Welcome to the EPAThe importance of parking is too often neglected. Motorists, too often consider only the difficulties of parking where they want to park and take for granted the pro-vision of spaces where they are available. Politicians can be too happy to make pop-ulist decisions in the hope that, in the overall state of things, it won’t make much difference. For engineers and academics, parking isn’t anything like as exciting as building a new railway line or studying the broader impacts of traffic.

But parking really does matter. In city after city we have seen poor thinking about parking leading to excessive congestion and pollu-tion, difficulties in finding parking places leading to loss of business and excessive costs transferred to local tax payers – all because the issues of parking have not been given enough thought and promi-nence.The European Parking Association aims to change this by enabling every country in Europe to benefit from others’ experi-ence in parking and to lobby the European institutions to recognise the importance of parking in their decision making on urban transport.

By coordinating technical stand-ards and activi-ties across Eu-rope, EPA also recognises that parking is a serv-ice industry and that the parking industry must be seen to improve the quality of the service that it offers. These activities help

support efforts made in every country to improve this service quality.

This handbook sets out the range of activities un-

dertaken by EPA to support these aims. I hope you find it useful. Your feedback will help us to improve our services to the in-dustry and I look forward to hearing from you.

Parking does not simply concern the indis-tinct needs of private vehicles to stop in the central areas, but the complex management for multiple use of a range of limited spaces for vehicles in the city, both on-street and in structures, in order to satisfy the needs of visitors, residents, businesses and services, delivery goods, etc.

Furthermore it relates to the regulation of the demand for those people who have motivated needs to access the central parts of the urban centres ensuring accessibility and consequently increasing the environ-mental and economic values of the areas. An integrated management of mobility is one of the critical issues for ensuring the functional operations of urban living es-sential to its survival, which include work-ing and recreation, for residents and visi-tors. Accessibility in the broadest sense is crucial to the economic well-being and survival of traditional urban life and park-ing policies and management plays a key role in this context.

Better mobility experienceUrban performance, recalling the notion of competitiveness, depends not only on the provision of physical infrastructures but also, and increasingly so, on the avail-ability and quality of knowledge commu-nication and social and intellectual capital. With this backdrop city automation, the parking sector with the fast moving exam-ples of the digitalization and the develop-

ments in information communication technology, together with the current inte-grated management techniques, is ena-bling the urban mobility systems to pro-vide a better mobility experience to cities inhabitants and users whilst making more efficient use of its resources and improv-ing urban performance.

In the last ten years many European cit-ies have outlined strategies to improve the functional organization of their central urban areas. The notion that efficient inte-grated parking systems can contribute to a sustainable balancing of the modal split has begun to be perceived and appreciat-ed. The essential results being: • an increase in the use of public or alter-

native transport systems• the development of new transport modes• the building of parking structures using

the project financing instruments• the optimization of urban public spaces

and the implementation of pedestrian areas

• the intensification and consolidation of commercial and touristic activities

• an increase in real estate values

Mobility systems contemplating integrat-ed parking solutions based on a scientific approach and not on emotional reactions can contribute to the success of urban re-newal or upgrading schemes reducing congestion, increasing available public space whilst at the same time ensuring sustainable accessibility.

The role of parking

> The European Parking Association, with the national Associations of 20 European countries, represents the industrial sector of European parking. The European Parking Association dedicates its activity to informing public and private authorities that efficient parking management generates opportuni-ties and not problems for politi-cians, decision makers, planners and citizens.

The European Parking Association (EPA) is a federation of national parking associa-tions from Europe. It has been founded in 1983. The national member associations represent the parking branch consisting of private companies and public bodies run-ning, operating and managing on- and off-street parking structures and services as well as the supplying industry that of-fers all related products and services con-

cerned with parking. The EPA aims to fa-cilitate the cooperation between the pro-fessional parking organisations of different European countries, the exchange and mutual support of professional experience among members and may exert influence on measures and resolutions of the Euro-pean Commission and other relevant in-ternational bodies relating to parking and urban mobility.

parking facilities, in terms of space, structure and supporting services. I regard parking areas as important interchange areas. By providing relia-ble information on parking facilities and options for onward travel using other modes, co-modality will be encouraged, combining efficient car use with public transport, bicycles and car sharing. Promoting viable modal choices will require greater integration of the modal networks: airports, ports, railway, metro and bus stations, waterways. Car hire facilities and parking areas should increasingly be integrated and con-ceived as multimodal connection platforms for passengers.”

