Keep reading to see how school parking management and enforcement with ParqEx’s property technology will transform and streamline all parking needs on your campus.
Advantages of School Parking Management and Enforcement with ParqEx
- Streamlined Parking Allocation: ParqEx’s smart parking platform allows schools to allocate and assign parking to all their students effectively and efficiently. With complete control over the school’s parking via ParqEx’s platform, principals, vice principals, school administrators, and school boards can rest assured that their parking management is top-notch. With ParqEx’s property technology on campus, school boards, management, and administrators can witness the immediate benefits of the system through drastically reduced traffic congestion and diminished parking frustrations amongst staff, students, and even the school’s visitors, providing a sense of reassurance.
- Enhanced Security with Access+: No matter the property type, security is always of vital importance. But, when it comes to schools, security is even more critical. ParqEx’s Access + and Access + Premium License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology on the school’s premises provides a robust solution to the security problem many schools and universities face. With these lines of access control on-site, schools automatically get complete control over who can gain access to the school’s parking areas. After approving all students, staff, and visitors on the platform, these authorized users can access the parking facility via the Access + app or their pre-approved license plates. Not only do Access + and Access + Premium LPR bolster the security of the property, but they both reduce the risk of unauthorized access and eliminate the school’s need to provide access cards or fobs to their students and staff, a considerable cost-reduction opportunity.
- Simplified Guest Parking: We have already briefly alluded to guest parking above, but let us focus on how ParqEx’s GuestParq feature simplifies all guest parking needs at schools and universities. As everyone has experienced, guest parking can be a nuisance. Whether managing visitor parking or trying to find it, it is never easy. Luckily, ParqEx’s GuestParq platform simplifies the guest parking experience. Before visitors arrive on campus, school administrators can issue digital parking passes for their visitors and send them to their guests via text, within the app, or through email. With their digital ParqEx parking passes and reservations, guests can access the facility via the Access + app or their license plate and enjoy a smooth and hassle-free guest parking experience at the school. Wow, your prospective students and their parents immediately through a seamless guest parking experience with ParqEx.
- Real-Time Enforcement Tools: One of the most significant benefits of ParqEx’s property technology for your students and your school is ParqEx’s innovative enforcement solution. ParqEx’s Enforcer App allows school administrators and security to monitor all activity at their parking facility 24/7 and allows security and enforcement officers to take enforcement actions immediately. The Enforcer app lets officers use their smartphones or tablets to verify all vehicles on the property. With features like Mobile LPR, VIN scanning, and smart search, enforcement and security agents can see full details of that vehicle’s parking history at the school and issue parking citations and violations within the app. If more drastic enforcement actions are needed, such as a boot or a tow, these can also be completed within the app. Our Enforcer app increases the school’s security, ensures all parking rules are followed, and reduces administrative workload!
- Cost Savings and Revenue Generation: By optimizing parking management at your school, your educational institution will find avenues to save on overall operational costs. With paperless parking permit management systems, schools can cut costs on all paper materials. Moreover, with access control handled through the Access + App, students no longer need fobs or access cards. Not only is this a considerable opportunity to cut costs, but it is also an excellent opportunity to eliminate the headache of replacing lost or stolen fobs. What about if your school uses fobs and key cards to gain access to doors, elevators, and classrooms? No worries, our Access + App also opens any door your school would like on the platform. Additionally, schools can make parking revenue by renting out their parking spaces on ParqEx’s Marketplace during off-peak hours (will also be enforced via the Enforcer App). These cost-saving and revenue-generation opportunities are ideal for all schools and universities.
- Cross-Platform Convenience: Cross-platform convenience seems like a foolish closing point, but schools and universities cannot expect all students and staff to use the same platforms or devices. That being said, ParqEx’s tech is accessible on numerous platforms and devices, including desktop, iOS, Android, and Windows systems. Regardless of preferred devices, all authorized users can easily access the property with our apps!
