EPA Awards

The European Parking Award has been instituted by the European Parking Association (EPA) as a biennial award for excellence in parking. Prizes are awarded in each of the following categories:

  • Category 1 New parking structures

  • Category 2 Renovated parking structures

  • Category 3 Public space on-street parking projects

  • Category 4 Innovative schemes for off-street parking

  • Category 5 Marketing & communication (as of 2015)

The objective of the awards is to promote qualitative improvements in both on-street and off-street public car parking and the contribution of parking policy to Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans.

In particular, the awards seek to promote improvements in services provided to customers, effective and sustainable management of the facilities and contribution to urban development. The awards also aim to promote the development of good working practices in on-street parking.
