On day 1 New York will be well represented from Long Island to Buffalo and in-between discussing post-summer operations.

On Day 2 Cindy Campbell from IPMI will provide a session on the new customer service experience. Anyone that has ever attended one of Cindy’s presentations knows she is high energy yet very informative and down to earth..

NYSPTA Update: 6/17/2020

Hello NYSPTA Friends,

After thorough outreach and deliberation, for the first time in nearly 30 years, the New York State Parking and Transportation Association Board of Directors has decided to cancel the annual Fall Conference and Expo scheduled for October 13th-15th in Watkins Glen, NY. This is not the outcome we had hoped for but as you are likely aware New York has been hit harder than any other region of the country. Although social and physical distancing restrictions are being eased throughout the state the financial picture remains grim for the foreseeable future. We believe each and every one of you is ready for a fun, educational, in-person event but the resources simply may not be there for your organization or yourself to support attendance. With that being said, we are planning to move forward with a number of remote events in 2020 as well as in-person events in 2021, many of which will be at a reduced or no cost to NYSPTA members.

  • Seeking Fall 2020 event ideas either remote or in-person.

  • January 2021: NYSPTA Roundtable Discussion. Location TBD

  • April 2021: NYC Spring Professional Development Workshop

  • June 2021: Summer Retreat in Syracuse, NY

  • October 2021: Fall Conference and Expo in Watkins Glen, NY.

Sincerely,

Jason M. Jones, NYSPTA President

NEPC & NYSPTA webinar: June 17th. Beyond the Curve: Post-Pandemic Back to Work for Employees & Employers

Beyond the Curve: Post-Pandemic Back to Work for Employees and Employers. Register here:

The COVID-19 crisis has rocked all of our communities, and particularly the parking, transportation, and mobility industry to a significant degree. Municipalities, universities, healthcare institutions, private operators, and more across our region (and the country) laid off or furloughed thousands of employees. However, as communities begin to reopen, what does this look like for organizations faced with safely and effectively reintroducing employees back into the workplace and their daily routines?

Join NEPC and NYSPTA on June 17 for a virtual discussion of what reopening could look like, as well as strategies for keeping employees safe and comfortable, while giving them the tools and resources to effectively do their jobs. Topics will include:

• Physical logistics of bringing employees back, including their interactions with each other and the public, testing and monitoring, and distributing and enforcing personal protective equipment.

• Human resource considerations like the rehiring process, implementing personal safety policies, and monitoring employee mental health and wellness.


• The new workplace. Will remote work policies be relaxed, and for how long? How will offices be set up to ensure personal distancing? How will crisis management procedures be revised?

This joint webinar is open to members and non-members throughout the region and beyond. We hope to continue to support parking, transportation, and mobility professionals with the information, updates, and resources to help you and your team navigate this critical time and lead your organization into the future.

NYSPTA member UAlbany opens 1st upstate Covid-19 testing site

On Monday, April 6th, NYSPTA member and home to our President Jason M. Jones, UAlbany turned its Colonial Quad parking lot over to the Department of State to serve as a drive-through testing site. As you may know, drive-through sampling sites are a critical part of the Governor’s strategy to combat COVID-19. These facilities reduce density and the potential for spread by keeping those potentially affected out of area healthcare facilities and hospitals.

Is your operation doing anything to help support this fight? If so, we would like to showcase your efforts in our upcoming Spring 2020 newsletter. Send information here.
