Barbara Chance, PhD, is a visionary and leading light in the parking profession. She began her career as a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, teaching in the Council for Advanced Transportation Studies.

Philadelphia was among the first US cities to form a single responsibility center for parking.
Active from the earliest days of IPMI and its predecessor associations, Chance has served on its Board of Directors and multiple committees. She taught the parking management component of the CAPP program its initial 20 years and was among the first to grasp the significance of IPMI’s Parking Matters program, helping to advance its efforts to improve perceptions of parking management as a profession. As CEO of CHANCE Management Advisors, Inc., she has shared her expertise in cities throughout the world.
