YVR and Concord Parking Re-Launch jetSet Valet

by Leave a Comment

With Covid-19 travel restrictions easing throughout the world, the air travel industry has seen demand steadily increase, reaching near pre-pandemic levels. That increase has also had a positive impact on airport parking operations. With this, Concord Parking is pleased to announce that after a two-year suspension of service due to the pandemic, its YVR jetSet Valet service is back up and running.

Within the first few months, jetSet Valet quickly reached its peak capacity of 2,900 vehicles under care. During busy holiday periods, Concord’s team of professional valets greeted and assisted over 350 departing travelers each day. Utilizing “best in class” valet management software from industry leader ParkIT, Concord’s valet staff has the necessary tools to ensure the high expectations of customers are always met.

“Our hardworking and dedicated Concord team takes pride in serving customers travelling to all corners of the world in the fast-paced airport environment. With over 600 car and key movements a day, there’s a real sense of synergy and collaboration that makes this operation run smoothly. We’re committed to providing our customers with a stress-free parking experience, and our employees are a key part of that commitment,” said Steven Sall, Concord Parking’s Operations Manager.

Concord Parking got in full “holiday-spirit mode” and prepared the sleds, or in this case, our Concord cars, to deliver happiness throughout our communities.

It was YVR’s 12th annual Holiday Hamper Drive in partnership with Quest Outreach Society. This year, YVR set up a “Quest Pop Up Market” where the Concord team stopped by to shop the shelves, fill a hamper bag, purchase the goods, and help reach the goal of 1250 hampers!

Concord Parking Launches New SMRTpass Solution at Kwantlen Polytechnic University

Concord Parking is now providing parking enforcement and parking management services for Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) on four of its campuses in British Columbia: Richmond, Surrey, Cloverdale, and Langley.

KPU has become the flagship client of Concord’s new SMRTpass technology, which lets users quickly pay for parking or validate their license plate using only QR codes without having to download an app. As part of the Concord CTRL parking management software, this has proven to be an ideal solution for KPU’s parking challenges.

“We were able to understand the challenges and opportunities of managing parking services for students, faculty, staff, and visitors across multiple KPU campus locations. A successful parking program requires a modern, efficient operation leveraging the latest in parking innovation and technology. Working in partnership with KPU, we successfully deliver a superior parking management program focused on exceptional user experience, efficiency, and revenue maximization,” said Concord’s Director of Product Innovation, Marc Postlethwaite.
