Objectives: 
  • Recognize and create an HVA to use for future organizational improvement.
  • Write a multi-year training and exercise plan.
  • Plan, develop, and execute a discussion-based exercise.

BREAK – 10:15–10:30 am



10:30 am–1:15 pm | Construction, Asset Management, and Maintenance Strategies Best Practices 


Maintaining and restoring parking structure capital assets is critically important for your successful operations. Parking provides the first and last impression for patrons in your city, campus, or destination.  First and foremost, parking owners and operators must provide a safe and secure environment in their structures designed for the health, safety, and well-being of everyone who accesses the facility. Inherently exposed to the elements, parking structures are specialized structures that must be designed, maintained, and restored for long-term durability.  This session includes detailed training on construction types, deterioration methods, maintenance recommendations, and restoration approaches.

Objectives 

  • Learn about the different types of parking structure construction types and associated design methods for durability. 
  • Recognize the importance of conducting routine maintenance and regular restoration.
  • Discuss approaches for various real-world scenarios, analyze case studies, and review lessons learned.

2:45–5:00 pm  |  The Strategy of Finance: Pricing Structures and Revenue Maximization Best Practices 

Understanding the big picture for your operation from a financial perspective forms the foundation of successful management for your organization, staff, and assets.  This session will explain how to create and assess fee structures based on the evaluation of utilization and occupancy studies, pricing strategies (dynamic, progressive, congestion), and market-rate survey comparisons. Participants will identify and explore techniques to manage revenue appropriately by performing daily payment method reconciliations, monthly access cards, and special event audits, and conducting scheduled and unscheduled internal auditing of revenue.  They will examine best practices in managing expenses, including comparisons of contract-to-payments, orders-to-invoice-to-inventory, and monthly expense pattern changes.  

Objectives 
  • Interpret and analyze data to assess fee structures based on information received from external and internal reports, including utilization and occupancy studies, market-rate surveys, and pricing models evaluations.