One of the principal aims of the EPA is to open the doors of the parking sector to the policy and decision makers at both Euro-pean and National levels and to the actors in the field of urban mobility, in order to elevate the status of our sector and to im-prove our visibility with respect to the ins-

titutions, decision makers and stakehol-ders. EPA would like to provide inspirati-on for future initiatives on the topic of European urban mobility

In his opening message for the 15th EPA congress EU Transport Comissioner Siim Kallas stressed:

EPA and EU policies

> “The Commission has helped cities to build the capacity to develop and imple-ment Sustainable Urban Mobility plans. I believe that urban parking structures and policies are an essential part of these plans, as they contribute to the integra-tion of land-use and urban planning with traffic and transport planning at an early stage. Through demand management policies and land-use planning, cities can optimize the use of the limited space available for vehicles. Adequate parking policy is necessary to reduce the use of cars in the centre of cities and parking fees can be used as an economic instru-ment regulating mobility demand. Future clean and energy efficient vehicles will require a different set of requirements for

In 2011 and 2012 an international working group compiled a white paper on improv-ing the image of parking as a service to the society. They focussed their findings in ten main messages:

Off or on street? Concentrated multi-level parking facilities need less space

EPA activities 1. In concentrated urban areas demand for car access and parking spaces ex-ceeds space availability. People can’t find a parking space anymore and start cruising.

2. Creating more parking spaces on street and at surface parking lots jeop-ardises quality of public domain and space for pedestrians in central urban areas.

3. Alternatives to be found in concentrat-ed multi-level built parking facilities.

4. Underground car parks allow more building capacity for other functions to improve the central urban charac-teristics.

5. Shift from on street parking or park-ing lots to built parking facilities has its price (construction cost per park-ing space in underground car parks range from 25,000 to over 50,000 Eu-ros in complex central urban sites).

6. Pricing of parking spaces to be based on the value (close to destination, safe and convenience) for the users (not necessary the consumer).

7. Occupation of parking spaces is time based: a parking space can be used by one commuter a day or up to eight visitors.

8. On street parking (incl.: enforcement) and off street parking in built facilities (also privately operated) is one inte-grated bundle of options, where con-sumers make their choice.

9. To re-create high quality central ur-ban environment, behaviour needs to be changed: consumers need to be pushed away from their primary in-tentions. Penalties or rewards can be created by price stimuli and offering alternatives.

10. Total cost of parking infrastructure ex-ceeds by far the prices paid for parking: free parking doesn’t exist, though over 90 per cent of all parking spaces are free of charge for the users.

> Using those ten main messages an integrated parking policy for on and off street parking can be turned into an effective tool for urban mobility management. The white paper is available for download on www.europeanparking.eu

To address current themes the EPA establishes working groups. In the following we present you some key aspects of EPA’s activities in the recent years.

The messages are to be directed to four categories of stakeholders:

• The parking customers: consu-mers and car drivers

• Government: mobility and par-king policy makers and politicians

• Other stakeholders: offices, mer-chants and other attracting functions

• Media (local and national, printed media and broadcast)

Data CollectionEPA has launched the project data collec-tion to gain an overview over the basic figures of parking in Europe. The statisti-cal estimation examines the number of parking slots in 23 European countries. The aim of this study is to obtain quantita-tive information about the number of slots to highlight this sector in Europe and their links with other activities. The project is technically supported by the Research In-stitute of Applied Economics (IREA) of the University of Barcelona (UB).

The project took place in three phases with an incremental approach:• In phase 1 (2010-2011) EPA carried

out a first estimation based on a sur-vey in collaboration with some of its national associations to obtain data from their municipalities in European cities with more than 20,000 inhabit-

ants. The total spaces estimated in European cities exceeding 20,000 in-habitants in 2010 was: 13.8 million spaces, of which 6.1 million spaces off street parking and 7.1 million spaces on street parking.

• Phase 2 took place in the year 2011 and saw a review of the data obtained and a new estimation model: the up-date presented in September 2011 gave a number of 18.5 milion spaces. Until November 2011 a new questionnaire was prepared and finished in the same month.

