The way parking agencies approach technology is evolving. Not long ago, RFPs typically solved one problem at a time: pay stations, permit software, citation management, enforcement equipment. Today, agencies are asking a broader question. Instead of “What product do we need?” parking leaders are increasingly asking, “How do we modernize our entire operation?” What were once standalone technology purchases are becoming larger modernization initiatives, considering customer experience, data visibility, compliance, and integration as one strategy.

Los Angeles, CA – Get My Parking (GMP), a global leader in AI-driven smart parking and mobility software, today announced the appointment of Gary Means, PTMP, as Vice President, Business to Government (B2G) Solutions, North America.

Before he built parking technology, Sean Glavin spent nine years in the Army, including six as a Green Beret with the 5th Special Forces Group, the Army’s elite unconventional warfare unit. Green Berets deploy in small teams into ambiguous, high-stakes situations where decisions must be made with incomplete information. He came away with one conviction that outlasted the uniform: Nothing is ever finished; it is either being improved or neglected.
