What does the environment have to do with parking?
Most hospitals and medical centers make it a goal to be conscious of the environment. And many have 
issues with patients and employees circling for parking spots and struggling to find them. But how are the two connected? And how can parking guidance help?
Are Parkers Really Wasting That Much Fuel?
When drivers circle looking for somewhere to park, they’re wasting more than just time. The emissions their vehicles give off are unnecessary- and not only waste fuel but pollute the environment and affect air quality too. But how much fuel is actually wasted just by looking for a spot? Surprisingly, quite a lot. The average driver spending 17 hours a year, and much more than that in some cities, looking for a spot. That translates into a whole lot of extra fuel in the air.
