Outline: 
Interactive workshop with the members of the EPA Digitalisation & Data Working Group (D&D WG) to discuss practical cases related to the EU legal obligations for public and private parking operators to gradually share their data on the National Access Points (NAPs). The recent EPA recommendations and guidance published as part of the Parking Data Essentials will be presented, with several operators showing how they are using these in their compliance efforts. Discussions will also focus on the leading industry standard APDS and its basic training program which has been developed by the Alliance for Parking Data Standards. As a very recent example of APDS being applied in practice, current developments around the UK’s National Parking Platform (NPP) initiative will also be shared with the workshop attendees.
