ABOUT
How Did The Story Start?
----------
9 years ago, there was the idea to centralize all the information concerning parking at one place on the Internet. In co-operation with the EPA, this platform was launched in 1996 and has grown into the worlds' largest information source on parking.
----------
Why Is Parking Network A Success?
----------
The parking industry is overloaded with information. Finding qualified information is difficult. Due to time constraints professionals cannot read all this information. Parking Network gives the professional the opportunity to find well structured qualified information in one place on the Internet at any time and any place without any costs. Also, the platform enables the visitor to find unbiased vendor information.
