clues in two innovative approaches featuring micromobility: Pittsburgh’s Move PGH pilot, the most significant demonstration of “mobility as a service” (MaaS) in the U.S., and zero emission areas (ZEAs), a comprehensive policy initiative to address urban congestion and pollution, transportation electrification, and human-centered transportation options (walking, cycling, public transport, and micromobility). The first dockless electric kick scooters debuted in North America less than five years ago. The common characteristics for micromobility are low speed (under 30 mph), light weight (under 100 lbs.), and partially or fully motorized. A practical classification can be found in Underwriter Laboratories (UL) two certifications related to electrical systems for micromobility: UL 2849 for e-bikes (pedal-assisted or throttle-actuated) and UL 2272 for

10

“e-scooters and other micromobility devices, such as e-skateboards and hoverboards.” While shared-micromobility providers have been a major driver in growing popularity, it’s important to note that micromobility may be personally owned or part of a shared fleet (docked or dockless.) The smartphone-enabled shared e-scooter concept launched in 2017 quickly migrated beyond the sunny sidewalks of Santa Monica and, before long, venture capital-funded shared-mobility providers emerged in cities and campuses across the U.S. and around the globe. Rapid expansion has often outpaced clear standards for safe operation and respectful use of public space, leading to inevitable controversary. As more communities learn what works, though, they are sharing best practices. The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) Guidelines for Regulating

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

Shared Micromobility and New Urban Mobility Alliance (NUMO)’s Starting Off Right: A Community-First New Mobility Playbook are both excellent resources for communities. Planning for micromobility overlaps with some principles for pedestrian and bicycle planning, and these guides also highlight the considerations specific to e-bikes and e-scooters that lead to more successful outcomes. The proliferation of shared micromobility services helped showcase how useful e-bikes and e-scooters can be for short urban trips. Public demand for e-bikes is surging. U.S. sales increased 145% from 2019 to 2020 and a proposed 30% tax credit toward e-bike purchases was floated in Congress last year, an acknowledgement that e-bikes are a serious policy option for reducing household transportation costs and vehicle miles traveled (VMT.) Researchers in the UK found high potential for e-bikes to


replace some car trips and reduce CO2 emissions, especially in rural areas and places with high economic vulnerability to car dependence. The convergence of public enthusiasm for e-bikes, the emergence of technology-enabled micromobility, and policy priorities sets the stage for local innovation which leads to the first of two notable examples. Move PGH was launched in July 2021 by the City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) in collaboration with the local transit agency and private-sector partners to deliver a mobility-as-as-service (MaaS) platform for Pennsylvania’s second largest city. MaaS was conceived and first tested in Finland in the early 2010s. The Pittsburgh pilot program is built on the popular Transit smartphone app and, consistent with the MaaS concept, aims to provide a seamless

user experience for multimodal trip planning across public and private mobility services. A participant can compare travel options, including public transit and bikeshare, shared-micromobility, carsharing, and carpooling, and purchase trips on any of those services within the app. Micromobility plays a vital role in Move PGH’s value proposition by delivering a “first/last mile” link for public transit and other services, extending access to jobs and other destinations through an integrated regional transportation network. E-scooters were illegal in Pennsylvania until the state passed a special provision allowing Pittsburgh to run the pilot, which opened the door for the sharedmicromobility provider Spin to help lead coordination between the many service providers on behalf of the city. “There was an ever-increasing [number of services]

but they were siloed and competing for the same customers,” said Lolly Walsh, former director of Move PGH. Working together under the city’s Move PGH initiative, the companies were able to integrate their offerings and remove some of the friction usually associated with accessing multiple transportation options. Zooming out from Pittsburgh’s pilot, a Zero Emission Area (ZEA) is a policy tool designed and implemented by local governments with the primary purpose of reducing air pollution and carbon emissions from driving. Closely related to congestion zones, which enforce fees upon entry to reduce vehicle travel and congestion, ZEAs instead require vehicles inside their boundaries to meet certain pollution standards. In fact, London’s wellknown congestion charge is just one part of a comprehensive zoning scheme that

THE GREEN STANDARD

now includes low-emissions zones (LEZs) intended to reduce health impacts caused by pollution from traffic. ZEAs and LEZs are highly flexible and can be designed to meet the specific needs and goals of a community (focusing on delivery vehicles, for example). That flexibility, along with their capacity to evolve over time, make ZEAs an attractive option for cities working toward ambitious goals for climate, electric vehicles, traffic congestion, and public health. C40 Cities, a global network for leading cities taking climate action, cites ZEAs as part of “a coordinated series of strategic actions over the next decade to shift urban mobility choices.” More widespread implementation of ZEAs could help accelerate the transition to EVs while also promoting micromobility

as an attractive option for urban travel. In a report published last December, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) examined scenarios for reducing transportation carbon emissions that align with the goal of keeping below 1.5°C global warming and concluded that the only realistic path follows a dual strategy of rapid electrification alongside policies that focus on shifting travel away from cars. In the context of a projected doubling in passenger vehicles by 2050, the Paris Agreement-aligned scenario includes some sobering targets: phase-out of ICE vehicles globally by 2040 and reduced overall travel demand for driving by 11% compared to business as usual. Meeting these targets will require a transformation

in land use and transportation planning. ITDP’s analysis projects that e-bikes are projected to accommodate much of the growth in future vehicle demand and notes that ZEAs are one key approach that can “simultaneously incentivize modal shift and vehicle electrification.” Synergies like this will help ease the transition to future transportation systems that are more shared, electric, and multimodal. Micromobility is positioned at the intersection of those trends, suggesting an even higher profile could lie ahead. ◆ KURT STEINER, AICP, is associate director, LEED for the U.S. Green Building Council.

TDM Collaboration Proves Two is Still Better Than One By Brett Wood, CAPP, PE and JC Porter, CAPP

T

RANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) is not a new concept in the transportation

and mobility planning world. The concept of using incentives, disincentives, and coordinated management strategies to better balance transportation and parking demands throughout a day and within a community have been the aspiration of the planning community since we realized the significant impacts of unregulated vehicular activity. In fact, TDM was as hot a topic pre-COVID in our industry as any other recurring challenge (ahem…curb lane management…you aren’t the only challenge we face in the industry). The intention of better utilizing all mobility resources, balancing commute choices, reducing congestion, and lessening the investment in more parking and roadway capacity continue to be hot topics in municipalities and academic campuses throughout the United States. While TDM’s importance to the health of our communities and industry isn’t new, its applications are evolving and leading to new successes. Stories of collaborative approaches to implementing TDM measures and how effective partnerships can leverage the historical tools of TDM are leading to new opportunities to completely re-define the approach to commuting and working. In Tempe, Arizona—a market known within the parking and mobility industry as an advanced testbed of all things parking, transportation, and mobility—a specific approach to TDM is allowing that community to serve its constituents and continue to support growth without sacrificing street networks and resident and business satisfaction. The two biggest fish in the Tempe pond found that achieving TDM success was better together than alone.

The Players Those two big fish—the City of Tempe (the City) and Arizona State University (ASU)—set the path for the downtown Tempe community. The City provides a significant amount of parking and transportation infrastructure and sets policies and practices for the success of the downtown community. ASU (also a significant provider of infrastructure) provides more than its fair share of the demand side of the equation. With more than 100,000 students, faculty, and staff on campus on normal days, the influence of ASU cannot be understated. In 2019, ASU embarked on a planning effort to define TDM strategies on campus, with the intended goal of

14

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

reducing parking and transportation demand, improving congestion, and making access to campus more efficient. ASU’s suite of services includes a robust parking system, multi-modes of transportation from bikes to feet to skateboards to scooters, and a transit system that rivals any other in the Phoenix metro area. The goal was to leverage those tools to better accommodate needs on campus without expanding parking and roadway infrastructure. Shortly after that planning effort commenced, the City also embarked on a separate TDM planning effort to define how to accommodate the needs of the nonuniversity community and support continued and rapid growth within the downtown community. The City has access to several multi-modal amenities including light rail, a new streetcar system, a robust biking and pedestrian network, and a centralized shared parking system managed by its partner agency, the Downtown Tempe Authority. The tools were clearly in place to reduce travel demand, improve congestion, and create a vibrant and sustainable future for the community. As these two planning processes moved forward, the realities of TDM success clearly identified a need for collaboration and partnership between these two agencies. Any effort to reduce transportation demand on campus would need to be closely tied to the City goals and objectives (and vice versa). By forming direct partnerships and creating like-minded, parallel, and complimentary strategies, the two entities realized that their impact could be magnified, and their community supported more fully.


