Volume 8 of The Parkicity Post recaps some of the most insightful moments from this year’s International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI) conference in Louisville.

From NFL-scale event parking to drone-based curb surveys, cities are evolving how they manage space, data, and demand. We dig into the big themes — like the difference between data informing versus leading decisions — and share what stood out from Seattle to Sacramento. We even had some bourbon and went on a bike ride.

In summary, there’s no single path to modern curbside management, but the ingredients include items such as strong data foundations, clear goals and objectives, city buy-in from top to bottom, smart tech applications, and responsive operations.
