“Safe Parking LA helped us initiate our own LBCC Safe Parking Program and I could not have asked for better partners. As experts in their field, they provided consistent and insightful consultation and ongoing professional development to inform our infrastructure, case management services and resources, and all best practices related to implementing successful safe parking for our students. All thanks to the great SPLA team!”
