Core offering

Gateway Parking Services (GPS Parking) is a specialized parking industry consultancy that combines physical parking design with digital marketing and SEO services. The firm provides strategic parking consulting, facility design, asset optimization, reputation management, and SEO/digital marketing services exclusively for parking operators, real estate developers, municipalities, and institutions.

Product overview

Gateway Parking Services (GPS Parking) operates as a parking-focused consulting and digital marketing agency rather than a traditional software platform. The company offers an integrated suite of six core service offerings: Strategic Parking Consulting, Parking Design, Parking Asset Optimization, Reputation Management, SEO for Parking, and Digital Marketing Agency services—all built exclusively for the parking sector. These services are designed to work together through a phased approach (Assess, Strategize, Execute, Review, Advance, Digital) that takes parking facilities from initial evaluation through full digital optimization. Additionally, the company publishes Parkonomics, a practitioner research platform covering parking economics and urban mobility topics.

Direct peers

• Timothy Haahs & Associates: Timothy Haahs is a parking architecture, consulting, and design firm serving operators, institutions, and developers. Closely comparable to GPS Parking on the physical-design side of the offering and a known competitor for institutional parking engagements.
• Rich & Associates: Rich & Associates is a parking consulting firm providing operational audits, feasibility studies, and management advisory services to operators and municipalities. Directly comparable to GPS Parking's strategic parking consulting service line.
• DESMAN Associates: DESMAN is a long-standing parking planning, design, and consulting firm. Overlaps directly with GPS Parking's parking design and strategic consulting services for operators, developers, and municipalities.
• Walker Consultants / Kimley-Horn: Walker Consultants was the largest dedicated parking consulting and design firm in North America before being acquired by Kimley-Horn. Directly comparable to GPS Parking on parking consulting, facility design, and structural engineering, though at materially greater scale and with broader transportation adjacency.
• Watermark (formerly The Brigeport Group): Watermark is a parking consulting and operations advisory firm serving operators, investors, and municipalities. Overlaps with GPS Parking on operational optimization, due diligence, and asset strategy.

Others

• SpotHero: SpotHero is a digital parking marketplace and a featured partner of GPS Parking. Not a direct competitor — instead, the firm implements and markets for parking operators within SpotHero's distribution channel.
• ParkWhiz: ParkWhiz (now part of SpotHero) is a parking reservations marketplace and a featured partner of GPS Parking. Comparable as an ecosystem participant the firm integrates with rather than as a competitor.

Broad incumbents

• SP Plus Corporation (SP+): SP+ is a large North American parking management and transportation services provider operating thousands of locations. A broader incumbent that competes for institutional and commercial parking engagements GPS Parking advises on, though SP+ is an operator rather than a consultancy.
• ABM Industries: ABM Industries is a large facility-services conglomerate that, through ABM Parking & Transportation, provides outsourced parking operations and management for commercial real estate, hospitals, and institutions. It is a broader incumbent relative to GPS Parking's consultancy-only model but competes for adjacent budget.

Emerging players

• AblePlus / Able Engineering Services: AblePlus provides parking and mobility consulting including PARCS specification and operational support. Comparable to GPS Parking's PARCS expertise and consulting line but with a more technology-specification focus and smaller market footprint.
