How you can secure revenue that spans far beyond parking.

An interconnected society—this is the reality of what we as consumers experience daily. From the moment you leave the house to arriving at your final destination, you can plan, track, reserve, and pay with ease and convenience. Destinations have transformed into something greater, something that we never thought possible—connected mobility hubs and last-mile experiences that allow us to accomplish all of our daily to-dos in one place. 

The parking and mobility industry is leading the charge in last-mile experiences, leveraging parking facilities as a hub for mobility that spans far beyond parking.

As a parking operator, it is essential to implement new and unique ways to capture and engage your customers. But how? By transforming your parking real estate to offer more than just parking. Thanks to the increase in popularity surrounding last-mile parking solutions, you can do just that.

Understanding the Last-Mile

So how exactly do we define last-mile? The term commonly refers to the last stage in a process, especially the customer buying journey. When used in the context of parking and mobility, last-mile solutions offer visitors everything they need, from the beginning to the end of their journey, all in one place.

From alternative parking methods to event experiences, below are a few of the many ways you can reposition your parking real estate to fulfill a last-mile experience:

  • Package pick-up stations

  • Vending machines for food, electronics, daily necessities

  • Food trucks and ghost kitchens

  • Automobile services

  • Dry cleaning services

  • Pop-up retailers

  • Experiential drive-through events

  • Outdoor farmers markets

  • Drive-through job fairs

  • Drive-in movies theatres

  • Drive-in comedy clubs

  • Drive-in concerts

  • Bubble dining or exercise experiences
