Connected Vehicles Award
Sponsored by Trellint
Satnav systems, digital mapping, mobile phones apps and ever smarter in-car systems are enhancing the ability of drivers to search for, book and pay for parking while on the move. The Connected Vehicles Award recognises the work being done to harness the potential of data and communications technology to enhance the parking experience of car, van and truck drivers.
Accessible Parking Award
Cars enable people with limited mobility and a range of health issues to make independent decisions about how they travel. But the benefits of having a car and the Blue Badge scheme only work if parking is made available and kept accessible at destinations such as town centres, shopping centres, leisure venues, hospitals, transport interchanges. The Accessible Parking Award recognises work done to provide accessible parking and to ensure such spaces are not misused.
