The Calgary Parking Authority’s new boss has been tasked to sell the made-in-Calgary ParkPlus system across North America and overseas.
Mike Derbyshire is a former police officer and business administrator from Edmonton, and started as General Manager last month.
Derbyshire sees facilities like the Disney Parks, universities, hospitals and other large organizations with parking needs as potential customers.
He tells City News, he also wants to improve customer service locally.
“Five years from now we will be recognized as a world leader in parking services. People will be coming to Calgary to see how we do parking, they will be exporting our technology, our services around the world, people will be coming to us to see everything that’s going right about parking in the world,” he said.
The Parking Authority is yet to finalize its deal with the Cubic Transportation systems which operates in the UK, New York, Los Angeles, Sydney and Vancouver.
