Parking During Construction [Infographic]

Construction creates disruptions in parking and can inconvenience your patients, visitors and guests if not planned for properly. Services such as valet, shuttle, ambassadors and traffic control can ease stress and improve safety during this time.

Special preparation and coordination with the facility, transit, utilities, police and other emergency units is critical in the development of a successful parking plan. Specific plans should be developed with the following factors in mind:  incident management, motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, contractors and enforcement/emergency personnel and equipment.

TIPS: 

• Plan ahead and absorb the additional costs of parking operations through the construction budget. Also, think about where the contractors and construction equipment will need to park and plan accordingly. 
• Valets also offer patient assists and directions to your patients, visitors and guests.
• Think about temporarily relocating employee parking off-site using shuttle service to transport them to and from the site.   
• Maintaining good public relations by keeping everyone well informed about your facility’s parking is necessary for a successful construction project.

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.
