Most of Them are Telling the Truth

Being a frontline staff person can sometimes test your faith in people. You will inevitably be presented with stories that might not be truthful, particularly if it involves people getting out of paying their fee. It doesn’t take long for frontline staff and supervisors to become jaded and mistrustful. How do you tell if this is just another story? And more importantly, how are you going to respond to them?

When Climate Risk Meets Mobility Planning: Why Severe Weather Resilience Matters for Parking Infrastructure

Climate risk, particularly severe weather, is becoming an increasingly important factor in how parking and mobility infrastructure is designed and how vehicles are insured and protected. Hail is one of the costliest and most disruptive weather threats facing vehicle-centric infrastructure in the United States. As vehicles with panoramic glass roofs, advanced sensors, and EV components become increasingly technologically complex and expensive to repair, the financial impact of hail damage continues to grow. At the same time, insurers are responding with higher premiums, stricter underwriting, and more stringent requirements for proactive mitigation.
