Line 1:	Line 1:
		Parking is a very important role at Firefly because if we can’t deal with all the vehicles, there’s no way we can have an event. Parking is a big core, with over 130 volunteers (only Rangers have more).

		Leading this core is a big responsibility, so there HAVE TO be multiple leads.

		It's a lot of work before and after the event, but if you do it right (and are lucky) it's not much during the event so you can relax.

		== Parking Lead Responsibilities ==

		* Plan Parking
		** Figure out parking areas (including special parking for box trucks, art, medical, portos, ice, dpw, etc)
		** Figure out traffic flow in coordination with landowners and other stakeholders
		** Inventory gear and replace anything broken or missing
		* Set up Parking
		** Stake out lots
		** put up signage
		** put out tenex (turf protection mesh)
		** put up trash fence
		** make sure areas are mown and weed whacked
		** Stake out special parking areas
		* Prevent clusterfucks
		** Make sure early arrival vehicles are parked effectively
		** Develop emergency plans (especially for rain/mud)
		** Coordinate with DPW, Arrivals, GTFO, Gate, Art, Bus, Accessibility, Medical, Ice, and other cores
		** ensure gear and procedures in place to deal with stuck and disabled vehicles
		* Coordinate Volunteers
		** Determine shifts
		** Communicate with volunteers ahead of event
		** create and distribute volunteer instruction binders
		** ensure that volunteers are at shifts
		** respond to volunteer needs by radio and in person
		** fill gaps in volunteers (with gnomes)
		* Clean up after Exodus
		** dismantle stakes, signs
		** remove trash fence
		** clean and organize materials
		** ensure parking stations are packed away

		== Who makes a good Parking Lead? ==

		=== Location ===
		Remote is fine before event, but you have to be onsite before and after (and during!) the event.

		=== Schedule ===
		February-May

		* planning parking and coordinating with other core leads
		* build volunteer schedule before tickets go on sale

		May-June

		* fill volunteer slots
		* create volunteer binders
		* inventory gear
		* source new gear

		Onsite:

		* at least one work weekend for inventory and prep
		* super secret weekend to set up (get volunteers for this too it's a ton of work)
		* early arrival
		* during event available by radio and often in person during the day
		* ensure volunteers have information, food, water, shade etc -- everything they need to succeed
		* exodus
		* post event

		=== Experience ===
		Firefly experience is required. Ability to read maps useful. Driving experience.

		=== Skills ===

		* Planning
		* Decisionmaking (the buck often stops here)
		* Forceful collaboration with other cores
		* Communication with other cores and volunteers
		* Quick thinking in times of confusion -- you have to be decisive under pressure
		* Good judgement / common sense
		* Flexibility while maintaining boundaries
		* Sense of humor / ability to not melt down
