ABOUT MSTPA

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

WELCOME TO MID-SOUTH TRANSPORTATION & PARKING ASSOCIATION.

Our association was established to unite parking and transportation professionals

across Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and surrounding areas

through collaboration and the exchange of ideas and solutions that strengthen our

industry.

We are proud to continue gathering in cities throughout the Mid-South region for

educational opportunities, networking, and professional development. Through our

annual conferences and events, members have the opportunity to connect with peers,

vendors, and industry leaders while exploring innovative strategies and best practices

that help advance our organizations and our profession as a whole.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support and

involvement in the Mid-South Transportation & Parking Association. We look forward to

connecting with you and continuing to grow and strengthen our profession together

throughout the Mid-South region.

Best Regards,

Arishna Lastinger

MSTPA President

The MSTPA’s mission is to provide professional growth, development, and interaction among persons involved in the operation of transportation and parking programs within the Mid-South region.  

This association of transportation and parking professionals is organized to identify issues, share information, identify and evaluate solutions to improve parking programs, and stay updated on legislative changes that impact transportation and parking operations. 

The Mid-South Transportation & Parking Association was initially formed as a non-profit organization in February 1999.

The association consists of parking and transportation professionals from universities, municipalities, airports, private operators, and vendors in the Mid-South region.
