Spotlight On…Reading Hospital

With the onset of the new year, Parking Solutions secured the contract to begin valet parking services at the Reading Hospital and Medical Center located in Reading, PA. PSI took over mid-night on February 2nd to overnight success, literally! PSI currently assists upwards of 400 patients and guests per day.Site Supervisor David O’Mara and his team are truly going the extra mile and living the PSI values. The team took the initiative to leave mints in EVERY valet parked vehicle and also offers window washing services.

Our client contact, Tiffany Heinley, had this to say about Parking Solutions, “This transition process is going a lot better than what we had expected here and a great deal of it has to do with their performance. They, along with you, have been a great pleasure to work with.” Keep up the great work at Reading Hospital!



Spotlight On… Cleveland Hopkins Airport

Parking Solutions implemented Cleveland Hopkins International Airport’s (CLE) very first Curbside Valet service on October 15th, 2008 to overnight success! Parking Solutions was awarded the contract in June after a competitive bidding process. Immediate implementation plans began this summer, led by Assistant Regional Manager, Robert Montgomery. Since the grand opening in October, PSI has been averaging 60 vehicles per day, tremendously exceeding expectations.

Airport Director Ricky Smith commented, “We are excited about adding this new customer convenience for our traveling public. The partnership we have created with PSI to establish this service is an added benefit to the airport, but more importantly, it’s an added win to enhancing the traveler’s overall experience at CLE.”

Parking Solutions Launches Drivers’ Safety Courses

As a part of the company’s ongoing efforts to educate and train employees on the importance of accurate and safe driving skills, this month PSI instituted its first ever Drivers’ Safety Courses. Created and led by Risk & Safety Manager, Rob Jones, the program covers all of the requirements for a driver’s license in addition to the advanced driving skills PSI requires all of valet attendants. Subject matter includes parallel parking in tight spaces, depth perception skills, evasive action drills and overall defensive driving; it is our intention that all PSI valet attendants will complete the safety course by year end.



Upon completion of the course, attendants take a driving test and are assigned a pass or fail assessment. Those who fail will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with their manager and will not be scheduled on the curb until they are able to pass the course with flying colors.
