What Happens When an Entrepreneur Buys a 30-Year-Old Parking Institution?

For the Season 2 finale of Parking Live, Jade Neville and Matt Darst sit down with Kevin Uhlenhaker, CEO and publisher of Parking Today Media, for a wide-ranging conversation about where the parking industry has been — and where it needs to go next.

Kevin’s career has taken him from a part-time parking job at Texas Tech to entrepreneurship, technology and, eventually, the helm of a 30-year-old parking media institution. He shares what he’s learned taking over Parking Today, modernizing an established brand without losing what made it valuable, and creating space for honest conversations across the industry.

The conversation goes beyond media. Kevin makes the case for stronger industry standards around areas including safety, privacy and enforcement; explains why parking needs to do a better job preserving and celebrating its history; and talks about the role trade media can play in bringing difficult issues into the open without prescribing the answers.

And when Jade and Matt hand Kevin the Parking Magic Wand, his answer gets to the heart of the episode: parking professionals need to recognize the importance of their own work.

Because well-run parking helps cities, universities, businesses and communities work better — and it’s time for the people who make that happen to speak up about the value they bring.

Join us for the final conversation of Season 2 of Parking Live.
