San Jose State University’s Tower Foundation, the president's office on campus, chooses to administer all guest parking permits through Offstreet.

Offstreet's streamlined, easy-to-use solution offers an impeccable experience for guests coming to campus.

Challenges

Inconvenient registration process

Guests were required to find and wait in line at pay stations to enter electronic codes, leading to delays and frustration.

Network outages

Frequent network issues at pay stations prevented guests from registering their vehicles, causing operational disruptions.

Revenue loss and guest experience

To avoid mistakenly ticketing guests, the company had to either direct them to Parking Services for permits or issue “no cite” orders, leading to revenue loss and guest dissatisfaction.

Solution

Seamless pre-registration

Offstreet enabled guests to pre-register their vehicles online, eliminating the need for on-site registration and reducing stress on the day of the event.

Mobile accessibility

Guests could easily complete the registration process using their phones, which generally have more reliable internet connectivity.

Integrated with LPR

Utilizing Offstreet's T2 Flex and Genetec integrations, SJSU's enforcement team is always equipped with accurate permit data, even for guests coming last minute.

Results

Positive guest experience

Guests appreciate the ability to easily claim their parking permit and get directions to the parking garage.

Operational efficiencies

Allowing departments to self-manage their guest parking, utilizing the API integration between Offstreet and LPR, and billing back for usage saves the parking team several hours each week.

Stress-free parking team

The streamlined process led to positive feedback from guests and staff, significantly reducing stress on the parking team.