The Tools With this direct approach to partnership in place, the City and ASU began to forge a realistic strategy around implementing, maintaining, and strengthening TDM strategies. Individually, singular TDM strategies aren’t specifically effective at moving the needle on congestion reduction and sustainability goals. The graphic to the right indicates that some of the highest profile TDM strategies may only have a single digit reduction on vehicle volumes. Where TDM becomes effective is the combination of strategies and incentives to promote behavioral change. The other catalyst to achieving success in TDM programs is increasing your reach within unique groups within the community. For example, reaching commuters for office work has a specific benefit. But if you can combine that with students at the community university, you can move the needle on change even further. This collaborative approach from the City and ASU allowed for a distinct pairing of several TDM strategies targeted at a wide variety of user groups who all contributed to the transportation demands within the Tempe community. So how are they planning to achieve their lofty TDM goals? Well, here are a few of the TDM levers the partners are currently pulling together:

Marketing and Education: The City and ASU have a large reach within the small downtown and university footprint. Through a combination of television and radio commercials, social media outreach, and visual marketing, they are reaching an audience of commuters, business owners, patrons, residents, university visitors, students, faculty, and staff. In addition to media blitzes with targeted messaging, they also conduct events like bike month to help educate the community on the value of non-automotive travel.

provides free transit passes to their employees and children under the age of 18. And ASU provides a 60% transit subsidy to students, faculty, and staff. Ongoing plans to create park-and-ride stations outside the downtown core to reduce vehicular demands within the community are ongoing. ●

Parking Management: The two biggest parking operators in the community are the Downtown Tempe Authority (DTA) and ASU. They coordinate regularly on policy, practice, and pricing. The on-street and off-street parking systems are designed to appropriately allocate parkers based on their need and destination. Prices are set to influence commute choice on campus and within the community. In the past decade, the parking capacity of both the campus and the community has grown smaller without impacting the ability for the community to grow. ●

Car Sharing and Ride Sharing: Both entities have worked collaboratively to incentivize shared ride and shared vehicle policies, dedicating space in parking facilities and on-street to promote and prioritize these uses. As the demand for these uses has ebbed and flowed due to the pandemic, the entities have worked to dial in the right amount of capacity to dedicate to shared pools to serve the demand of the community. Carpooling and Vanpooling: Both entities provide incentives for using pooling services, including close proximity parking, subsidies on daily parking, and shared cost permitting. The City provides a van pool composition for users within the community. And ASU provides free shuttle services throughout the Valley. ●

Transit and Transit Subsidies: From the outside, the Phoenix metro area probably seems like an area that is highly car-centric, suburban, and spread out. But that is not the case in Tempe and on the ASU campus. The community is transit-rich, served by multiple lightrail stops, a new streetcar, a variety of micro-mobility options, and a downtown-specific shuttle system designed to move students, employees, and visitors alike. To incentivize the use of these tools, the City

Policies and Ordinances: Both entities have recently used regulatory tools to disincentivize poor commute decisions and travel behavior. On the ASU campus, regulatory tools were designed to create multi-use paths to help move non-automotive traffic efficiently and walk-only zones to protect pedestrians and improve safety. The City used ordinances and regulatory tools to leverage micromobility tools while also managing the recent influx of single-use mobility options like scooters, e-bikes, and motorized transportation options. The City is also changing neighborhood streets ordinances to make it easier for community members to ask the City to reduce speed limits and implement traffic calming measures. Telecommuting: The concept of using telecommute as a strategic tool for transportation demand reduction seemed like a hurdle when both planning processes were initiated in 2019. However, that hurdle has transformed into a specific and realistic opportunity with the new approaches to work from home and hybrid working. Both ASU and the City have implemented telecommuting policies for employees (the largest pool of employees in the community) in the post-pandemic environment. These flexible policies reduce everyday traffic and help to balance demands a few days a week instead of the old five-day model. And the Downtown Tempe Authority is working with employers to ensure that flexible parking options are available and don’t subsidize the decision to drive daily. Land Use Decisions: One of the biggest catalysts for change in the Tempe community is the transformation of the community and the campus into a more high-density urban environment that mixes compatible uses to create a walkable, bikeable, and a less car-centric environment. The City has allowed large mixed-use projects (including housing) to be built with little to no parking, leveraging the large and centrally managed parking system run by the DTA. This incentivizes lower car usage supported by the multitude of transportation options in the


community. Specific examples include the transformation of one of ASU’s largest surface parking areas into a dynamic mixed-use corridor that is intended to transform that side of campus into a new live-work-play community that energizes the community and creates more urban stability. Another example that makes national headlines is the Culdesac community that is designed to be car free and promote a non-vehicular lifestyle. Beyond these examples, the Downtown Tempe community continues to transition surface parking for higher and better uses that leverage shared parking and mobility options to grow without a “suburban-esque” parking component. ●

Mobility Hubs: One of the newer additions to the TDM toolbox is the creation of central resources of transportation options that provide commuters’ options to string together commute options that solve both normal and first- and last-mile connections. These mobility hubs serve to better distribute transportation choices to reduce dependance on the single occupant vehicle trip. In Tempe alone there are several options built around light rail and transit stations, including the City of Tempe Transportation Center (adjacent to the ASU parking office) and the ASU Novus Innovation Corridor parking garage that serves campus and mixed-use needs. Tempe and ASU also provide several options like bike valets, bike cages, and micromobility options in existing parking garages.

By partnering and collaborating on the implementation of TDM strategies and tools within the community, ASU and Tempe aim to reduce transportation and parking demands more effectively within the Downtown community. While the process will be iterative and ongoing, the results should become apparent in early stages as commuters begin to make better choices related to how and when they access the Downtown community. ◆ JC PORTER, CAPP is associate director of commuter services for Arizona State University and is a member of the IPMI Sustainability Committee.

BRETT WOOD, CAPP, PE is president of Wood Solutions Group and co-chair of IPMI’s Research & Innovation Task Force. He can be reached at brett@ woodsolutionsgroup.com.

Transportation Management Association: The creation of entities whose mission is to help define better commute options and connect the movement of goods and people without overreliance on single occupant vehicles are known as Transportation Management Associations or TMA’s. The City of Tempe is working to create a TMA from the ground up that will continue to include partnerships with ASU and large employers in the Downtown community.

The Outcomes Currently, the biggest changes seen within the Tempe community are lowered parking utilizations in a post-pandemic environment. These reductions are supported by both entities approach to incentivizing telework and hybrid schedules. The community has seen as much as a 40% reduction in parking demands during some peak periods. Leveraging this unexpected benefit of the pandemic is allowing the community to further educate and promote the multitude of transportation options and helping people significantly re-think their commute choices. Recent investments in transit (bus, light rail, and streetcar) and non-automotive incentives (bike routes, shared mobility, and micromobility) are helping to transform the community’s transportation ecosystem.

By Donovan Durband, CAPP, MS

ESILIENCE IS DEFINED AS the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. By that

definition, SWPTA is as resilient as it gets. This is a tale of three years – three very different years. Each one presented its own challenges to the members of the SWPTA community, and each was met with solutions by a creative board of directors that kept the association moving forward, serving its members, and helping them achieve their own resilience. Here is how SWPTA has navigated the last three years: 2020

Swag Boxes

March 2020 brought with it the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and an economic shutdown. SWPTA was planning a mid-year in-person conference in Palm Springs, Calif. in mid-April that had to be canceled, and the SWPTA board met to decide how to respond to the new environment. The association had done some webinars in the past, but they were not regular offerings; it was decided to ramp these up to monthly events in 2020. The board also decided to take on a more active social media presence on LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube to keep its members connected when everyone was physically apart.

The SWPTA board wanted a unique way to continue to engage with members and sponsors during this challenging time, and they came up with idea of sending members and prospective members “swag boxes” with SWPTA items and items from their sponsors. Monthly boxes were sent out to about 100 members beginning in September 2020. The hashtag #SWPTAswagbox was used to promote the effort on social media. SWPTA board volunteers asked sponsors to send items that would be fun for members to receive in the mail as part of this monthly mystery box of parking-related goodies. The swag boxes were themed

and tied to virtual social events that were held in the month following the arrival of the box. There was a Halloween theme in October, and gingerbread cookies and other holiday items inspired members to participate in the December Gingerbread Parking Garage Contest. Swag boxes were sent out each month between September and December 2020, and then another five were sent over the course of the first nine months of 2021. The result—a multi-channel campaign that kept members engaged and connected.

