IPMI Transforms Credential to Align with Industry Evolution
IPMI announces the transition of its industry-leading Certified Administrator of Public Parking (CAPP) credential to the newly created Parking, Transportation & Mobility Professional™ (PTMP™) credential. This unprecedented transformation continues the IPMI mission to advance the parking, transportation, and mobility profession.
The CAPP credential was created and named in 1991 by IPMI’s original predecessor organization, the Institutional and Municipal Parking Congress (IMPC), which eventually became the International Parking Institute (IPI). In 2018, the organization was renamed IPMI to meet the evolving needs of our members; it is in that same spirit of evolution that IPMI has reimagined our credentials.
In spring 2024, IPMI completed a Job Analysis Survey. The results illustrated a gap between the knowledge, skills, and abilities that the CAPP role performs and the name of the credential. To better align this vital certification with the evolution of the position, IPMI closed that gap and transformed the credential with the creation of the PTMP certification.
With this transition, the PTMP credential becomes the leading credential worldwide for parking, transportation, and mobility. Certification assures stakeholders (employers, regulators, consumers, and the public) that the credentialed professional has demonstrated superior industry-specific knowledge.
Currently certified CAPP professionals will have several options for transitioning their credential, and all newly certified professionals will begin receiving the PTMP credential effective immediately.
