impark began operations in vancouver , bc , in 1962 with a single surface parking lot . the simple concept of paying attention to service , combined with a strong entrepreneurial drive , led to steady growth during the 1960’s and ‘70’s . by the end of the 1970’s , impark dominated the vancouver market and had established the depth of staff and resources to expand east . growth continued at a rapid pace through the 1980s with impark opening its first lot in the united states in minneapolis . the 1990s saw branch offices established in all of canada’s major cities – including the acquisition of canada’s ( at the time ) largest parking company , citipark , in 1995 . this move , along with steady growth in new accounts , established impark as the largest parking management firm in canada .
impark is one of the largest parking management companies in north america , operating approximately 3 , 600 parking facilities with 8 , 700 employees in more than 330 cities across the united states and canada .

since opening its first location in the united states in the late 1980’s impark has expanded at a rapid pace , including major projects such as an agreement with the san francisco giants to develop and manage 4 , 900 parking spaces surrounding the new pacific bell stadium ( now at & t park ) , miller park in milwaukee , and citi field in new york . expansion into new markets through the 2000’s saw impark firmly established as a true north american leader , and a number of acquisitions including companies in portland and san francisco , and more recently , the acquisition of republic parking in early 2016 , substantially increases impark’s geographic footprint and reach into key market segments such as healthcare , aviation , and municipal parking operations .
gary beck , who owned the other share of the seattle operation and is president of republic parking northwest , said joining with impark will

republic parking and impark operate in most cities under cost - plus management contracts , where operators collect a fee above all parking expenses . but as parking moves toward computer apps , remote payments and automated lots , management companies and lot owners must spend more to install new technologies and meters .
is an operating division of impark – supplying valet services for distinctive clientele in the hotel , restaurants and special events trade . we recognized that there was an unfilled niche for a very different type of valet service – one that provides first - rate staff for specific clients and their customers , who were not just a contracted service provider , but an actual part of the clients’ service team .
republic was founded on providing a truly hands - on approach to managing parking services for our clients , and i am excited this transaction will see us maintain our commitment to that promise , while taking advantage of the technology and systems platform that impark continues to invest in ,
titmus said in an announcement of the sale friday night .
this is a ' win - win ' for everyone involved .

fifty years after the late james c . berry started a business managing a couple of airport parking lots , his heirs have sold what has grown into one of the nation ' s biggest privately owned parking management companies to an even bigger business in the industry .
scott titmus , president of republic parking systems , speaks about his company ' s merger with another parking giant while in his office in downtown chattanooga , tenn . , on april 7 , 2016 .
republic parking system president scott titmus , who helped negotiate the sale , said the employees and management team will stay in place as well .
so from the standpoint of the customer , the client or the employee , our goal is for this to be completely seamless . in fact , our objective is that they might not even know this has happened .
terms of the sale were not disclosed . but with $ 370 million in annual revenue from concessions and service fees from nearly 500 , 000 parking spaces at airports , garages , surface lots and on streets from alaska to panama , republic parking and its related republic parking northwest were among chattanooga ' s biggest family - owned businesses .
in this 2012 file photo , parking ambassador chris king works the area around the chattanoogan in a republic parking enforcement vehicle wednesday afternoon . the vehicle has a pair of cameras mounted on its top which record license plate numbers .
the company ' s headquarters is atop chattanooga ' s tallest office building , which bears the republic name , and will continue to be owned by a berry family - related real estate business .
in addition to increasing the geography and client base served , the acquisition brings expertise in both the airport and municipal parking sectors , as well as a talented and experienced management team ,
copping said friday .
there is very little overlap between these two companies and we felt like culturally and operationally this was the best match - up , and we felt fortunate to achieve this at a favorable valuation ,
said titmus , who joined berry in 1995 and has served as republic parking system president since early 2013 .
berry grew up in the great depression in mississippi and started in the industry parking cars for the allright parking co . he built republic parking system into a national company that in 2011 acquired municipal citation solutions , a software system that operates ticketing systems , to manage parking citations in chattanooga and about 20 other cities .

berry , who died in november 2013 at age 82 , owned all of republic parking system in chattanooga and 70 percent of republic parking northwest in seattle .
a family trust that controlled republic parking after berry ' s death made the decision to sell in early 2015 , titmus said .
none of berry ' s five children now work for republic parking , although berry ' s daughter - in - law , ashley berry , works in marketing and berry ' s grandson , britton stancell , is general manager of the company ' s chattanooga operations . berry ' s widow , carlydia berry , also has been involved in the business .

oc transpo is the urban transit service of the city of ottawa , ontario , canada .

the system carries approximately 97.1 million annual riders ( 340,000 daily trips ) .

an integrated hub-and-spoke system of services is available consisting of : regular buses travelling on fixed routes in mixed traffic , typical of most urban transit systems ; a bus rapid transit ( brt ) system — a high frequency bus service operating on the transitway — a network of mostly grade-separated dedicated bus lanes within their own right-of-way and having full stations with park & ride facilities further supported by on-road reserved bus lanes and priority traffic signal controls ; a light rail transit ( lrt ) system known as the o-train operating on one north-south route , the trillium line ; and a door-to-door bus service for the disabled known as paratranspo .

in december 2012 , ottawa city council approved a major infrastructure project to build a 12.5 km east-west lrt line , the confederation line through the downtown to replace the existing brt by 2018 .

oc transpo routes also provides service to the downtown core of the nearby city of gatineau , quebec , especially during rush hour .
