AIPARK

Parking management is a fundamental service in the structure of a modern city.

Regulated parking and services that take place along the roadside constitute part of the mobility system and involve the coordination of various components and a series of ITS sectors.

In the urban mobility system, there are strong interactions between the management of parking for private vehicles, those intended for logistics and freight transport, public mobility, electric mobility, shared mobility and all the regulations that govern traffic and circulation; an integrated management of parking at system level is today a key point for managing mobility in a multimodal way.
Above all, parking is a strategic policy tool and certainly an important economic activity, whose proceeds determine the possibility of reinvesting capital in the urban mobility system; within the 27 EU Member States this generates an estimated annual turnover of around 70 billion euros.
Furthermore, the parking system has been - and continues to be - at the forefront of innovation, in terms of sustainable mobility solutions, in the introduction of digitalization and in the functioning of the management activities of the various components of urban mobility.

In this reality that is today more complex than ever, AIPARK - Italian Association of Parking and Mobility Operators fits in , which since 1991 has represented the most important operators in the service sector at national and local level, public and private, professionally competent in the management of parking in structures and paid parking on the street. A sector that operates with its members in more than 250 Italian cities, serving a population of over 22,000,000 citizens. Companies that operate daily with a great sense of responsibility, aware of the essential role played by a strategic sector such as urban mobility (in which the Association's activity falls) which has as its objective the economic and social balance and which guarantees the functionality and sustainable accessibility of our cities throughout the country.
