Background, Industry Role, and Additional Resources
EVs and charging infrastructure are poised to transform the parking, transportation, and mobility industry. The launch of the NEVI program, along with federal, state, and local funding, policies, and programs, represents a generational opportunity for the industry to play a pivotal role to plan, deploy, and maintain required charging infrastructure to advance the adoption of EVs and electrification across the nation.

“The adoption of electric vehicles for both patrons and fleets in parking, transportation, and mobility represents a sea change in our industry,” said Shawn Conrad, CAE, CEO of the International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI). “The NEVI program, along with the multitude of federal, state, and local incentives, will help support this massive initiative nationwide towards smarter cities, greener infrastructure, and greater mobility options. The International Parking & Mobility Institute has launched this survey and several programs in the areas of electrification and EV readiness for our members and the industry at large. We look forward to advancing EV adoption throughout our membership to the benefit of our members, our communities, and the nation.”

Gary Means, CAPP, IPMI Board Chair shared his perspective on our role as an organization to shape the industry's guidelines on deploying additional EV capacity: "IPMI initiated the EV Readiness Survey to collect critical data to help our members assess their readiness to deploy charging capacity for patrons and the greater communities that we serve. We are dedicated to driving the industry forward to create greater mobility choices, including support for electric vehicles. Results will be used to develop research and resources that help professionals prepare for anticipated demand, as well as enhanced services for fleets.  We encourage you to respond and share the survey with your networks so we can maximize our impact to support electrification and greater sustainability programs and policies."

IPMI Launches Parking & Mobility Accessibility Survey

IPMI Launches Parking & Mobility Accessibility Survey

October 18, 2023

IPMI has just issued a new national survey to capture critical benchmarks and data on the state of the industry’s policies, programs, and practices on accessibility in parking, transportation, and mobility operations and programs.

We are seeking your feedback as professionals in the industry across all market sectors. The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete, and includes questions designed to measure industry performance, assess current practices, and identify barriers and challenges as we plan for greater mobility and accessibility for all patrons.

Take the IPMI Parking & Mobility Accessibility Survey Now.

Improving Accessibility Across the Board

Although the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act made discrimination against people with disabilities in transportation illegal, ensuring sufficient accessible parking remains an ongoing challenge. Municipalities face a daunting challenge; they must provide accessible parking for disabled patrons, meet the growing demands of an aging population, and tackle widespread abuse to ensure that spaces are available for those who need them.

 

For millions of Americans with mobility disabilities, the inability to park near destinations can be a frequent occurrence that profoundly affects their ability to lead independent lives.

According to the Accessible Parking Coalition, of which IPMI is a founding member:

  • 69% of people with disabilities have problems finding accessible parking.
  • 96% say parking availability is important to leading an independent life.
  • 52% have decided not to make a trip because of concerns about finding parking.
“Improving accessibility and equity in parking, transportation, and mobility operations is critical to our organization, our Board of Directors, our membership, and the industry at large. IPMI founded the Accessible Parking Coalition to improve accessibility for disabled patrons, increase transportation options, and ensure available spaces to meet their transportation needs, securing greater access to economic opportunity, healthcare, and community services.

 

The IPMI Accessibility Task Force is developing meaningful benchmarks, resources, and best practices to improve accessibility for all patrons. This survey is our critical next step to provide current research to form the foundation of our efforts to improve transportation mobility for patrons requiring accessible parking and related resources.” 

 

Shawn Conrad, CAE, CEO
International Parking & Mobility Institute

About the IPMI Accessibility Task Force

IPMI is committed to improving access and equity across parking, transportation, and mobility programs. We recognize that every city’s regulatory structure, operations, needs, and demands will differ – but the challenge of greater accessibility for disabled patrons is nearly universal. The expert working group develops targeted and impactful resources of benefit to IPMI members and our industry at large to improve accessibility in parking and transportation programs nationwide.
