Principals, vice principals, school boards, and university presidents and vice presidents: you already have a stacked plate regarding the daily operations of your schools and universities. But, with the rising demand for parking at high schools, colleges, and universities, managing parking at schools is getting more complicated. How about this: you focus on what matters most to your students and your school and let ParqEx’s innovative property technology handle your school’s parking management and enforcement. 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! 

That’s a Wrap!

Property Technology for Campuses

College and university campuses are some of the busiest places daily. They are filled with creative, passionate, unconventional, forward-thinking, and brilliant minds searching for ways to continue to grow. Even when it is not the school year, these campuses are still frequented by hundreds of students and faculty doing research, etc. As these schools are continuously bustling with life, efficiency is essential but, more often than not, tossed to the wayside.

For these schools to operate at full capacity day after day, college and university campuses need property technology that can handle all their requirements. For example, some campuses need a better handle on their parking management system; some require an internal tenant management platform. In addition, some campuses need help figuring out visitor parking, and some need a secure access control system for their dorms and apartments. ParqEx’s property tech platform meets all of these requirements and more. See how our property technology for campuses can fit your school’s needs.

Access + & Access + Touchless

ParqEx’s Access + technology amplifies security at all college and university campuses. With our tech, only approved individuals can access any electronic door, garage door, gate arm, elevator, common area, research facilities, gym, library, classrooms, dorm rooms, apartment buildings, etc. Through the Access + app, approved users can access these entry and exit points via smartphones. As only pre-approved users can gain access, campus security has complete control of which facilities every campus member can get into, thus drastically improving safety.

Do some research labs need extra caution due to health and safety concerns? Our Access + Touchless line is the solution. With our full touchless technology on-site, professors, students, and research assistants no longer have to touch any door. Instead, all doors can be opened via users’ phones.

If your school is also seeking ways to cut costs, eliminating all antiquated pieces of access control technology is a surefire way to do it. By ridding of kiosks, keycards, fobs, student ID cards, etc., your college or university is sure to cut costs, all while increasing the security of the entire school. Regarding safety, should a security issue ever happen on campus, ParqEx’s robust reporting system and management platform provide immediate real-time reporting on all access points on campus. Discover more ways our access + property technology for campuses will take the security and efficiency of your college/university to the next level.

Access + Premium LPR

If your campus needs a better handle on all parking management, you are not alone! Many college and university campuses are swamped with daily tasks that prevent proper enforcement of all campus parking. ParqEx’s Access + Premium License Plate Recognition technology simplifies enforcement and management of all parking across campus. With LPR, only approved driver’s license plates can gain access to the parking facilities. All they have to do is approach our forensic license plate reading cameras, and once their vehicles are verified and approved, they are admitted to the parking structure. Like Access +, with LPR, you can eliminate all keycards, fobs, tickets, punch pads, kiosks, and any parking tag system your school may be operating on.

If one of your primary concerns for your college or university is campus security, ParqEx’s LPR cameras provide an additional security benefit. These cameras constantly monitor every vehicle entering and exiting the property, thus giving you peace of mind that you know precisely which student, guest, employee, or faculty member is where and at what time. But to take it one step further, studies have repeatedly shown that simply having a camera on the property drastically reduces crime and vandalism rates. So why not add another piece of crime deterrent to your campus? Learn more about ParqEx’s LPR property technology for campuses. 

Enforcer

Enforcing any property has its fair share of challenges. But college campuses genuinely do come with their flair of difficulties. As they are notorious for people constantly being on the move, campus security has many moving pieces they have to keep their eye on. Using ParqEx’s Enforcer App, campus security will gain real-time parking enforcement capabilities. Through the app, security can quickly verify all vehicles on the entire campus, issue parking violations, ticket offending vehicles, and reeducate parkers on the parking rules on campus.

Like our entire access + line, the Enforcer App is a great avenue to cut costs as you will no longer need any printed tags, passes, or guest passes for all vehicles on campus. Gain peace of mind with ParqEx’s Enforcer App property technology for campuses.

