Parkin Company has entered into a strategic partnership with Glydways Inc. to roll out integrated parking and transport solutions across selected locations in Dubai.
The collaboration is aimed at improving first and last mile connectivity, supporting the emirate’s wider smart city ambitions. By combining Parkin’s network of parking facilities with Glydways’ Flow Networks, the initiative seeks to create smoother, end-to-end travel experiences for users.
Under the agreement, a number of Parkin-operated sites will be redeveloped into multimodal mobility hubs. These locations will serve as access points for Glydways’ autonomous vehicles, known as Glydcars, which operate on dedicated guideways to provide non-stop, congestion-free journeys to specific destinations.
The integration is expected to reduce reliance on traditional transport transfers, while improving convenience and easing pressure on road networks. It also forms part of a broader push towards more sustainable urban mobility solutions in Dubai.
As part of the rollout, Parkin’s subsidiary, Parkin Mobility, will lead efforts to combine advanced parking infrastructure with the new transport system. The approach is intended to optimise space utilisation while maintaining efficient access to key destinations.
Digital integration will also play a central role. Glydways’ services—including route planning, real-time availability, journey times and booking—will be incorporated into Parkin’s mobile app and online platform. This will allow users to manage both parking and transport through a single interface, streamlining the overall journey.
Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, said the partnership reflects a shift towards more connected urban systems. “The future of mobility lies in integration and efficiency,” he said. “By linking parking infrastructure with autonomous transport, we are creating a more seamless and user-focused experience that supports Dubai’s vision for smarter mobility.”
Mark Seeger, CEO of Glydways, highlighted the importance of embedding new technologies within existing urban frameworks. “This collaboration demonstrates how autonomous transport can be integrated into a city’s infrastructure rather than added as a separate layer,” he said. “Together, we are transforming parking locations into gateways for on-demand mobility, enabling smoother and more efficient travel across the city.”
The initiative signals a move towards more integrated, technology-driven transport ecosystems, as Dubai continues to invest in innovative mobility solutions to support future growth.
