What is the best parking management software for campuses and schools?

ParkStash is a leading campus parking management software, offering digital permits for students, faculty, and staff, QR code visitor reservations, access control, LPR enforcement, citations, and analytics from one platform.

How does QR code parking work for campus visitors?

Visitors scan a QR code to reserve or pay for parking and register their license plate in seconds — ideal for events, campus tours, and game days. Students and staff use the same system for permits.

How do students and faculty register their vehicles?

Students, faculty, and staff self-register their vehicles through ParkStash's digital permit system from their phones. Administrators allocate permits by group with access control and manage everything from a dashboard.

Does ParkStash offer LPR enforcement for campus parking?

Yes. ParkStash uses mobile and fixed LPR to scan plates against registered permits, sending real-time alerts for unauthorized vehicles. Citations and towing are managed digitally within the platform.

How much does campus parking management software cost?

ParkStash plans start at $199/mo, with a revenue-share pricing option that has no monthly fee. Pricing scales with campus size and features such as access control, LPR, citations, and analytics.