2021 As the pandemic began to release its hold, SWPTA again re-evaluated and came up with the best plan to engage its members while still abiding by local regulations and keeping safety and comfort level of its members as a paramount driver. They began to mix in some in-person events with the continued increase in virtual webinars, virtual social events, and the swag box campaign. Mixers were held in Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Denver to begin re-acclimating members back into inperson events. This all culminated with the return of their annual conference in Las Vegas, October 25-27, 2021, at the Golden Nugget in Downtown Las Vegas/Fremont Street Experience. The event was well-attended, and a great return to in-person conference events that SWPTA plans to build on in 2022.

An exciting achievement in 2021, SWPTA was honored with a 2021 IPMI Marketing Award in the Social Media Campaign category for their #SWPTAswagbox campaign, recognizing the hard work the SWPTA board put in to keep members connected and engaged during the pandemic. In December, SWPTA hosted a gingerbread contest called the 2021 Great Gingerbread Garage Build. It was such a huge success, they anticipate this event being an annual tradition.

2022 While 2022 will see an exciting increase in in-person events, SWPTA will continue to offer a blend of virtual events as well. These events proved to be a great value to SWPTA members over the course of the pandemic and continue to provide great benefits. There are virtual social events planned for May and July, in addition to the return of the Gingerbread Contest in December. A Webinar is currently planned for May 10, Managing and Leading Up, with others to be offered throughout the year. SWPTA also has in-person Frontline training events planned for this year, all to get people back out and learning together again. The first was held in Tucson in April, and two more are planned for Colorado and Utah. Last, but certainly not least, the SWPTA 2022 Annual Conference will be held October 24-26, 2022, at the Golden Nugget/Las Vegas.

IPMI’s

Mobility Framework

IPMI’S MOBILITY FRAMEWORK was developed by the IPMI Mobility Task Force, with expertise from our volunteers across our community, committees, subject matter experts, and volunteers. As our industry evolves, we anticipate that this Framework will also change and adapt to both innovations and disruptions in our industry. Mobility is the study, operation, and integration of all available transportation modes to coordinate the movement of people, goods, and services. ●

Mobility in this context incorporates transportation and related infrastructure, technology and software, and programming and policies. Mobility is not limited to a transportation network and infrastructure; it is an essential system for our communities and a means to facilitate economic growth and development.

Mobility in the Context of the Parking and Transportation Industry Mobility is the integration of all aspects of transportation into a seamless management system to better facilitate stakeholder access and choices across all demographics. Mobility management systems include planning, operations, finance, programming, and technology as well as policy, governance, best practices, and strategies. Mobility management systems incorporate on and offstreet parking; private automobiles; public and private parking assets; public and private transit including rail, bus, shuttles, and fleets; active transportation including biking and walking,

Locations that can be framed in both a geographic and transportation context.

Activity Flows in Mobility

Mobility ecosystems have activity in three flows: 1. Physical Flow: the actual movement of goods, people, services. 2. Data Flow: the sharing of data between entities to plan and coordinate physical activity and process transactions. 3. Financial Flow: the distribution of funds through various entities from the user of services to the provider of services and owner of facilities. When developing policy and procedures, all three flows should be evaluated in tandem.

Outcomes

Desired outcomes from IPMI’s Mobility Framework include:

Economic development and growth, including improving the quality of life and connecting people with economic opportunity, jobs, and community, goods, and services. Development of more seamless mobility ecosystems and programming through: ●

Improved mobility options through safe, efficient, equitable, and diverse modes of transportation. Alignment with IPMI’s Sustainability Framework to reduce congestion, emissions, and environmental impacts to the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit.

Improved access to transportation and mobility for all communities and demographics through: ●

The study, promotion, and application of best practices to promote safety, economic vitality, community well-being, and sustainable mobility. The promotion of effective planning using data driven decision making and quality community engagement.

S WE THINK ABOUT COMMUNITIES across the country

and around the world, we immediately see a diversity of elements that are unique to individual communities. Diversity can be seen in the people, culture, government, industry, and even in the way people move throughout these communities. And while mobility might be an element often taken for granted by the public, parking and mobility professionals from around the world recognize the connectivity and access that mobility brings to each of these elements within communities. Nathan Berry, vice president, While each community brings its own unique aspects of mobility, enterprise sales, Passport the mobility professionals on IPMI’s Mobility & Innovation Task Force spent a significant amount of time studying and discussing the commonalities of mobility that can be found within each community. By creating a foundational language around mobility, we can begin to better see the impact it has not only on whole communities but also the individuals within those communities. To begin painting a picture of mobility, and to create a framework we can all look to better serve our communities, the IPMI mobility task force pulled together a set of case studies from around the country. Pulling these case studies from universities and municipalities both large and small The IPMI Mobility & Innovation Task Force created a foundation that mobility professionals can use as a starting point to define mobility as it continues to evolve. We as a community will continue to look to all our contributions to grow as we continue to see new technologies and forms of mobility emerge, and at how each of these aspects impact the diverse set of communities we serve. Following are just some of the great success stories coming from the mobility community within IPMI. These case studies show the diversity of applications and implications of well-planned, executed, and managed mobility initiatives.

Clemson University Parking and Transportation Services Shifting the Focus from the Single-Occupant Vehicle Commute to Comprehensive Transportation Demand Management Clemson University Parking and Transportation Services (Clemson) has an extensive transportation network extending beyond the bounds of their core campus. Clemson launched an extensive bechmarking and research project designed to evaluate all mobility options and infrastructure in and around campus to create a framework of the challenges and opportunities facing the parking and transportation operations. The project included: ● Benchmarking nine peer institutions. ● Engagement with a broad spectrum of stakeholders. ● Review of the organizational structure, policies, technology tools, and data tracking and reporting. ● Analyses of all transit and shuttle operations, as well as walking, biking, and rolling conditions and programs. The analysis was complemented by a comprehensive review of financials to develop decision-making scenarios and adjust strategic approaches moving forward. This research and bechmarking effort found the parking system to be nearing capacity. Given planned campus development and anticipated enrollment growth, systemwide parking demand is projected to exceed supply, even after the potential addition of a 1,000+ space structure. Based on this assesment, a comprehensive transportation demand management (TDM) plan and mobility strategy that could be part of the solution to manage campus access was developed. The recommended approach focuses on increasing parking permit fees and revising the pricing structure to increase the cost difference between the most and least desirable spaces. The permit strategy would be complemented by: ● Strengthening the campus shuttles and public transit routes serving campus. ● Expanding and/or starting new commuter programs and services. ● Minimizing vehicular through traffic and prioritizing walking. ● Calming streets.

The plan includes filling the vacant TDM manager to continue to enhance the TDM function and integrate all transportation and mobility options into a seamless management system to better facilitate stakeholder access and choices across all demographics. This implementation plan includes investments in campus shuttles and public transit operations, and active transportation modes to connect the campus that include direct walking routes from surrounding parking facilities to the core of campus, and protected bike facilities and routes that connect with adjacent residential areas, in addition to inclusion of micro-mobility options, and curb management of passenger pick-up and drop-off locations. The primary goal of the program is to increase access and mobility options, by shifting the focus away from single-occupant vehicle commuting. These shifts allow flexibility by providing options and incentives for people to travel via multiple modes; prioritizing pedestrian, bicycle, and shared-use mobility, through complete streets improvements of street facilities and a Vision Zero approach to safety. The plan seeks to provide safe, reliable, efficient, flexible, equitable, and sustainable transportation solutions—while still accommodating those that need (or want) to drive alone and park. Pressing needs to accommodate a growing campus population indicate that Clemson will have to build its first parking structure. However, the University now plans to undertake a feasibility study that examines a potential site and structure that functions as a Mobility Hub for campus—providing parking as well as first- and last-mile solutions including a transit center, bike- and carshare facilities, micromobility, and more. This work is ongoing. ●

