DIXON Resources Unlimited to Lead Parking Transformation in St. Pete Beach

Sun, Sand, and Seamless Parking? It’s Closer Than You Think. Imagine strolling down Corey Avenue, grabbing a coffee at a local café, and easily finding a parking space—no stress, no circling the block. Thanks to DIXON Resources Unlimited (DIXON), that vision is one step closer to reality! We are excited to announce that DIXON has been awarded the contract to develop a Comprehensive Parking Management Study for the City of St. Pete Beach, Florida.

Our team is ready to bring our expertise to this vibrant coastal community, where parking plays a critical role in supporting local businesses, ensuring access for residents, and accommodating the thousands of visitors who flock to the area year-round.

Why St. Pete Beach Chose DIXON

St. Pete Beach is no stranger to the challenges faced by thriving coastal communities—balancing the needs of residents, tourists, and businesses requires a thoughtful and strategic approach. That’s where DIXON excels.

Our reputation for success is built on years of experience managing parking systems in similar communities, including Maui (HI), Oceanside (CA), Monterey (CA), and Seal Beach (CA). These projects, combined with our data-driven methodologies and deep understanding of mobility in high-demand areas, made us the perfect fit for St. Pete Beach.

DIXON’s ability to collaborate closely with stakeholders and deliver tailored solutions that reflect the unique needs of each community has earned us industry recognition, including being named the 2023 Organization of the Year by the International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI).

Our Approach: Engaging, Observing, and Analyzing

St. Pete Beach has entrusted DIXON with conducting a comprehensive analysis of its current parking environment. Through a combination of stakeholder engagement, data collection, and operational assessments, we’ll develop a clear understanding of how parking functions in the City today.

Here’s how we’ll make it happen:

Community Engagement: We’ll engage with residents, business owners, and local leaders to gather valuable insights about current parking conditions, challenges, and community priorities.

Operational Analysis: Our team will observe and assess parking operations to identify opportunities for optimization and enhanced management.

Data-Driven Insights: We’ll conduct an extensive evaluation of parking data to ensure our final report accurately reflects usage patterns and informs future decision-making.

What This Study Means for St. Pete Beach

For a dynamic city like St. Pete Beach, where tourism and local life coexist, an effective parking management strategy can make a world of difference. The Comprehensive Parking Management Study will provide a holistic view of the current parking landscape and lay the foundation for future improvements.

This study is an important step toward ensuring that St. Pete Beach remains a welcoming, accessible, and enjoyable destination for residents and visitors alike. It’s about understanding the present to create a better future.

Why We’re Excited About This Project

DIXON’s passion lies in transforming parking programs into success stories. We’ve worked with communities across the country, helping them optimize parking operations, embrace technology, and enhance the overall experience for everyone who visits, lives, and works there.

We’re proud to bring that same passion to St. Pete Beach. Our goal is to work closely with the City and its stakeholders to develop a comprehensive understanding of the parking environment, allowing the City to make informed, strategic decisions that benefit the entire community.

Stay Tuned!

As we move forward with this exciting project, DIXON will continue to share insights and updates. We’re eager to work alongside the St. Pete Beach community to ensure that its parking system is prepared for the future—because when parking works, everyone wins.
