Training + Technology = The Best Parking Experience

Your day-to-day operations must run smoothly. That’s why Ampco uses training and technology behind the scenes to ensure maximum parking revenue for you and the best parking experience for everyone using your facility.  

Safety & Training

By investing in our employees’ potential, we develop top-notch people whom we can stand behind. In addition, Ampco System Parking is committed to operating our facilities safely, using the latest technology and training techniques. We regularly review our safety program to keep up with urgent safety trends. Ampco System Parking also has a variety of classroom training programs that aid in prevention. 

We operate more than 400 shuttles, 24 hours a day. Therefore, we require all employees who are authorized drivers to complete and pass a four-hour “interactive” driver training program and competency review before receiving on-the-job training. ABM Industries, our parent company, monitors the driving record for every authorized driver at Ampco System Parking. From the valet attendant to the executive office, all Department of Motor Vehicle records are checked every six months to ensure that employees maintain a driving record that meets ABM standards.  

All our shuttle busses feature Smart Drive, a camera recording system that captures and records information in the event of sudden movements or an accident. The information retained on the device allows us to report the actual sequence of events, just prior to and after an accident. However, more importantly, it provides us with the tools to train our staff on safe and effective driving techniques. 

Safety training is not the only focus at Ampco System Parking. Classes are also offered in other important areas such as customer service, computers and standard operating procedures. Ongoing training in critical areas continues to benefit both employee and customer.

Through international security best practices, strict internal systems, and strict regulatory compliance—including Sarbanes-Oxley and Payment Card Industry (PCI)—we’re a leader in providing technologically advanced service.

Quality

Ampco System Parking places a high priority on providing our clients with quality service. We are not only knowledgeable in all aspects of parking, but we subject ourselves to the scrutiny of customer service and revenue audits conducted by third party auditors. These audits provide us with a score card of improvements that need to be implemented. 

We use in-house auditors to conduct facility Quality Assurance Inspections. These inspections measure quality in several areas, including:

• office/booth appearance
• equipment
• structure/surface lot conditions
• signage/graphics
• personnel knowledge and courtesy

Consistently measuring our service levels helps you and Ampco establish new benchmarks for improvement.

Quarterly, we present the Outstanding Location Award to Ampco System Parking facilities that excel in customer service and meet their financial goals. We’ve also received recognition from the Building Owners & Managers Association (BOMA) by winning Building of the Year awards both locally and nationally.