Kyle Field Transportation Plan Intentional Representation by a Large University Located in “Small’ish” Town Bryan-College Station is home to Texas A&M University, the largest university in the state and one of the three largest on-campus enrollments nationally. With over 65,000 students and more than 13,000 faculty and staff this community is the fourth largest Texas downtown Monday through Friday— and for seven football Saturdays. While the entities within the communities always worked together during major events, the 2013 Texas A&M vs. Alabama game brought a new challenge. Both teams were undefeated, by: Madison Metskerranked in the top five and it was the first time Submitted Galarza, project manager II, the two played in a Southeastern Conference Texas A&M University Transportation Services. game in College Station. With over 88,000 m-metsker-galarza@tamu.edu fans in the stadium and 25,000 tailgaters around the stadium (more than twice any previous game) the traffic plan was going to be stressed. Congestion lasted for up to four hours after the game—it was clear that something different needed to happen. This was especially important as Texas A&M was embarking on a half-billion-dollar reconstruction of Kyle Field, without any money being invested to add capacity to the city streets. This record-breaking change meant that communities within Bryan-College Station and Texas A&M needed to be creative in how to handle the 25% seating increase and larger tailgate crowds. The goals of the Kyle Field Transportation Plan (The Plan) included no increase in traffic congestion or transportation problems over previous seasons, and to enhance the overall gameday experience. To achieve these goals, engagement began in the winter of 2013/2014 with safety and law enforcement agencies, visitor bureau and business associations, local city transportation officials, athletics, alumni groups, marketing and communications groups, student affairs, and student groups. The partners were critical to the plan’s success, as they helped traffic planners understand the issues and crafted targeted solutions meeting the challenges of their stakeholders. Having these constituents be part of implementation was vital as community members are more likely to hear from the leaders of their own groups than what an “expert” has to say. More importantly, with community members being part of the creation of the plan and the decision-making process, they were invested in the success of the plan. Mobility is more than just the movement of vehicles; it integrates various transportation modes to coordinate the movement of people, goods, and services. The Plan met this challenge by improving access to and operation of transit, parking, rideshare, bicycle, and walking options. The Plan focused on

creating safer pedestrian paths, separating routes for cars, pedestrians, and buses, and improving signalization and communication between transportation agencies and law enforcement to quickly respond to issues as they arise. Even more critical for gameday and every day was the increased fan, agency, and community engagement. The process for developing the gameday plan relied on many groups providing input and then following through with changes to their regular operations. Agencies responded to changing conditions much more rapidly on gamedays and planned their regular operations to reduce the interference with high volume commuter flows. A smartphone app was created for gamedays which provided fans and community members information about options to get around during a game (whether they were attending the game or not). Increased engagement allowed fans and community members to make informed decisions for their unique situation. The gameday activities and focus on improving the fan experience has carried over in a wide range of community efforts in a multiagency, multi-disciplinary and interactive collaboration since it was first created in 2014. The Plan—and the engaged development process—has continued to evolve and meet its many challenges. The plan has provided a foundation to meet the operational challenges that come with Texas A&M hosting more than 200 special events every year, executing construction projects, and transportation planning within the community. The adaptable plan even gave us the ability to handle the uncertainty that COVID has brought during the past two seasons. Whether the plan was faced with increased or decreased crowds, a foundation built on relationships and intentional representation allows us to respond. As Texas A&M and the Bryan-College Station community experience rapid growth, the foundation laid by The Plan continues to support a wide range of community efforts even after almost 10 years of existence. It remains relevant as it reflects the people within the community because it was created with the people and not to the people. Intentional representation remains key. The plan has created clear expectations and a way of doing business that has kept it effective through campus and community leadership changes. Intentional representation has not only helped achieve the goals of The Plan, but also cultivated the relationship between Texas A&M and the Bryan-College Station community as they respond to the challenges of growth.

The City of Oakland Multi-Modal Mobility Management Systems for Carsharing, Micromobility, and Delivery The City of Oakland has a wealth of multimodal transportation options from public transit to shared mobility fleets. The Oakland Department of Transportation Parking and Mobility Division oversees the management of shared mobility programs that permit shared e-scooters, mopeds, and carsharing vehicles to operate in the public right-of-way. The City partnered with a digital technology platform to support their shared e-scooter program to provide a comprehensive solution that could evolve as quickly as shared mobility.

From E-Scooters to Carsharing

In Oakland, carsharing operator GIG Car Share proactively delivers third-party validated reports of their parking activity to pay the appropriate rates per city policy. In exchange for paying for parking through a secure third-party, the City’s parking enforcement officers are instructed to exempt GIG Car Share vehicles from parking tickets.

Staying Ahead of the Curve

Since 2018, the data platform has supported the City’s digital oversight and the mobility management needs of their shared e-scooter program by securely receiving data from shared fleets, allowing the DOT to make informed decisions about where to place new “micromobility” lanes and parking. Going forward, the City aspires to leverage smart GPS-enabled parking enforcement for all commercial fleets — from Uber and Lyft to commercial delivery.

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

Expanding the current technology that the City utilizes to validate curbside parking policies for carsharing fleets, next steps include developing digital solutions that can empower the city to manage everything from e-scooters to autonomous vehicles. Submitted by: Regina Clewlow, This project illustrates how a city CEO & co-founder, Populus. leveraged innovative, data-driven regina@populus.ai solutions to digitally manage a multimodal transportation ecosystem, including shared e-scooters, carsharing, and now delivery services, over the following timeline: ● 2018–2019: Delivery of a platform to support dynamic management of micromobility vehicles including shared electric scooters and bikeshare. ● 2019–2020: Integration of shared mopeds and carsharing vehicles. ● 2020–2021: Curbside parking validation for carsharing vehicles. ● 2022: Expansion of smart GPS-enabled mobility management to commercial delivery. The city was able to leverage technology to help prioritize the needs of the community, including managing citizens engagement with shared mobility programs, requirements for equitable distribution of vehicles, and sustainability priorities.


Hybrid Commute Pilot Program Implementation in Birmingham The Birmingham Parking Authority recently implemented a hybrid parking permit pilot that was intended to support Downtown Birmingham businesses while reducing the frequency of daily commuting. By providing flexible options for our customers, we are able to help them shift daily commute demands and reduce daily vehicle miles traveled through the use of a combination of telework and in office work. The program uses a soft pool option for corporations that defines thresholds and maximums for the number of employees who can park on a single day, helping to reduce the daily use of parking through financial disincentives and price escalations. The program was implemented in conjunction with the recent return to work, with the goal of providing support to businesses while also attempting to influence future travel patterns and balance commuting demands. The pilot launched in October 2021 and was finalized in March 2022. Full roll-out of the program will be complete this spring, featuring a variety of programming incentivize desired behaviors and shift consumer and commuter patterns. The program has been received extremely well by the business community and will help to reshape how people interact with the Downtown community.

Columbus Mobility Enterprise Program The City of Columbus (the City) takes a holistic approach to parking and transportation demand management. Through the creation of a Mobility Enterprise Program, the City has ambitious goals to improve access and mobility options for all citizens while promoting economic vitality and supporting climate action plan initiatives. In 2018, the City’s Department of Public Service consolidated all aspects of onstreet parking management under a new Division of Parking Services. During this time, new city code and rules and regulations were developed and approved to modernize the City’s parking system. Programs such as mobile pay, license plate recognition enforcement, virtual permitting, demand-based pricing, and parking benefit districts were implemented. In 2019, a Strategic Parking Plan (SPP) was approved providing policy guidance and a framework to further enhance and modernize the City’s parking system. In 2020 and 2021, two key recommendations of the SPP were implemented in the University

District and East Franklinton Parking Plans. This included the creation of new parking zoning requirements, the introduction of managed and paid parking, and a complete overhaul of parking permit programs. The culmination of this comprehensive approach to parking and Submitted by: Robert Ferrin, transportation demand management CAPP, assistant director, parking services, City of Columbus, took place in 2022 with the creation Ohio, and a member of IPMI’s of the Mobility Enterprise Program. Board of Directors. This program provides the financial rsferrin@columbus.gov and organizational foundation to accelerate access and mobility options for Columbus citizens. The Enterprise Program includes both on and off-street parking management and consolidates first and last mile transportation solutions under one program. These first and last mile solutions include shared mobility devices and carshare operations. Electric vehicle charging stations have and will be deployed at highly visible on-street locations and new and existing off-street City parking facilities.

Creating a Superior Customer Experience with Partnerships and New Tech Founded in Philadelphia in 1930, Parkway Corporation and their team is deeply ingrained in the communities where they live, work, and operate hubs within the mobility ecosystem. Supporting the city and its people is deeply important to the organization. Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing and Information Officer for Parkway Corporation RJ Juliano puts it this way: “We live in these communities. We want to see our people succeed. We want to see the neighborhood succeed. What motivates us is to do something better Submitted by Jeff Johnson, tomorrow than we did it today.” chief customer officer, FLASH. With a footprint of over 70 locations across jeff.johnson@flashparking.com the country, Parkway aims to lead the industry into the new frontier of mobility. Creating a superior customer experience today and preparing for the demands of tomorrow’s mobility ecosystem are the top priorities. Partnerships are essential to drive the organization towards these goals, and those partnerships help reach those goals each day and lay the foundation for future success. Utilizing the cloud-born FLASH platform, Parkway is creating a more efficient and flexible mobility experience for users today while working towards a more sustainable future. A top priority is providing extensive access to reliable EV charging solutions. In February of 2019, the organization teamed up to launch the cloud-based mobility hub operating system. This step formed the digital foundation for digital payments, mobile reservations, and frictionless access via AI vision technology. Each of these technologies will be critical to supporting future technologies like EV charging.

