Parking garage or lot solutions simplify the parking process, offering increased security and convenience. City Parking owns over 150 parking garages across New York City. Here is more information about different parking solutions:
Parking Staff Attendants and Valets
Having attendants in a parking garage or lot makes it easier to monitor garage processes. Gate attendants oversee the entrances and exits of the garage or lot. During the entry or exit process, they check permits and monitor payment transactions. This helps prevent fraud and stops unauthorized drivers from entering the garage. Parking attendants can also direct drivers through the garage, providing additional information about employee or accessible parking, and answer questions as needed.
Valet parking allows an attendant to park guests’ cars in authorized parking locations in the garage or lot. This helps prevent drivers from parking in reserved spots, stopping them from accidentally blocking access to other drivers. This preserves accessible locations and employee spaces for the appropriate vehicles. It also prevents unauthorized access to vehicles. Our attendants are required to go through background checks and drug tests.
The presence of garage attendants offers additional security, as this can prevent threats such as vehicle theft and attempted muggings. Attendants also complete regular cleanings and inspections of the garage, helping keep it in good condition to promote its use. Regular inspections allow security cameras and lights to be replaced as needed, providing higher levels of security.
Automated and Self-Service Entries
Some garages or lots offer self-service stations at the entrance. These stations allow drivers to scan permits or codes to enter the parking area. Self-service provides a faster entrance process, easing the traffic flow and helping other drivers be on time for their obligations.
Automated entries help increase security by utilizing license plate scanning and recognition technology. With this technology, the vehicle information is logged and checked against a database, which can be shared across different garages. This prevents unauthorized access to the garage, preserving reserved parking spaces. It also saves time for repeat guests, such as employees or tenants.
Digital Passes and Parking Subscriptions
Digital parking passes allow drivers to purchase permits ahead of time, whether through an app or a website. Drivers are then able to store the passes on their phones, preventing them from losing physical permits. This saves time from having to purchase a pass at the entrance or at a meter, helping drivers avoid the circumstance of not having the correct payment method.
Parking subscriptions allow drivers to find and reserve parking spaces ahead of time. With some websites, drivers can look up a specific area of the city they are traveling to and find parking spaces nearby. Reserving a place ahead of time allows guests to catch connecting transportation and be on time to work, performances, and appointments.
Daily and monthly parking subscriptions are also available. A daily pass is appropriate for drivers who are visiting a city for a few days, while employees or tenants can use the monthly subscription to reserve regular parking places near their apartment or work site. Depending on the company, subscriptions may be valid across multiple garages. This makes it easier for employees who travel across the city as part of their profession. City Parking allows monthly subscribers to manage their accounts online and set up automatic payments.
Having access to a regular parking spot allows drivers to find and use a garage or lot that has the features they need. This includes larger parking spaces for oversized vehicles and accessible parking for individuals with disabilities. Some garages offer electric vehicle charging stations, allowing guests to charge their cars while at work. Employees who work overnight shifts can find and utilize garages that are open 24 hours.
