Few segments of life have been impacted like transportation during the pandemic. Companies must be creative in how they adjust the health risks of transit & shuttles, and flexible to meet the needs of their workforce. The following is a guide that offers recommendations for commuting in 2020.

Parking needs vary, but new technology lets companies offer a variey of options, and save on taxes.

COVID accelerated the work from home trend. WFHÂ will be a valuable tool, even as workers return to the office.

More employees are expected to drive to work post-COVID, but some companies plan to offer staggered schedules and extend some work from home policies. Daily reservations help employees know they can park on days they need to work from the office.
Parkade works with existing commuter benefits programs to make reserved parking a new pretax option. Allowing employees to reserve parking with their pretax debit cards also lowers the company payroll taxes.
You'll have full control over the level of privacy that's right for your building, and Parkade is restricted just to residents and staff by default.
Have a security desk or property management team? They can monitor membership, ban bad actors and view all past, current and future reservations — so they know where to turn if there's a parking question.
It never really left, but suddenly bikes are emerging as a better way to get from A to B and avoid contact with others. Parkade creates funds that can be allocated to resources for the bike community, and allows that group to reserve parking on certain days they need to drive to the office.
The benefits of transit & shuttles is hard to match, but creative alternatives can help your workforce access new modes that continue to avoid driving. Ride services (for short trips) and vanpools (for longer commutes) offer solo or small group trips to make commuting easy, create productive time on the road, and avoide pressure on the parking lot. Parkade makes it easy to get a spot when they need it, and can help fund alternatives like ride service.
More about visitor parking

From billing to spot assignments to issuing visitor passes, many properties hire staff just to deal with parking. We  automate all of that, so your team can focus on more important tasks, like occupancy and resident satisfaction.
Keep your team safe. Parkade lets tenants rent parking for themselves or visitors without interacting with your team — they just use their smartphone.
Make it easy and predictable to get a parking spot with an EVÂ charger. That's a perk for which many new residents will pay a premium.
Networked chargers, which track and bill usage, are 2-3x as expensive as "non-networked"Â chargers. Plus, residents often park for too far long in these spaces, frustrating other EVÂ drivers.
Solve multiple problems by installing non-networked chargers and charging for parking via Parkade instead.
When parking is rented, Parkade keeps 10-20%Â of the cost of the parking. There are no up-front fees, and no monthly fees.
We offer a revenue share so that, when parking is shared between tenants, building owners can take a cut. It's just another way Parkade helps you increase revenue.
Have questions? Get in touch.
Many buildings have visitor parking, or rent unbundled parking monthly. But getting those spots is unpredictable or time-consuming.
‍
Parkade replaces that, by allowing anyone to manage a calendar of available dates/times the spot is available. Tenants can book those times instantly, at any hour.
Zero accounting headaches! Parkade charges rentals straight to renters' credit cards. Building management can transfer the money to their bank account or debit card. Easy peasy!
More questions? Contact us.
Use Parkade as the way tenants get parking, for a fee, and they can rent hourly, daily or monthly. Up to them!
Tenants can share their assigned parking spots when their car is elsewhere.
Traditional “Visitor parking” spaces wholly devoted to short-term use can be made bookable (at cost, if desired) for residents and their guests.
Have a limited number of EV chargers to a larger number of electric vehicles? Use Parkade to manage the usage of these parking spaces.
Spaces that are unsold long-term, or tied to a unit that’s empty only temporarily, shouldn't sit idle. Make them rentable (for a period) on Parkade!
Spaces unused for portions of the day on a regular basis — like staff parking, overnight when staff is gone.
Getting your building on Parkade is as simple as creating an account, typing your building's address and then inviting you fellow tenants, so they can join the fun.
Transform parking at your community.