Parkway has deployed EV charging at locations across its portfolio. Looking towards 2040, with more than 323 million EVs projected to be on the road, expanding this charging network is a critical next step. It’s not quite as simple as installing chargers at individual locations. The foundation for quality charging requires far more. Quality means that charging is discoverable and reservable via mobile apps that provide transparent pricing, accessible with Bluetooth or AI-aided LPR, functional with reliable charging technology, and seamlessly integrated in the parking experience. Digital payment solutions, beta testing AI vision technologies, and other progressive programs are solidifying and growing a loyal customer base. In the wake


As the nation’s 14th largest city, Columbus continues to experience tremendous growth and is poised for success with the creation of a Mobility Enterprise Program. The project launched in 2018 and continues through 2022. Future phases include the construction of two new parking facilities to increase the City’s garage portfolio to five facilities. The Mobility Enterprise Program will allow the City to support ongoing efforts to implement highcapacity transit service along five key corridors in the Columbus region and increase access to station areas and redevelopment opportunities. The creation of the Division of Parking Services and the Mobility Enterprise Program applies the Mobility Framework in many ways. To start, it takes a broad view of parking and transportation demand management. Program goals include increasing access and mobility options for all citizens, whether they own a car or not. The program aims to ensure success for citizens as vehicles are electrified and as the City makes investments in transit service. Utilizing revenues from the parking program to reinvest in new technology and first and last mile solutions will benefit the entire region and improve quality of life.

From powerful data analytics to inform strategy to the day-to-day operations that have become automated, expanding this powerful partnership gives Parkway the tools to thrive in the data-centric market – and enhance the customer service experience. As Juliano says, “We’ve been a data driven company long before it was fashionable or common, and one of the things we looked at from day one is–how do we get the information we need to continue to have the system learn and improve, and have our people learn and improve with it?”

of the pandemic, changes in behavior have affected the parking business from all directions. Shifting labor dynamics strained locations that relied on larger inperson staffing, but with automated access, revenue control, reservations, even monthly billing, the organization has been able to avoid the labor crunch and instead redirect its employees to more critical internal functions. “The higher value work is in relating to customers,” Juliano explains. From a job satisfaction and retention point of view, Juliano feels that the way to win in the new labor market is to give people work that they find satisfying, fulfilling, and not repetitive. On the other side, “We’ve seen driving habits change over the last couple of years,” RJ explains. But despite the disruption in historical parking patterns throughout the pandemic, parking is back and better than ever—if you have the right tools to harness the market. “15-20% of our activity is digital and rising. We have some locations that are nearly 100% digital,” Juliano reports.

Taken together, these case studies paint a picture of how mobility deeply impacts our communities in different ways. The tension between technology, access, and governance helps us better see the outcomes that mobility creates. Our parking and mobility industry has long been known for collaboration and learning. On behalf of all the volunteer professionals who serve on the IPMI Mobility & Innovation Task Force, it is our hope that as continue to evaluate successes like those profiled here, we can better serve our communities and create opportunities for all people. Please do not hesitate to share your success stories and your pain points with other mobility leaders so we can all keep learning and growing!

S SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE DIGITAL MOBILITY INDUSTRY, our mission is to collaborate with partners to make our cities and public spaces more livable, more convenient, and safer for everyone. Core to this mission is ensuring that all people have equitable parking and curbside access by incorporating the principles of accessibility and inclusion into our solutions. More than simply providing minimal levels of functionality to meet specific needs, an accessible and inclusive approach focuses on empowering consumers with solutions that help everyone enjoy the full benefits of a modern parking program, regardless of their physical, technical, or financial circumstances.

Often the impact of accessibility on our industry is undervalued, overlooked, or misunderstood. When the topic of accessible parking arises, the conversation is nearly always centered on issues of physical accessibility. Ensuring drivers with physical disabilities have access to parking is still a priority, but it is only the beginning. To make the parking experience truly inclusive for everyone, we must adopt a wider, more nuanced view of our customers’ challenges and unique needs. As digital parking solutions become more integral to parking and curbside management, it will be increasingly

34

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

important to make changes that proactively meet customers where they are. By incorporating inclusion and accessibility into every aspect of digital parking operation and design, we can improve both the parking experience and quality of life for our customers and clients.

Widening the Scope and Ambition of Accessibility For years, most parking industry discussions surrounding accessibility were limited to the design and management of physical parking spaces. That began to change in


How Digital Parking Solutions Are Rethinking Equity and Inclusion

Playing Field December 2000, with the introduction of Section 508 into the ADA, which set out guidelines for providing access to digital spaces for Americans living with disabilities. When Section 508 was introduced, only 52% of Americans were active online. Today, that number is over 90% (Pew Research Center, 2021). Across all demographics—age, gender, income, education—Americans are spending more time online than ever before and using websites and apps to conduct business and simplify their everyday life. Not only are Americans increasingly online, but they are increasingly mobile. Pew Research estimates that 97% of Americans own some form of cellphone, and of those people 85% specifically have a smartphone. The smartphone also plays a major role in online activity in general, and nearly 20% of households access the internet exclusively via a smartphone. Unsurprisingly, Americans with disabilities are also spending much more time online. According to the 2020 Census, more than 40 million Americans have some type of disability. And while those with disabilities are slightly less likely to be active online, 72% of Americans who identify as having a disability also own a smartphone (Pew Research Center, 2021). As we consider the future of digital parking solutions, we must keep physical and digital access top of mind for those living with

disabilities. But it’s equally critical that we consider and solve for other barriers to digital access—financial barriers, language barriers, technical barriers—if we wish to provide truly inclusive and equitable access for all.

New Challenges in Equitable Parking The potential impact of accessibility and inclusion on our industry is undeniable. Businesses and organizations in every industry around the globe have had to drastically rethink what accessibility means and how to approach it in a modern, digital context. Improving accessibility ultimately improves the digital parking experience for everyone, both people with unique usability needs and without. In other words, improving the experience for one set of needs will improve the experience for all—and that principle can be applied to other barriers to access as well.

Financial Barriers Parking rates and curbside policies are an important consideration in making parking more inclusive. For many years, parking operators have strived to make fair parking policies that still address the unique needs of individuals or businesses,


whether helping students park on campus, or ensuring residents in a destination town can make fair use of their streets. There are also further opportunities to embrace the benefits of digital payment without excluding the unbanked and underbanked population. According to a 2019 report from the Federal Reserve, roughly 22% of U.S. adults are unbanked or underbanked, accounting for about 55 million adults. While there are relatively few households (6%) that have no bank account (unbanked), about 16% of Americans have a bank account but also make frequent use of other financial services like check cashing services and payday loans (underbanked). While more parking operators consider reducing on-street hardware and cash transactions to streamline operations, digital services can help close the gap and provide the underbanked community with alternative ways to pay.

improve the quality of life for all our customers and clients. If we take a holistic approach to accessibility and inclusivity, we can find innovative ways to incorporate them into all aspects of digital parking—from policy, to creating flexible systems, to the design and experience of the apps themselves. Digital parking solutions have another major advantage when it comes to driving equity and inclusion initiatives: the ease and speed with which changes can be made. While some changes to digital experiences may have real world impacts on signage, meters, or other physical infrastructure, many potential improvements require only software changes. This gives digital solution providers a unique chance to quickly have a significant impact on equitable and inclusive access, particularly in the following areas:

Technical Barriers

Having a wide variety of payment methods is a significant first step in helping overcome many of the technical and financial barriers facing our communities. Increasing the number of options both in the forms of payment that can be accepted and how payment can be submitted allows digital solution providers to reach a significantly broader segment of people than before. Alternative payment methods can better support the underbanked community,

As parking operators shift more of their operations to digital solutions, we should also consider technical limitations, particularly for those without access to smartphones. While smartphone ownership has increased dramatically in recent years—up 15% since 2016—12% of Americans still rely on a traditional cellphone, while 3% have no mobile phone at all. And among those with smartphones, the need to download and install an app can be a significant barrier to secure parking. Digital parking solutions must evolve to deliver equitable experiences that support all levels of technical access, whether by phone, mobile web, or native apps.

Flexible Payment Options

Language Barriers According to a 2018 study by the Center for Immigration Studies, roughly 22% of the US population, or 67.2 million adults, speak a language other than English in the home. Additionally, the 2020 Census reports that over 8% of Americans are “less than fluent” in English. In some communities that number is over 35%. For those Americans, having both physical and digital parking solutions available in their native language is critical to ensuring inclusive and equitable access.

