Parking has traditionally been viewed as a necessary part of the transportation journey—something drivers had to deal with before reaching their actual destination. Today, that perception is changing rapidly.
What Parking Taught Me About Turning Information into Action
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.
Brooke Krieger’s second mobility-inspired album turns parking, curb access, compliance, technology, and even paystations into an unlikely 12-track soundtrack for the industry.
Register for this 30-minute microlearning webinar featuring Uber. We’re witnessing a major shift in how colleges and universities approach campus mobility. As travel behaviors evolve, parking demand changes, and institutions face increasing pressure to do more with limited resources, many campuses are rethinking the role of traditional fixed-route transportation. In this session, we’ll explore the broader industry trends driving the adoption of on-demand tech in campus transportation and its role in creating flexible, resilient transportation networks. By examining real-world shuttle replacement initiatives as a benchmark for this evolution, we will explore why and how campuses are reimagining fluid, rider-centric transit ecosystems.

How Cloud Platforms Are Transforming the Industry
Why Successful EV Installations Start with Smarter Planning
In this Learning Lab, Trellint explored how parking and mobility agencies are shifting away from traditional "rip-and-replace" technology projects and toward open ecosystem strategies. Rather than replacing entire platforms, agencies are increasingly integrating specialized technologies that work together while preserving existing investments.
