We don’t focus solely on vehicular transportation, but understand the need to plan for pedestrian, bicycle, and a myriad of other transportation means for arriving at a destination, as well as for internal circulation needs as well. This viewpoint takes into consideration the planning, use, and integration of public transit, alternative transportation modes (ridesharing, bicycles), parking, pedestrian movement, sign and graphic guidance systems, logistics (deliveries, service vehicle use, fire and safety) and public information.

On-Street Parking:  As Philadelphia’s first Director of On-Street Parking, Dr. Barbara J. Chance, was responsible for building the consolidated (single responsibility center) parking program “from the ground up”, coordinating the staffing, operations and public outreach components of over a dozen separate municipal agencies into the foundation of one of the model parking management programs in the nation. 

Vice President and Senior Operations Consultant Joseph P. Sciulli continued this work as a consultant to the Philadelphia on-street program for over 15 years, during which time his involvement in employee training, parking enforcement analysis and meter collections and security activities in Philadelphia and numerous other cities across the country earned him a national reputation as one of the leading on-street parking experts in the country.