GuestParq

Every parking facility finds guest parking to be a hassle. It is either too time-consuming, too difficult to enforce, annoying to constantly have to validate parking or just too much of a headache for enforcement. With ParqEx’s GuestParq, you can now easily manage guest parking, eliminate all headaches, and impress all prospective students and their visiting parents. Via the ParqEx app, now admissions and recruitment offices can reserve guest parking ahead of time and transfer the parking spots directly to visiting guests via email or text.

Stop fussing with visitor parking on your campus. Instead, let ParqEx increase your security and efficiency, all while impressing all campus visitors. Learn more about ParqEx’s guest parking property technology for campuses!

Marketplace

We know that campuses are only sometimes sitting at total capacity year-round. Of course, as mentioned, summer is busy for anyone remaining on campus for research, but the everyday hustle and bustle is a little tamer. Therefore, during winter, fall, spring, and summer break, we are confident a surplus of parking is available on your campus. You can list your unused parking spaces on ParqEx’s Marketplace during these times. This allows the college or university to rent out their parking to transient renters seeking parking there. In addition, by listing these spaces on our Marketplace, the campus can earn additional revenue during its “off-season.” Learn more about ParqEx’s Marketplace technology for campuses that will bring in easy extra income for your school.

White Label

Does this all seem like something your campus needs, but you know the college/university board will be hesitant about having another company’s brand visible across campus? Have they tossed around the idea of investing in their own proprietary technology for the school? Well, we have fantastic news for you! All six of our modules can become yours through white label! So allow us to be your in-house developers while boosting your school’s brand. Let us save you money! Check out how ParqEx’s White Labeling property technology for campuses takes all schools to the next level.

Case Study

All of our technologies are market-proven and have seen success nationwide. But do you need some extra reassurance that other colleges and universities have had a good experience with our tech? Luckily, our case study featuring student housing in Buffalo, NY, has been using our technology for years!

Back to school month is a busy time for college students, and there are many important details they must remember to address.

One important (and often neglected) part of planning the school year when you are a college student is deciding where you will park during classes.

Though it may seem like the most obvious solution, parking on campus is usually cramped and expensive. Things get especially tough when a student will be arriving at school later in the day, as there are often few parking spots left, and the student is forced to drive in circles until they find a spot. This can often lead to the student being late to class. This is bad for the student’s grades and reputation.

The best way to avoid this situation is by reserving a private parking space that is within walking or biking distance of the school. In reserving a spot to park, you will be able to rest easy knowing that there will be a place for you to leave your vehicle while you attend class. “But,” you may ask, “where on earth would I find a parking place for rent?”

ParqEx is an excellent place to search for private parking places to rent near your school. This peer-to-peer parking program allows anyone with an open parking space to rent that space out to folks like you who might need it. This creates a win-win situation, as the student is able to score a reserved parking space, and the renter makes a little extra money on the side.

Perhaps in your school planning you were lucky and found a house for rent within walking distance to your school. In this case, you obviously don’t need to worry about parking, as you can just hop out of bed and walk over to your first class of the day.

However, if you have extra driveway space and want to make some extra cash, you can use ParqEx can rent out parking to a fellow student in need of a space. This will put some extra money in your pocket and help someone else out at the same time. Let’s face it, every college student could use that extra spending money.

Do you want to know the best thing about ParqEx? It isn’t limited to schools. ParqEx can be used across several cities in the United States, and will only continue to grow. So, the next time you’re taking a trip to Chicago and don’t want to pay a fortune for parking, check ParqEx first. You will almost certainly find someone who is more than happy to rent out their Chicago parking space in exchange for a bit of cash so you can head out to see the sights. The same holds true for Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Miami.

As you can see, ParqEx is an excellent solution no matter what your parking or renting needs may be. If you are ready to get started with this incredible service, download the app now.
