Spokane, WA - Emergency Management:  Parking in the Time of COVID-19 - 1 CAPP Point

This session will explore various approaches to municipal parking management in the time of COVID-19, identifying policies and procedures that allowed the parking team to get involved early in the emergency response and support the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Hear from the City of Spokane’s parking team about their parking challenges leading up to COVID, the pandemic impacts and the ongoing trials and tribulations managing parking in this current environment.

The Customer Experience Transformation - From zero to paid parking in Paso Robles - October 21, 2020 - 1 CAPP  Point

The City of Paso Robles is an increasingly popular tourist destination with a vibrant downtown.

This session will describe the City’s innovative approach to overcoming long-entrenched parking challenges and walk through the creative, hands-on, and even aggressive strategies that enabled the City’s warp speed transformation. Hear firsthand from the Police Department, Assistant City Manager, Parking Ambassador, and other key City staff about Paso Robles’s transformation over the past two years, the array of parking technologies that have been introduced, and how the City incorporated customer service and outreach as a key element of the revitalized program. Learn how this new and small program is surviving post-COVID19.
