“When we first initiated our partnership with ParkHub, the focus was on upgrading the guest experience at our venues and better understanding the parking data to improve operations,” Bryan Furey, Spectra’s senior vice president of partnerships, said. “The beauty of building strategic partnerships is that they can quickly evolve to help overcome unexpected business challenges together. Now that we are in the midst of a global pandemic, our new parking technology partner can play a vital role in helping us address a major customer touchpoint. We’re eager to get more of our buildings online with ParkHub as the venue teams prepare and execute their reopening strategies.”

George Baker Sr., founder and CEO of ParkHub, said: “The COVID-19 crisis has caused venues to reconsider operations at every stage of the customer journey. Optimizing the parking experience – which is often the fan’s first impression of service at an event – is more critical now than ever before. Spectra shares our commitment to promoting safer, more efficient processes, and we are eager to support their partners during this pivotal time.”