Rethinking Accessibility from the Ground Up While inclusivity and accessibility are often discussed together, they are not interchangeable terms. “Accessibility” typically refers to the specific ADA guidelines ensuring equitable physical and digital access for Americans with disabilities. “Inclusion” goes beyond that, asking us to empathetically consider a broad set of needs for anyone whose circumstances or experiences may introduce unique barriers or challenges. The flexibility of digital parking solutions gives the parking industry the unique opportunity to grapple with inclusion and equity concerns proactively and efficiently. By combining accessibility and inclusive design, we can deliver digital solutions that go beyond simply complying with standards to meaningfully

while offering payment by phone or SMS can help address technical limitations for those without smartphones. Additionally, people who don’t explicitly need these solutions may find them more comfortable or convenient to use than the app experience.

major port of entry to Asia and Alaska, the City of Seattle, Washington, is a world-leading hub for the arts, music, and internet-based commerce. From breath-taking natural beauty to world-class attractions, the city draws millions of visitors and new residents each year. As featured in a recent IPMI Learning Lab, Smart Cities, like Seattle, aim to leverage Smart Parking technology to deliver a frictionless parking experience. To help balance traffic, support business vitality, and provide a more convenient parking experience, the city sought to upgrade its 2,200 existing pay stations, convert its parking network from pay-and-display to a pay-by-plate system, and integrate its third-party solution into a fully customizable Smart Parking ecosystem. Says Margo Polly, Strategic Advisor for Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) Curbside Management: “We used to operate a pay-and-display parking network that required changing decals at pay stations to inform motorists of changing rates and other announcements. We also struggled with latency issues from older pay stations that didn’t report paid citations in real time. We needed to upgrade and integrate our technology into a solution that allowed for flexibility, customization, and remote configuration.” 38

K EY TREND S T O AC T O N T O DAY: Digital Payments Through the pandemic—we saw a surge in the use of mobile phones for everything: ordering food, looking at menus, buying groceries—and yes—paying for things. 82% of Americans now use digital payments in their daily lives. By the time we get to 2024, digital wallets will comprise more than half of all e-commerce payments worldwide. Parking is no different. Every driver will expect to be able to conveniently pay for parking with their phones and to manage their parking sessions easily and quickly.

Integrated Experiences Whether it’s online food ordering, same day delivery for groceries or one-day delivery for products, consumers have come to expect that everything is one tap away—and that is becoming true in their cars. It’s not enough to provide parkers with convenience when they arrive at your facility—you need to help them find you before they leave on their trip or while they are driving. When consumers do leave their house, they want it to be easy. Whether they are buying show tickets, making dinner reservations, or booking flights or hotels—consumers have shown that they want to plan in advance and save time. Parking needs to meet them where they are and allow them to find and pay for parking while they are buying those tickets or making those reservations.

Parking lots will need to become digital to meet this need, providing real time inventory, pricing and transactability to those connected systems. Automakers and navigation apps will guide drivers to those lots that support this real time connectivity. In two to three years, accidental parking will disappear with most parkers making their decision on where to park when they start their car.

Evolution Of The Daily Commute The pandemic changed everything as workers across the globe figured out how to be productive anywhere, and companies expect to continue to offer flexibility to their employees for years to come. According to the Partnership for New York City, most U.S. employers expect weekday attendance in their offices to exceed 50% this year. Unfortunately, they expect that to be the ‘normal’ with 84% of white-collar employees expecting to work from home two or more days per week indefinitely. The near term effects of this: monthly contract parkers are down despite occupancy essentially at pre-COVID levels, and

Connected Car Consumers are demanding that convenience at the next level— inside their vehicles and integrated into their mobility apps. Over the next ten years, 305 million connected cars will be on U.S. roads. In 2021, there were already 84 million. Every car— whether connected natively or through integrations like Apple Car Play or Android Auto—will become the interface for drivers to not only navigate from A to B, but to find and pay for parking, find and pay for charging and fuel, and do it all while at 60 miles per hour down the highway.

cities and smart suburbs, the impacts and needs of the disadvantaged communities often get blurred. Throughout the country, from big cities to the suburbs, from San Francisco to New York, on the one hand mobility is transforming the lives of many. On the other hand, the marginalization of disadvantaged communities and homelessness is on rise. There may or may not be a causal link between the two, but both are very clearly correlated. A technology framework is needed to help define the public policies related to mobility, such that a clear attribution of the policy impact on the disadvantaged communities can be measured. With such a framework, a feedback mechanism can be established for the continuous improvement and adaptation of the public policies to keep pace with the hyper growth in mobility.

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

Mobility, as defined by the IPMI Mobility Task Force, is the integration of all the aspects of transportation, keeping the following objectives in mind: ● Economic development and growth, including improving the quality of life and connecting people with economic opportunity, jobs, and community, goods, and services.

Hyper Growth in Mobility Exacerbates Social Inequities Traditional transportation options have posed inequities for disadvantaged communities in the form of affordability, or lack of access due to distant or unfavorable routes. New transportation options add another dimension of digital disadvantage to these inequities; since most of the new modes of transportation including transportation network companies (TNCs), electric bikes and scooters, and car sharing require smartphones and online payment capability through credit cards or online banking, they lock out those who do not have smartphones, are not technologically savvy, don’t have bank accounts, or don’t own credit cards. As parking and transportation move in the direction of cashless solutions, these communities may become further marginalized. These technologyfocused options also open room for discrimination due to sharing of the customer profiles and the neighborhoods they live in. TNC drivers have cancelled trips based on the pickup location or neighborhood.

Making even the traditional transportation options less equitable is the new phenomenon of train and bus stations becoming hubs of transportation and multi-use retail. Making even the traditional transportation options less equitable is the new phenomenon of train and bus stations becoming hubs of transportation and multi-use retail. Often located in high-priced, high-rise residential complexes attracting the younger more affluent generation who do not want to own cars, this can result in the displacement of lower income families who used to live in these neighborhoods near the bus and train stations when they were seen as less desirable, and therefore lower priced.

Past Proposed Policy Solutions Over the years the city planners and transportation industry experts have proposed and attempted several policies to solve the problems of inequity in mobility. Many of these policy trials were successfully rolled out. However, many others failed and were never adopted. As the parking, transportation, and mobility industry rapidly evolves, new policies would be defined to keep pace with the change. The following are some of the policy ideas proposed by policymakers and industry experts in past [1,2]. ● Give shared modes priority in planning and infrastructure to facilitate transportation options for residents who don’t own cars. ● Plan for affordability and access by re-examining transit routes and new mobility options. ● Create pathways to opportunity in the new mobility economy for low-income individuals to participate as workers with benefits in this new mobility economy, and to fund job training programs.

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

Provide prepaid, subsidized, transport payment cards and accounts to the low income or unbanked and credit deprived individuals. Encourage mobility providers to make design changes to their technologies to provide equitable access to those who are not tech-savvy or do not own smartphones. Strategic revenue investment into amenities for the disadvantaged so they do not get displaced due to neighborhood development leading to the risk becoming priced out. Provide refunds or tax credits to car-less households to use toward other transportation options. Redirect transportation investments to areas that have more people and higher needs. Offer unbundled parking and parking cash outs to provide equity between those who own the cars and those who rely on other transportation options.

Realities to Consider before Defining Policies to Solve the Inequities Each community has unique needs. This increases the importance of first understanding those unique needs, and then developing equitable solutions and targeting resources specifically to those residents that are most in need or facing disproportionate impacts. In designing policies that balance the costs and benefits of their policy decisions, policy makers face some difficult realities impeding their decision making.

One can deduct from these statistics that these activities are leading to congestion at the curbs, which leads to increased transportation costs, and thus reduces transportation options for low-income citizens. These are helpful for national level recognition that we have a problem, and to mobilize us to have a national level callto-action to do something about it. But the policies to solve the problems of inequities for racially, geographically, socially, or financially diverse communities can only work if policies are reliably backed by the data local to those communities. So, regarding the above statistics for example, until we quantify how many UPS delivery or TNC trips are taken in these communities, and what the local streets level statistics are, we won’t really know if and how they are causing problems at the curb, and any policy to solve these problems would not necessarily be effective in any particular community. Worse, in some communities the problems may be compounded.

This is not a zero-sum game Finding solutions for low-income communities does not have to come at the cost of making transportation more difficult or unaffordable for the middle class. For example, some solutions like removing street parking or increasing parking fees may work in certain communities as it may generate additional revenues to pay for social equity programs. However, this can also adversely affect the same communities these solutions

If we cannot quantify the problem and its causes, we cannot effectively solve it. By extension we cannot improve upon our solutions if we cannot measure the outcomes.

are trying to help, as low-income residents may also end up paying more for parking or may have difficulty finding parking. Solutions do not have to be a zero-sum game. Technology can increase the overall size of the pie, and if used properly, it can enable personalized benefits to those who need them most, while not penalizing others.

