Tuesday, September 2, 2025, 10:00 AM (EST)

Join us via Zoom: https://charlotte-edu.zoom.us/j/95926745605

About the Webinar

Parking is one of the most visible services in any city, but also one of the toughest to manage. As urban areas grow and change, outdated policies and infrastructure often can’t keep up. In this session, we’ll explore how cities are rethinking parking by utilizing real-time data to create smarter, more livable communities.

Join us to explore how municipalities across the U.S. and Europe are collecting and utilizing data, often through existing tools, to inform decisions on zoning, pricing, curb use, and long-term mobility plans. You’ll also hear how front-line staff play a vital role in gathering and using this data to improve day-to-day operations.

Whether you’re in planning, enforcement, or administration, this webinar will provide ideas and examples that you can apply immediately.

With tools like license plate recognition and automated billing, the system replaces manual processes with a streamlined, data-driven approach that improves compliance, reduces curb congestion, and enhances the overall guest experience.

Whether you’re in the airport, municipal, or parking space, this session will give you a look at how real-time curb management can make a big impact—without requiring major infrastructure upgrades.