• In 2012 and 2013 the last data collec-tion was carried out with the new questionnaire (phase 3), which is yet compatible with previously obtained data, and the final results will be avail-able at the EPA congress in September 2013 in Dublin.

The European Parking As-sociation wishes to improve the service for the customers by providing ea-sy and generally accepted cashless pay-ment systems. The project group on EMV presented a final report in May 2010. As developments in the payment industry continue with high impact for the parking industry, it is felt necessary to support the parking operators in Europe with status information, to anticipate for the future in new technology investments.

The challenge is to bring together the specific technical requirements of the par-

king industry with tech-nical solutions, for ex-

ample to drive in with the credit card and exit and have the transaction

after a certain duration of stay. EPA became a partner organisation of

IFSF, a forum of international petroleum retailers with the common objective of the harmonisation of equipment interconnec-tivity and communication standards for use in the petroleum retail business. They developed a set of standards and protocols for financial transactions and negotiations with the banking industry. The idea follo-wed by EPA was to look at IFSF whether to learn from them to help operators and vendors to get more speed in a European platform for the payment industry.

The EPA congress combines a well atten-ded scientific conference with a trade exhi-bition for the parking industry. 400 to 500 delegates from Europe and abroad attend the international conference to discuss wi-der issues of urban mobility, technological developments and challenges alongside detailed parking matters. The scientific programme is compiled by an internatio-nal expert committee.

The professional trade exhibition along-side the congress offers an opportunity to the manufacturers, suppliers and others ac-tive in this field to promote their products

and services. The presentation of the presti-gious EPA Awards and a social programme further add success to this event.

The 15th EPA Congress demonstrated that:• Professional Parking management is

essential for urban mobility.• Mobility must be sustainable.• Pricing of parking should be flexible

to achieve a sustainable mobility and contribute to livable and dynamic city centers throughout Europe.

• Searching traffic for parking is coun-ter-productive for business in the city center and will create congestion, pollution and safety problems.

• New initiatives, new technology and new thinking should be introduced to achieve the goal of “Parking: The New Deal”.

The congress recognizes that all or most European countries have taken steps in the last years to make parking a central is-sue in city planning, addressing safety is-sues, enhancing mobility, creating more efficient transporta-tion and making ci-ties more attractive.

The EPA congress pointed out that the-re is no such thing as free parking and if the users do not pay, then the costs must be paid for by tax-payers or others. This is usually unfair, inefficient and ineffective. There is also an urgent need for on-street and off-street parking to work together bet-ter and pricing policies are central to this.

The congress further pointed out the importance of getting the message out to the public, stakeholders and opinion-for-

mers to enable the parking sector to be the catalyst for change. The congress recogni-zes that key messages could be:• On-street parking can jeopardize qua-

lity of public domain.• Off-street and/or underground par-

king allow more flexibility for other functions in the city.

• Pricing of parking should be based on value.

• Searching for parking spaces repre-sents too big a share of traffic in most city centers and has a great cost for the society.

• Managed parking is a powerful tool in mobility management, offering many opportunities.

The congress also recognizes that many new measures now are available, such as digitalized parking and other new techno-logical innovations, easier payment and

access systems. The use of these should be encouraged and requires collaborati-on of stakeholders

involved. At the same time the industry needs new educational plans to ensure greater professionalism in the parking in-dustry throughout Europe.To achieve the goal of the “New Deal” in parking, the congress recognizes that as “the case is new, so we must think anew and act anew” (Abraham Lincoln).

Category 1 New parking structures

Entries must relate to a new public parking structure. A car park is considered to be public if any motorist can use the facility.

Category 2 Renovated structures

Entries must relate to a car park, where the main physical structure of the old car-park must be maintained and included in the new project, and the original car park must be at

least 10 years old. The assessment will be limited to and based on the quality and suc-cess of the renovation project rather than an assessment of the renovated car park.

Category 3On-street Parking Projects

Any on street parking project or innova-tion, specifically related to on street park-ing, is eligible even if an entrant’s project addresses only one, or a few aspects of the total process of on street parking.

EPA AwardsThe European Parking Award has been established by the European Parking Association (EPA) as a biennial award for excellence in parking since 1994. A prize can be awarded in each of the following four categories.

