Contributing to a safer, more accessible and sustainable environment

The PPA is a national campaign that aims to build public confidence in the parking sector.

The Positive Parking Agenda (PPA) was initiated by a group of local authorities, including Bristol, Essex, Gloucestershire, Liverpool, Oxfordshire, York and London Councils, supported and assisted by the British Parking Association.

Together, we have launched a national campaign to deliver the Positive Parking Agenda and build public confidence in the parking sector. The aim is to change perceptions, challenge misconceptions about the parking sector and local government's role and make the parking experience a better one for all concerned.

The Positive Parking Agenda will provide effective and positive communications, promoting innovation and the use of technology, for the benefit of all.
