It offers a roadmap for new and existing parking facilities to use innovative, solutions-oriented strategies.
Over 150 new and existing projects in 10 countries, 24 U.S. states and D.C. have registered or certified with Parksmart. These include office buildings, airports, college campuses, etc.

Parksmart certification isn’t just about meeting a certification; it’s about embracing a mindset of sustainability, innovation, and operational excellence. By achieving Parksmart certification, parking facilities signal their commitment to reducing environmental impact, optimizing resource usage, and enhancing user experience.
Moreover, Parksmart certification can improve a facility’s reputation, attract environmentally conscious customers, and even lead to cost savings through efficient resource management and reduced maintenance needs.
