The Future of Office Parking
A new report highlights the impact of Covid-19 on the future of office parking.
Of businesses surveyed, 7.3 per cent are aiming for a large reduction in employee parking. Whilst 19.5 per cent of employers are looking to implement small reductions. Interestingly, it’s not all one way traffic, many companies are expecting parking demand to spike when employees return to the office with 15.9 per cent of companies looking to increase their parking allocation. Other interesting takeaways from the research include:
- 30% of companies believe that employee parking will be considerably harder to manage when employees return to the office due to increased flexibility.
- 47% of employers identify employee parking as a problematic issue for their business. It is particularly challenging for companies with over 1,000 employees.
- 57.5% of businesses are more conscious of the negative impact of employee parking on the environment than they were 5 years ago.
ParkOffice.io’s Daithí de Buitléir, explains: “COVID has been a real watershed moment for employee parking.
“Employees don’t want to return to the commuter chaos which used to dominate their lives. For lifestyle, cost and environmental reasons, we are going to see companies aggressively downsize their parking lots over the next few years.”