One size does not fit all Making universal policies at the national level, or even at the state level, rather than the targeted policies for the local communities would hurt more people than it would help. As we have learned working with the parking operators from all community types and regions, their challenges are widely different, as are those of the customers who park there, and the communities that live around them. Each community has unique needs and challenges which depend on many factors including geographic, economic, demographic, or cultural attributes. Locally targeted policies would improve the outcomes for everybody.

Pace of evolution of mobility would only increase The mobility revolution is seeing a hyper and irreversible growth. Many new mobility-based business models have evolved in a very short time, and every day there are new models introduced. Some take off and some fail. Equity-based solutions should not be regressive to slow down the pace of this revolution, rather the focus should be on how to give a boost to those who are not able to keep up.

Technology Framework for Adaptive Public Policies Given the above realities associated with the mobility revolution, a technology framework is urgently required to provide direction for finding incremental solutions to these inequities and that would help simulate, evaluate, and incrementally rollout these policies for the best outcomes for each neighborhood. Not only would this technology framework help various city planning and transportation planning bodies systematically create a roadmap for the incremental definition and execution of their policies, but it would also provide them with a continuous feedback loop to measure the outcomes of their policy rollouts. Further, it would provide them with an agile framework to rapidly adopt, evolve, and optimize their policies for the greater impact on social inequities, while keeping pace with the revolution in mobility.

Figure 1. Technology Framework for Adaptive Public Policies 1. Data Collection Framework Underlying any decision-making system is the comprehensive data collection framework. Complexity faced by the equity policy decision makers is exponentially more challenging than those faced by the business decision makers. There are many variables involved that define the communities and the disadvantages faced by them. Diversely and rapidly evolving mobility business models add many more dimensions to the problem. Thankfully digitalization has made collection of data at this scale possible. A comprehensive data collection framework involves data collection technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), location specific data with Internet of Places (IoP), and Peer to Peer (P2P) sharing, Computer Vision (CV), and others, to collect mobility data. The framework also includes data feeds to collect environmental and demographic data, and local business activity data from businesses, and the community social opt-in data, shared anonymously.

While defining this technology framework, we took inspiration from the IPMI Mobility framework which defines three fundamental activity flows in mobility ecosystem: ● Physical Flow: movement of goods, people, services. ● Data Flow: the sharing of data to plan and coordinate physical activity and process transactions. ● Financial Flow: the distribution of funds from the user of services to the provider of services. Keeping these activity flows in mind, we defined the components needed such that when the mobility equity policies are defined using this technology framework, then all these fundamental flows are addressed for disadvantaged communities. Lack of easy access to any of these three activity flows, would only lead to further inequities.

Components of the Technology Framework This technology framework would be implemented on a digital platform, which would allow for agile measurement, modifications, and rapid and continuous deployment of new policies and policy updates. The following are the key components of this framework.

48

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

2. Data Privacy Framework Since the goal is to define public policies to bring equities for disadvantaged and diverse communities, data collected by the data collection framework contains the dimensionalities to understand the diversities and the social preferences and behaviors. But the privacy of this data must be strongly safeguarded, otherwise it would percolate up to decision making process that would hurt, more than help, the same communities and individuals the policymakers are trying to assist. The security and privacy framework involves converting identifiable data into aggregates and anonymizing it to protect personal information, and the trade secrets of the businesses who are sharing the data into the framework. Further, it includes a data governance system to control entitlements on data and checks and balances of data usage. 3. Quantification Framework The central piece of this technology framework is the quantification framework. A large amount of raw data collected and secured is of little use to policy decision makers if it cannot be quantified for the relevance to them. Moreover, although the data is locally sourced, it is nationally shared and merged, hence the quantification with reference to other cities and


Technology can increase the overall size of the pie, and if used properly, it can enable personalized benefits to those who need them most, while not penalizing others. communities. At a macro national level, it gives more power to this system, and of course more complexity. The quantification framework includes a big data framework that enables granularization and localization of large and diverse datasets, collected by data collection framework, and includes an AI/ML that would reduce the analytics down to recognizing actionable patterns of information. 4. Policy Definition Framework Once the problem and its causes are properly quantified, policy makers would have the necessary foundational information and analysis to define their policies. The policy definition framework provides them the necessary tools to model their policies and run simulations to measure the social and environmental impact of their policies. The framework provides a platform for small-scale pilot programs rollouts to test out the policy in the real world and help discover the deficiencies or undesired outcomes during the pilot. Those can be fed back into the policy models, to improve the policy parameters before rolling out at full scale. This framework also provides a prediction system so that policy makers can predict what the expected outcomes are, as well as forecast the policy impact curves. 5. Policy Execution Framework Finally, this solution needs a policy execution framework that provides an infrastructure to give a ramp to the mobility deprived, unbanked, credit challenged, and technology and data poor to get on this fast-moving mobility highway. This is where mass roll out of the policy is executed. The key components of the policy execution framework are the dynamic, mass personalization down to the individual level, a continuous feedback system, and a self-correcting mechanism to make the policies adaptive to changes while the policy is in force. Some of the major changes to policies would still require going back to policy definition framework to redefine or do major policy updates. This framework also needs a compliance system to ensure policies are complied with and the deviations from policy are recorded and regulated.

6. Final Thoughts So where do we go from here? A city councilperson in a major city, a large city suburb, or even in a small town reading this article might ask, “All of this looks great but where would I get the resources and the scale needed to implement this technology framework?” It’s a fair question, and the answer goes back to the macro statistics and the national level recognition of the problems related to the mobility, and the national call-to-action to do something about it. Analogous to the national roadway system, with a grid of highways and local city streets and the ramps interconnecting them, a national system of data and analytics flow is needed that not only connects the communities but also pervades through them. This would provide cities with a localized view of the data and analysis, with a backdrop of national level data and analysis, and would help define personalized public policies that are relevant to their communities, addressing the needs of disadvantaged communities in the most efficient and measurable way. Also, they would be able to share the outcomes from their policies with the national system, so that other cities can benefit from their learnings. Policies are needed so that businesses can confidently share their anonymized data into this technology framework without worrying about compromising their business secrets. With a secure technology framework, Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) programs that are currently performed in isolation by different businesses, can be combined and used as a joint force to bring equity in mobility, while giving the deserved attribution to the businesses for their CSR efforts individually. ◆ RAJIV JAIN is CEO of ParkEngage.

Cur bsid e Chaos Seven Steps to Successful Loading Zone Management By Carmen Donnell, CAPP

I

N CITIES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA, MUNICIPAL PLANNERS AND CITY LEADERS ARE FOCUSED ON MOBILITY.

If people are to move about freely, easily, and safely in our urban environment, city curbs, specifically loading zones, need to be properly managed to permit access by multiple modes of transportation. Today, on the cusp of

the age of the smart city and the post-pandemic era, the future of mobility is taking shape, and it begins at the curb. Why are loading zones so important when it comes to curb management? In short, loading zones tend to serve different types of vehicles, all of which are competing for the same small piece of real estate for a short period of time. Because each type of loading or unloading vehicle has different needs, this competition can be hard to manage and can cause confusion. For instance, transportation network companies (TNCs) and private vehicles dropping off or picking up passengers shouldn’t spend too much time in the loading zone. But what if the rider isn’t ready when the vehicle arrives? How do you keep that vehicle from tying up the curb for too long? Similarly, curbside pick-up of food and consumer products has become extremely popular since the onslaught of COVID-19. But it can take a while for stores or restaurants to have orders ready and that can cause back-ups on the curb. Finally, vehicles that are loading and unloading freight tend to be parked much longer than those that are just dropping off or picking up. Additionally, delivery trucks take up a lot more space than a car. So, deliveries tend to tie up more of the curb for longer

periods of time than most other uses. It’s enough of a challenge to manage the curb for commercial loading and unloading, but when those vehicles are competing for the same space as curbside dropoffs or pick-ups, the result is often curbside chaos. This is no small issue. Our curbs are already overstressed by commerce and basic transportation needs. 2.1 billion people purchased goods online in 2021, which resulted in an enormous increase in deliveries. In fact, the world’s largest cities expect a 36% increase in delivery vehicles over the next 8 years. Think about that. The number of delivery vehicles cluttering our city streets will increase by a third! Already, 28% of the trip time for commercial drivers is spent searching for parking. How much will that number increase with 30% more deliveries taking place? And the impact extends beyond the curb. The increased congestion caused by delivery trucks searching for parking makes city streets less safe and causes significant pollution. Today, 23% of emissions are caused by freight trucks. What will that number look like in 2030? Obviously, it’s time to rethink the traditional loading zone.

PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG / MAY 2022 / PARKING & MOBILITY

Seven Steps for Success STEP ONE:

Know Your Inventory

The first step is to understand your asset. Where are your loading zones located? How do they relate to nearby parking facilities, pedestrian walkways, micromobility locations, and other transportation resources? What’s the nature of the area they serve—is it a commercial, residential, or mixed-use area? To successfully manage your loading areas, you must fully understand them. STEP TWO:

Engage Your Stakeholders

Often, the people who are most impacted by urban and transportation plans can provide useful insight into what those plans should look like. There are several ways to get stakeholder input. For instance, town halls can provide a good setting for sharing information and facilitating a back-and-forth dialogue that can lead to great ideas. At the very least, you’ll gain a better understanding of what residents, business owners, and local leaders are looking for from a curb management plan. Questionnaires and polls are also great ways to gain valuable insight. Because they are anonymous, you may be more likely to get certain types of feedback than in a group setting like town halls and focus groups. One-on-one interviews with key stakeholders can also provide good information that can help with the planning process. Finally, research can help you better understand who is using your curb space and how. In the past this was done by conducting a utilization study; traditionally, studies were conducted in-person with a paper and pencil, where parking consultants would literally stand on the curb and record which types of vehicles used the curb, how they used it (drop-off, pick-up, or deliveries), and how long they stayed. Today, curb management technology fixed on the curb, such as intelligent camera systems, can continuously record who is using the curb and how, and then transmit that data to a cloud-based application that compiles and analyzes the data. STEP THREE:

Understand Project Goals

When it comes to curb management, evolution occurs rapidly. Think about it: 10 years ago, no one had ever heard of a TNC. Now, in some communities, they are the dominant user of curb space.

52

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

The same goes for technology, which is continuously being introduced. For instance, the introduction of self-driving vehicles will force us to completely rethink our approach to curb management. In creating your curb management goals, it’s not enough to just look at the present; you need to be looking well into the future and assume that your needs are likely to change. Benchmarking is also an important part of understanding project goals. There is plenty of information out there about what works and what does not work. Cities across North America are implementing curb management practices and they are sharing their successes (and failures) publicly to help other communities, making benchmarking a valuable tool in any municipal planning tool belt. Compare your processes and performance metrics to industry bests and best practices. You will gain a better understanding of which of your strategies are succeeding and why. It will also help you develop new strategies to make your curb management plans more successful as your environment changes and grows. STEP FOUR:

To Charge or Not to Charge

Like traditional parking spaces, charging for loading and unloading is a powerful tool to manage behavior. Cities that charge drivers or fleets for loading are generally more successful at keeping valuable curb space turning over. When drivers are on the clock, they tend to be more efficient. Many of the leading cities in the United States charge loading fees, including Washington D.C., Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, Aspen, Houston, Nashville, and Miami. Approaches vary, from pricing by the hour to varying pricing by location or vehicle length. Often rates are set to escalate the longer the vehicle stays in the loading space.

STEP FIVE:

Communication

Communication is an essential element of any successful curb management plan. If you want drivers and fleets to play by the rules you establish, you need to clearly explain those rules. It is essential to provide concise, easy-to-see, and easy-to-understand signs laying out which types of loading and unloading activities are permitted, where they are permitted, and for how long. If there is a charge for using the space, it should be clearly displayed, and the ways to pay should be convenient.

Assess Existing Codes and Restrictions STEP SIX:

Codes and restrictions are an essential element of curb management, but the changing needs around the loading zone is a more recently introduced urban planning concept so existing municipal codes may not be appropriate or sufficient to manage new plans. Now is the time to assess existing codes and restrictions to assure that they are relevant to today’s needs, flexible enough for future needs and that they will help achieve the short- and long-term curb management goals that you’ve established. STEP SEVEN:

Technology

In this technology age, it is natural to want the latest and greatest new technologies. But technology is often expensive to install, and just as expensive to operate. You do not want to pay unnecessarily for equipment that does not help you achieve your goals. Nor do you want to have to pay staff to operate that unneeded equipment. There are several types of equipment that can promote your loading zone goals. For instance, the intelligent camera technology mentioned earlier can also constantly monitor curbs to make sure that only

54

PARKING & MOBILITY / MAY 2022 / PARKING-MOBILITY.ORG

authorized vehicles are using the curb and that they are not staying too long. When there is a violation, the systems can contact enforcement. The systems are affordable and can provide constant oversight, day or night. Also, Secure Driver Identify (SDI) technology can help manage drop-offs and pick-ups. SDI uses Bluetooth to manage authorized use of loading zones. Each driver is assigned a unique Bluetooth tag or mobile phone profile, which is then read by a sensor located in loading zone. The technology is like the Bluetooth permit readers that are common in university parking facilities to manage parking permits. Mobile payment apps for commercial loading are another cost-effective technology for managing the curb. Freight companies and their drivers can use the apps to pay required fees, avoiding the risk of tickets and fines (in 2019 UPS’ parking ticket bill in New York City alone was $23 million.) These apps can also be set-up to manage permits, so freight companies don’t have to pay a separate fee for each delivery mobile payment apps benefit freight companies by simplifying the payment process and allowing them to monitor drivers more effectively. They benefit cities by providing data and analytics about delivery and pick-up behaviors. These apps can also be set up to offer pre-booking for drivers so they can be assigned a time slot for deliveries and be assured that there will be space waiting for them when they arrive. Beyond the obvious advantages of these technologies, they also provide a more convenient experience for drivers. And convenience equals compliance. When these technologies are applied successfully, they will not just improve curbside management; they will also make enforcement more efficient and less costly.

Planning for Today…and Tomorrow The next generation of transportation planning will focus on mobility and curb management. Because of the introduction of new technologies like self-driving vehicles, as well as the changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, curb management is already a frustrating challenge for many municipal leaders and planners. The continued introduction of new technologies will just exacerbate this. But by ensuring these steps are part of the process, cities can create loading zone management plans to avoid curbside chaos and help keep traffic flowing and safe for years to come. ◆ CARMEN DONNELL, CAPP, is managing director, North America, with PayByPhone and a member of IPMI’s Mobility Task Force.

Mr. Simmons is a 30-year parking industry technology veteran who joined TEZ in 2021 as its Executive Chairman to work closely with management on strategy, operating plans, and organizational structure. Before that, he served as founder and CEO of T2 Systems, where he helped create multiple parking solutions, including parking management and enforcement platforms. He

oversaw the company’s ascension through multiple phases of unprecedented growth and institutional acquisitions over a period of 25 years. Previously, Mr. Simmons served as CEO of Sharpen Technologies, where he helped the company raise $40M in growth capital and grow its operations, fueling a significant increase in enterprise value. “My continued interest in technological innovation in the parking and mobility industry led me to TEZ, where Ken and a team of innovators had been transforming the industry through modern, app-free, hardware-light solutions since 2011. I believe our app-free approach and functionality make it easy for customers to access and make payments in multiple venues including self-park and valet operations, and I am extremely pleased to be working with Ken and the entire TEZ team as we increase utilization and adoption of the TEZ suite of solutions,” said Mr. Simmons. “With the rapid adoption of contactless payments for consumer transactions in public and private-sector parking and mobility operations, TEZ is perfectly positioned as the app-free innovator. I look forward to continued collaboration with our leadership, research and development teams, and industry partners, as we capitalize on TEZ’s core differentiators to fuel our growth,” added Mr. Lovegreen.

/ PayByPhone Announces New Global Leadership Structure as the Business Continues to Grow PAYBYPHONE announces a shift away from its regional organization to a new global leadership structure, which comes into effect on April 1, 2022. The new global structure focuses on supporting the company’s three key customer groups—clients, such as cities, universities, and parking operators; corporate, including fleets and businesses; and consumers, the drivers who use PayByPhone’s services. Three experienced PayByPhone leaders will be stepping up to lead each of these verticals, with product and development teams also organized to support this structure. This dedicated approach underpins the company’s strong 60% year-over-year growth and ongoing ambitious targets, while ensuring operational excellence across all areas of business. PayByPhone CEO Andy Gruber says, “Moving to a global, customer focused organization will allow our customer groups to benefit from dedicated teams and a more tailored approach to their distinct requirements. We know that our cities and parking operators, our corporate customers, and our 50 million app users all have specific needs, and we want to reflect this in our global organization. This new global structure will guarantee that each of our customer groups can continue to enjoy our services and concentrate on what matters most to them.” In the context of this new global structure, Roamy Valera, a 30-year veteran in the industry, becomes Chief Client Officer, overseeing the client division and PayByPhone’s more than 1,300 clients globally. His goal is to build upon the company’s recent expansion—client numbers have increased by 20% over the course of 2021 alone. One global client team, focusing on expansion and client
