Winterizing Your Parking

Managing for snow and ice whether for Valet, Garage & Lots or Shuttle is very challenging. It can expose a property owner to a substantial degree of risk if not planned for properly. 
To help reduce that risk, we'd like to share a few tips and tricks we've learned over the last 23 years in the parking services industry.
Always make sure you have a plan! The plan should include: 
  • Response Procedures
    • Execution and Responsiveness
    • Quality Control
      • TIP: Know where you're going to plow snow before the big storm hits. This is especially important in garages. If needed, it's always a good idea to designate and block off certain areas for this reason. 
  • Safety, Liability and Risk Management
    • Equipment and Usage Procedures, Certifications, Standards, Safety and Education
      • TIP: Proper training such as snow shoveling mechanics can save your staff from serious injury.
  • Communications and Record Keeping
    • Documentation and Verification
      • TIP: Communication to your customers is very important. Let them know what to expect during a snow storm.
