Mr. Drow is recognized as a proven leader in the parking industry having built several technology-based solutions and service operations during his 15 years in the industry.

Drow joins PRRS with expertise and industry perspective.

Prior to that, he worked at SP Plus Corporation supporting parking management operations and directly responsible for the development and growth of several innovative technology business units such as remote management and mobile parking payment platforms.

PRRS' unique parking enforcement and collection service—a service that is legally compliant and a financial asset to owners and operators—combined with Drow's experience in parking technology and leadership, will enable PRRS to expand its services across North America.

"Mike has a track record of driving innovation through introducing and growing new technology- based services.

We're thrilled to have Mike leading the business," said Gabor Burchner, PRRS Board of Director.

PPRS and Asura brought ARC and ARC360 systems to the market to support PRRS enforcement services. These parking enforcement services already active on over 100 parking sites across five U.S. cities. With the recent investment by GB & Partners, it will soon expand to hundreds of North American parking operations, making PRRS with ARC the critical player in parking revenue collection and enforcement management services.

"I am very excited to join PRRS and deliver value added services to our parking operating partners, making them more successful," said Mr Drow. "During my career, I've challenged the status quo. I've championed the delivery of innovative solutions and services in a quickly changing industry. PRRS has been an innovator in the use of technology to deliver their services, and with the recent investment by GB & Partners, we can deliver more value to the parking industry. I cannot be more thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with the PRRS team, and our existing and future customers, to continue to challenge norms and deliver innovative enforcement and collection services."
