The Parking Spot Announces New Electric Shuttle Pilot Program
Today, The Parking Spot, the nation's largest near-airport parking company, unveiled its first 100% electric shuttle, which will help serve Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) travelers going to and from the airport.
The new shuttle was developed in partnership with Global Transportation Solutions, Inc. The Parking Spot has plans to add additional electric shuttles to its fleet, further reducing the company's and travelers' carbon footprints.
While The Parking Spot's current shuttles at LAX run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and are already 20% more efficient than gasoline shuttles, each new electric shuttle will further reduce The Parking Spot's greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 45,000 pounds annually.
"We understand how important it is to keep people moving with sustainable travel options," said Jeff Foland, President and CEO of The Parking Spot. "We are excited by this important step in the process and are progressing down the path toward meaningful carbon footprint reduction."
The number of consumers purchasing electric vehicles is expected to triple by 2025, and The Parking Spot is committed to meeting its customers' evolving needs. Today, customers flying out of nearly half of The Parking Spot's markets can enjoy the use of EV charging options for their personal vehicles. The Parking Spot will be adding to these charging options, both by expanding current offerings in markets such as Austin, Charlotte, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City, and by introducing new offerings in all remaining markets.

Gant Travel Selects Aimendo’s Orchestrator, a Novel Free Text Omni-Channel Bot Platform
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - August 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Gant Travel, an awarding-winning TMC serving the North American corporate sector, announces the selection of Aimendo's Orchestrator for email parsing technology to identify critical information in email travel requests.
Email travel requests comprise a component of every corporate agency's offering. Because of their unstructured nature, email service requests remain one area where agencies must employ significant manual labor to address. This aspect drives additional cost and productivity limits that can hamper agency efficiency and customer experience. Using Aimendo's latest technology, Gant launched a pilot to parse email to streamline booking and service requests.
The pilot aimed to prove that Aimendo's system could identify critical information in email travel requests. "Over the past two months, we confirmed Aimendo's ability to identify, monitor, and extract customer intent and actionable booking and ticketing data on our tech stack; we're excited about the success and potential this brings to Gant Travel," says Patrick Linnihan, Gant's CEO and President. In the next phase of the pilot, Gant will connect the data extracted by Aimendo to machine-readable traveler profiles and corporate travel policies to produce travel reservations via Gant's tech stack.
"Our shared vision has always been to harness the power of artificial intelligence to create a "Bot Army" to turbocharge the work of a corporate travel agent. We look forward to building on this experience to drive Gant's team's productivity further and to power a new generation of customer experience on emailed travel requests." said Vic Pynn, Co-founder of Aimendo.