The objective of the awards is to promote qualitative improvements in public car parking both on and off street including contribution of parking policy to Sustain-able Urban Mobility Plans. In particular the awards seek to promote improve-ments in user friendliness, construction maintenance, management, design and safety. The awards also promote the de-

velopment of good working practices in on street parking.

To be accepted the entered system must be fully and successfully implemented and working in at least one location. Shortlist-ed entries are visited and examined by an international jury. The Awards are pre-sented in a special ceremony during the biennial international EPA Congress.

Category 4An innovative scheme in

any aspect of parkingEntries in this category can be anything not covered by the other categories where the product or scheme is innovative and contributes to the enhancement of the process of parking. Entries in this category are not limited and could include new technology or a new way of delivering parking services for example, related to built car park facilities.

In addition there will be a discretionary special award if an entrant is considered of particular merit.

Objective of the EPA Awards

ESPA European Standard Parking Award

Whilst the EPA Awards are marking excep-tional quality of the industry in a competi-tion that is taking place every two years the ESPA scheme stands for European Stand-ard Parking Award, a standard certificate that is granted to public car parks that meet a set of require-ments of quality to provide safe and comfortable parking service to the cus-tomers.

The ESPA has been instituted by the European Park-ing Association to improve the quality of service, provided by the parking industry to its customers. Car parks that are compliant to the ESPA invite visitors to enter and leave their car in a trustworthy environment. A detailed checklist, which has been revised by an in-

ternational EPA task group lists a range of requirements that need to be fulfilled in or-der to achieve an award. It contains manda-

tory minimum conditions and a score sheet for: lighting and reflec-tive surfaces, ve-hicular entry/exit, parking areas, pe-destrian routes, wayfinding, lifts, stair wells, security, energy and envi-ronment, mainte-nance and several other items.

Quality labelA sign for display in the assessed object

demonstrates the compliance to the standard. The conferment of the European Stand-

ard Parking Awards lies in the responsibil-ity of the national parking associations that are members in the EPA.

Parking is important for the redefinition of the role of cities, between the “motorway” culture and re-urbanisation. Centralised parking in cities has been proven to de-crease the dependency on car trips and improve the urban public space. However, implementing integrated parking strate-gies is a challenging task, for both local authorities and parking operators.

Urban transport and parking operators interactTo create a better understanding between the different actors in parking activities, the European Parking Association (EPA) and Polis have established a partnership to discuss the interaction of urban transport and parking activities. Both organisations regularly exchange information and exper-

tise about making parking in cities better. As part of their creating an interchange of ideas, Polis and EPA organise an annual workshop that offers a platform for ex-change of best practice.

City officials, transport planners, park-ing operators and academic experts came together for the first time in 2011 in Stutt-gart to address “The role of parking in sustainable urban transport plans”. In 2012 the issue “How can we be better? Improv-ing quality of parking management to manage and balance urban transport de-mand” was tackled in Helsinki. On-street parking and its specific demands will be at the core of the event planned for 2013 in Dublin.

Parking trend internationalMAgAzInE – publication of the European Parking Association

Parking trend interna-tional is the trade jour-nal for parking in Eu-rope, published every three months. The jour-nal provides information independently, objective-ly and with professional competence on all sub-jects concerning parking space management, mul-ti-storey car park opera-tion, traffic policies, con-struction technology, at-tendance technology and customer marketing as well as current develop-ments and innovative concepts – all from an international angle. Parking trend interna-tional is published by Maenken Kommunika-tion GmbH in Cologne/Germany in co-opera-tion with the European Parking Association (EPA) and thus con-tains all important information on the work of the EPA.

Parking trend international reaches round about 17.500 parking experts in more than 20 European countries. They include members of parking associations,

operators of multi-story car parks and ground car parks, building contractors, project managers, representatives of the car parks industry, suppliers and service providers as well as experts from the sci-entific and traffic policy fields, both at na-tional and EU level.

Parking Network is an internet platform that centralizes all the information con-cerning parking at one place on the Inter-net. In co-operation with the EPA, this platform was launched in 1996 and has grown into the worlds‘ largest information source on parking. Parking professionals find news from the industry, events, ten-ders, showcases, interviews and much more information. Regu-lar updates are distributed by email on demand.
