People need to park, and your need is to effectively control and manage the day-to-day use of your parking operation. It’s very important that those utilizing your lot are authorized. And how do you manage users? With a fully developed Parking Permit Program that includes temporary parking permits.
You, of course, want to run a secure program while catering to the needs of different users. Long term, yearly, and of course short-term users all need access. This means you may need different solutions for different types of parkers including longer lasting permits, and those that have a shorter life span.
Just like annual parking programs have specific requirements, managing short term use comes with some unique considerations. For example, you may have daily users, and long term permit holders that need to replace a lost permit. Temporary parking permits fulfill many different needs, and based on your circumstances there are products that will work and deliver a convenient way to quickly authorize and give access to your facility.
Temporary permits, whether you use decals or hang tags, can stand alone or supplement your regular permitting program. Visitors can be provided with a permit that allows for shorter term access, while allowing your enforcement personnel to easily verify that a vehicle is authorized for the proper period.
Once you develop your program, and determine the need for temporary permits, your next step is to decide how they will be used, by whom, and for what period. This is an important factor in selecting the type of permit you will use. A key factor to take into consideration is the effort you may want to make and how it meets your current parking and personnel needs.
Selecting the right temporary permit material and features:
You have many choices when it comes to the type of permit to select. From standard write-on paper or synthetic materials, to fully customized four-color permits that feature special scratch-off ink, or even heavy weight punch-out permits, your temporary program can be fully customized.
You can create temporary parking permits that differ from your longer-term or permanent permits. This is an important element for at-a-glance verification. Shorter term paper permits can be printed on Astrobright papers to stand out. You can even Select a specific color each day or week to help your enforcement team verify that users are in compliance.
For longer term use, you can select Scratch-Off or Punch-Out permits that can feature full color designs and branding to complement your yearly or longer-term solution
Your temporary parking permits can be customized with your logos and other branding elements. From one-color to full four-color printing with essentially any image, logo or picture, your permit can match your brand while allowing for verification. You can add virtually any element to Scratch-off permits– even a full four-color picture in the background and custom colors behind the special scratch off ink.
In addition to standard visual customization, you can add anti-counterfeit features to further enhance your permit’s security. Holograms, special foil treatments and even bar codes will help your enforcement staff validate authorized parkers immediately.
Pro Tip: Keep an inventory of temporary permits on hand for users who misplace or forget their long-term parking permit. Temporary permits can be handed out based on request, or you can charge a fee to support the cost of a permanent replacement.
An easy way to keep track of inventory, as well as manage the distribution of temporary parking permits is to have them produced in book form. Temporary permits can be assembled into books and bound with staples or adhesive
