Parking, transportation, and mobility professionals across all sectors are facing a lot of uncertainty during the COVID-19 crisis. From how to manage the current impacts of extensive closures, to what a gradual reopening may look like in the coming months, and of course what the future holds and how this event will change the industry forever. What will be the new “normal?”
Join NEPC and NYSPTA on Tuesday, May 5 for a virtual, interactive discussion of the short-, mid-, and long-term impacts of this challenge, as well as best practices and lessons learned.
Speakers will include industry professionals on the front-lines of this crisis including higher education, healthcare, municipalities, private operations, and more. Come prepared to share your experiences and ask specific questions to help your organization and operation at this time.
This joint webinar is open to members and non-members throughout the region. We hope to support parking, transportation, and mobility professionals with the information, updates, and resources to help you and your team navigate this critical time and lead your organization into the future.
On Monday, April 6th, NYSPTA member and home to our President Jason M. Jones, UAlbany turned its Colonial Quad parking lot over to the Department of State to serve as a drive-through testing site. As you may know, drive-through sampling sites are a critical part of the Governor’s strategy to combat COVID-19. These facilities reduce density and the potential for spread by keeping those potentially affected out of area healthcare facilities and hospitals.
Is your operation doing anything to help support this fight? If so, we would like to showcase your efforts in our upcoming Spring 2020 newsletter. Send information here.
Many companies and institutions have been hard at work reaching out to representatives of State Assemblies, US Congress, and US Senate asking for relief consideration(s). Please see below contact information with regard to NY reps for all levels of Government. Together we can make a difference!
Sincerely, NYSPTA President: Jason M. Jones and NYSPTA VP: Pat Phillips.

We are writing to inform you that our 2020 Summer Event at Spinning Wheel in Syracuse, NY on June 16th and our previously postponed Spring Event at Pace University on March 18th have both been cancelled this year. In the meantime, we are actively pursuing and organizing programming to keep our members engaged during this unprecedented time.

Thank you all for your cooperation, Jason M. Jones
As information regarding the COVID-19 Virus is rapidly changing we have been in
communication with our host, Pace University. PACE will be going to all
online classes through March 29th and have offically cancelled our event as
well as others on their campus through that timeframe.
This is a fluid situation and we must err on the side of extreme caution. While this is not the outcome we were seeking we are sure you all understand. Please be assured that we are looking into re-scheduling the event at PACE and will be able to advise you of the new date in the coming weeks. We will address at that time how to roll your event fees into the new event or provide a refund.
Thank you for your cooperation.
