FNMS Stationnement

What FNMS Stationnement does

FNMS (Fédération Nationale des Métiers du Stationnement) is a French non-profit professional federation representing the parking and mobility sector, headquartered at 18, avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris. It is the sole representative association of the French parking sector and acts as the privileged interlocutor of public authorities on all matters related to on-street and off-street parking. Its constituents are parking operators (exploitants), service providers, mobility services providers, and local authorities; visible member brands include INDIGO, LPA (Lyon Parc Auto), and Aéroports Côte d'Azur. Its core activities are sector advocacy, policy engagement, standardization, industry research, and hosting the annual Parkopolis trade event co-located with the Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales.

FNMS organizes its offering into six member-facing categories: underground and above-ground parking structures (Le Stationnement en Ouvrage), on-street parking management (Le Stationnement sur Voirie), individual mobility services including bike parking and EV charging (Mobilités Individuelles et Services), delegated management for public authorities, digital parking solutions (mobile payment, smart parking systems), and an RSE (CSR/ESG) engagement vertical. As a non-commercial federation, FNMS does not sell proprietary software; its revenue is generated through membership dues and event-related income. The federation reports sector-wide figures (not its own): approximately 2,000 public parking facilities operated by members, around 3 million parking spaces including 1.3 million regulated spaces, €200 million invested annually, and €1.3 billion in annual sector turnover.

Technically, FNMS's most notable build is an open API platform intended to connect parking management information systems with multimodal mobility and reservation platforms under the MaaS (Mobility as a Service) initiative, building on its prior development of the post-parking fee server API (serveur de forfaits de post-stationnement, FPS) required by the French on-street parking reform effective January 1, 2018. The organization is led by President Jean-Laurent Dirx and has 6 employees, consistent with a lean trade association structure focused on representation and standards-setting rather than direct commercial technology delivery.

Product overview

FNMS (Fédération Nationale des Métiers du Stationnement) is France's national federation representing the parking industry.

Its core activities include advocacy, standardization, industry research, and hosting the annual Parkopolis event. FNMS members provide parking services across several categories: underground and above-ground parking structures (Le Stationnement en Ouvrage), on-street parking management (Le Stationnement sur Voirie), individual mobility services (Mobilités Individuelles et Services), delegated management for public authorities, and digital parking solutions including mobile payment and smart parking systems. FNMS is also developing an open API platform to enable parking information systems to integrate with multimodal mobility and reservation platforms under the MaaS initiative.
