Join us for an insightful and practical panel discussion on “How to Launch a Parking Program” at the 2004 Vehicle Residency Summit. This session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to successfully implement a parking program tailored to your community’s needs. Our distinguished panelists bring diverse perspectives and expertise, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this field.
In this session, we’ll address crucial topics such as risk management and the biggest concerns from the city and community, strategies for engaging different stakeholder groups, and creating low-barrier safe programs. We’ll discuss measures to ensure the safety of both participants and the surrounding community, including harm reduction practices and trauma-informed care. The panel will explore the logistics of running a program, from funding and insurance needs to data management and vehicle maintenance. We’ll also cover how to balance emergency and long-term services, work with law enforcement, and navigate anti-homeless initiatives. Additionally, we’ll examine the evolution of programs over time, the role of client advisory boards, and overcoming barriers to participation.
