Twelve organizations were recently recognized by the Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign for leading the way in energy-efficient parking lighting. These organizations, along with others who submitted for a LEEP award, are saving nearly 45 million kilowatt-hours and $4 million annually by upgrading to high-efficiency lighting in more than 500,000 parking spaces. 

 

Register here for a free webinar from 2 to 3 p.m. this Thursday and hear directly from LEEP Campaign award winners about their winning sites. The webinar includes a 40-minute presentation and a 20-minute live question and answer session.

 

The LEEP Campaign is a recognition and guidance program supported through the Building Owners and Managers Association, the Green Parking Council, the International Parking Institute, and the International Facility Management Association, with technical assistance from the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Alliance.

With so many networking events, education sessions, speakers, and social activities during the 2014 IPI Conference & Expo in Dallas, Texas it will be hard to find the time to do everything. 

 

That said, make sure to visit the IPI Member Services booth on the Expo hall floor (#935) to take advantage of several opportunities in one place. As always, the IPI Member Services booth will provide a relaxing area where attendees can sit, eat, and catch up with each other between visiting the hundreds of exhibits on the show floor. In addition, IPI staff will also be available to answer questions and discuss existing and upcoming member benefits. 

 

Be sure to stop by the SHOPIPI.COM booth inside the IPI Member Services booth to pick up your Parking Matters® merchandise such as golf shirts, lapel pins, hats, water bottles, umbrellas, and more.  It's a great way to wave the flag and share the importance of parking in our communities.

In Partnership with PCI: Designing High Performance Parking Structures Webinar

We invite you to join us for an open forum conference call tomorrow, Wednesday May 28 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.  You just ask your questions, we will answer them, and that's the only time commitment you will have.

 

If you are a CAPP, we need YOU!  Time is running out! From now until May 23, CAPPs may recertify by participating in the beta testing of the new CAPP examination (at no cost). You will take the computer-administered exam at a nearby IQT Testing Center. IPI will pay all exam fees, and have no fear--we are not concerned if you pass or fail and no scores will be reported or released during this beta testing period AND you will be recertified until 2017! Now, that's a great way to advance the profession and take care of recertification requirements!

 

Those who take the beta test will automatically be eligible to recertify for the next three years (until 2017) without any other requirements aside from the recertification fee.

 

To learn more about the beta test and register to take the new CAPP exam at a testing center near you, contact Lauri Chudoba, professional development administrator, at capp@parking.org or 571.699.3011. Thank you for your helping us advance the profession.

Did you know that IPI provides an easy way to follow the latest news and trends in the parking and transportation industries? Join us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and the Parking Matters® Blog. Here are just a few examples of the stories you may have missed:

The two-day Innovation in Mobility Public Policy Summit will bring forward-thinking transportation professionals together in Washington, D.C., to discuss new developments in shared-use mobility and foster further collaboration between governments and private sector mobility providers. Building on the successful Shared Use Mobility Summit in San Francisco last October, this event will feature panel discussions and presentations by influential mobility leaders in the public sector along with experts in the fields of carsharing, one-way carsharing, peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing, public bikesharing, ridesharing, and technology, all sharing their experiences in bringing new transportation options to local communities. 

 

Hosted by the Association for Commuter Transpotation, Transit Center, Mobility Lab, and the University of California Berkeley Transportation Sustainability Research Center, summit participants will examine ways governments and shared-use providers can work together to create more seamless transportation systems within their communities and connect even more individuals to their services. The event will also examine the role of emerging technologies in shared-use mobility and how the public and private sectors can take advantage of them to reach a wider portion of the travelling public.
