💻 Free Virtual Learning Lab Presented by Trellint - Beyond Rip-and-Replace: The Shift Toward Open Parking Ecosystems 📆 Wednesday, August 26, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. For years, cities faced a difficult choice when modernizing parking and curb operations: adopt an all-in-one platform with trade-offs or manage the complexity of multiple point solutions. Rip-and-replace migrations often made modernization more disruptive, costly, and slow. Open ecosystems are changing that model by connecting citations, payments, permits, appeals, and reporting while allowing agencies to keep the technologies that already meet their needs. The result is greater flexibility, stronger accountability, and a more sustainable path to modernization. Free registration open to all parking owners and operators, including airports, academic organizations, cities and municipalities, universities, healthcare organizations, transit agencies, and commercial operators, as well as consultant members. 👉 Register today! https://ow.ly/VxJJ50ZoTQ9
