The National Parking Association (NPA) is an international network of more than 1,200 member companies comprised of parking industry professionals—people just like yourself who are dealing with similar issues, trends, and responsibilities. You’ll join with colleagues representing private operators, parking consultants, colleges and universities, municipalities, parking authorities, hospitals and medical centers, industry vendors, and full-time university students.


That’s just one of the many reasons that make the NPA the most valuable professional association in the parking industry. Please take a few moments to acquaint yourself with some of the specific benefits of NPA membership.

The Convention also affords members an opportunity to share ideas and experiences and to explore the latest equipment and technologies at the Exposition.
