With over two million cars parked daily throughout the country, Central is one of the most qualified firms to operate the City of Santa Ana Downtown Parking Facilities.

With our Orange County office located in close proximity on Bristol/Sunflower by South Coast Plaza, not only we will be able to monitor the City parking program more closely, but also will be able to provide added supervision and needed support to our Santa Ana team. We have over 500 active staff members within a 25 mile radius of Santa Ana. 22 of them are highly skilled managers. We have an additional 1,500 employees serving the greater Los Angeles area. In addition, Central Parking will utilize our current staff at nearby locations including Bowers Museum, South Coast Plaza. Newport Beach and Anaheim for mentoring and training of our team in Santa Ana. We also will have the ability to mobilize additional staff with short notice by cross training our other staff at nearby facilities. This will ensure uninterrupted service as well as our ability to extend our management efforts, should the City of Santa Ana desire. OUR MERGER WITH STANDARD PARKING As referenced it our Cover Letter, Central Parking recently completed a transforma- tional merger with Standard Parking Corporation, which effectively doubled the size of our firm, and significantly enhanced the parking management capabilities we offer our clients, particularly in Southern California - in the municipal realm. Our com- bined credentials and qualifications represent the best of both firms; and offer the City of Santa Ana instant access to cutting-edge operating and technology platforms, highly qualified personnel, and quantum administrative capacities to yield a local parking management tour de force. By blending the best of both companies, we've expanded and improved the services and products we provide to our clients. We're able to invest in technology and product developments more heavily, which will ac- celerate development of cutting-edge parking -related technology to improve the cus- tomer experience and increase value for our clients. We also have the ability to oper- ate as a single source vendor to clients of both companies for a variety of services - whether in parking, transportation, travel demand management, maintenance or security. This means all of our clients can have a single point of contact across a variety of service lines, making it simpler and more efficient for them in terms of both supervision and reporting.
