Core offering

MSTPA is a non-profit professional association that delivers professional development, networking, and educational resources to parking, transportation, and mobility professionals across the southeastern United States. Its core, billable offerings are annual and mid-year conferences, member webinars, a tiered membership program (Regular, Affiliate, Associate), and an industry blog/newsletter. The association partners with FPTA annually to host a joint conference and tradeshow, and provides CAPP certification continuing education points at its events.

Product overview

Mid South Transportation & Parking Association (MSTPA) is a professional membership organization offering a portfolio of services to parking and transportation professionals across Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and surrounding areas. The core offerings consist of an Annual Joint Conference & Trade Show with the Florida Parking & Transportation Association, a Mid-Year Conference featuring hands-on learning and facility tours, member webinars, an industry blog, newsletters, and tiered membership programs (Regular, Affiliate, Associate). MSTPA does not develop or sell technology products; instead, it serves as an industry association providing professional development, networking, and educational resources. The association facilitates knowledge-sharing about parking technology topics such as License Plate Recognition, mobile payment systems, and AI applications through conference programming and blog content, but these are educational topics rather than MSTPA-branded products or services.
