SP Plus Corp., a provider of technology-driven mobility solutions for aviation, commercial, hospitality and institutional clients throughout North America, will provide parking management and operations, including touchless access and payment, at Laredo International Airport in Laredo, Texas.

The airport division at SP+ took over the airport's in-house parking operations this month for LRD's hourly/daily and economy lots, according to a press release.

The new equipment will be fully-automated with both cash and credit card options, offering parkers a touchless access and payment experience.

To further the touchless experience, intercoms are planned for each entrance, exit and payment kiosk to assist customers through a 24-hour remote management system connected to SP+'s command center, which employs customer service specialists.

"Adding state-of-the-art touchless technologies gives LRD parking customers a more efficient and safe way to start and end their trip," Jason Finch, senior vice president, West Airports at SP+, said in the press release.
