Extending Campus Cards for Paid Parking Made Easy

Many universities are looking to provide students the convenience of using campus cards for paid parking. However, the false belief that the technology isn’t available or that integration is cumbersome has been a hindrance.

Gina Lombardo of California State University, Sacramento shares her experience on successfully integrating their OneCard, the campus card on the Blackboard system, with Digital Payment Technologies’ parking solution. She shares best practices and discuss ideas on how to expand the use of the campus card for special events or how to charge items back to different departments. André Dufour of Digital Payment Technologies discusses the benefits of adding a campus card as form of parking payment for both the students and for the University.

Who should watch?

• Officials in charge of campus cards, who want to offer convenience to students and reap the financial and operational benefits of campus-wide adoption of the card
• Officials in charge of parking, who want to increase revenue and provide better customer service by accepting additional forms of parking payments
