Parking Education to Get Push

The International Parking Institute (IPI) announced a new partnership January 3rd with the Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education (MAFSE), which is affiliated with AAA Mid-Atlantic, “to collaborate on the development of parking education programs for drivers.”

“Being knowledgeable about parking is an essential and often undervalued part of being a good driver,” explains Shawn Conrad, executive director of IPI.

I was especially interested to read that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says “parking-related crashes account for more than 20 percent of automobile insurance claims.”
