If you spend much time out and about, you know that bikes have made a comeback in Silicon Valley and throughout the Bay Area. While they’re popular on the streets, they are even more plentiful on office campuses, especially large ones with multiple buildings. People hop on bikes to travel to different buildings instead of driving their vehicles or taking lengthy strolls. Campus bikes can be extremely beneficial to both employees and facilities managers, but they also bring some burdens along for the ride, as well. Fortunately, there’s a solution to the burdens so that employers and employee ..read more

When you host an event on campus or an exclusive venue, you expect to generate lots of excitement. You are prepared for attendees to be enthusiastic about the event, so they might get a little loud as they take their seats. That can be a bit chaotic, but it’s a happy and manageable form of chaos. What you don’t expect is for the chaos to extend to the parking lot, but without a parking plan in place, it likely will. Large numbers of attendees and tight parking spaces lead to disorder and confusion. It gets even worse when you host events in metropolitan areas like Silicon Valley. Limited pa ..read more

You likely think that the valets who work at All About Parking simply park vehicles, but there is a lot of legwork that goes into the job. Valets start their day by securing all the items they need for a hard day’s work, such as ticket slips, traffic cones, and key hooks. Then, once the lot opens, they get to work. During the rush, they run out to greet customers and quickly secure the vehicles in safe parking spaces. They do not have the luxury of walking back to the greeting area for the next customer. They have to run back and keep this process going all day long. With so much runnin ..read more

On the other hand, EVs are powered at least partially by electricity. They have an electric motor that gets power from a fuel cell or batteries. While some EVs run solely on electricity, others are plug-in hybrids that have a diesel or gas-powered engine along w ..read more

Have you ever wondered what happens to your car when you hand your keys to a valet parking attendant? Do they take your car for a joy ride?? What exactly does a valet do anyway? Well, let’s start with the basics… Valet: A Short (Fun) History  The term “valet” was first used in the late 1500’s and described a male servant, whose sole job was to pamper his master (for Downton Abbey fans, think of Mr. Bates and his loyal servitude to Lord Grantham). When valets first emerged hundreds of years ago, there were no cars, and “valet” was pronounced like “mallet.”  Our methods of transportation have ..read more
