Sustainability & Parking Monetization?

• Grasping the whole• The chasm between the

infrastructure we have – and the infrastructure we envision

• Being “intelligent” and “smart”• Never let a crisis go to waste

Donahue’s 3 Conclusions

1. If government does not specify what it wants from suppliers, or does not evaluate what it has received, it should not expect to get what it needs.

2. Harnessing private energies to public purposes can be a difficult exercise in contractual architecture.

3. Organizations (including public ones) that must match the pace set by ambitious rivals are virtually always more efficient than organizations (including private ones) that are secure against challenge.

Lessons

• We’re getting smarter• No one size fits all• Partnerships are key• Smart Parking should reach higher:

Urban Operating Systems & apps• Don’t sell ourselves short• The vision thing
