Larry Cohen, CAPP talks about his decision to self-publish, the process of writing his follow-up book, and his ambitions of turning his parking adventures into a comedy TV show. Isaiah is a veteran when it comes to parking podcasts.

Surprisingly, about 84% of parkers still pay without the presence of gates, often resulting in higher revenue collection compared to gated facilities.Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:Revolutionizing Parking with Tech: We dove deep into the world of automated parking enforcement and how it's changing the game. Imagine a world without the hassle of gates, where license plate recognition technology does all the work.
