This episode is brought to you by Parkalytics. I wish this solution was around when I was an operator and consultant doing parking studies and chasing parking lease deals. What Parkalytics does is that they will take drone images of parking lots and/or on-street parking for a given time period and then upload those images into their parkalytics software. Within a matter of seconds, it will provide you parking counts, turnover studies, utilization studies, you name it. You can now wow your clients or supervisors by having a complete snapshot of the parking usage for a fraction of the price of a traditional parking study. Learn more at parkalytics.com.
