Parkmo, a class project started by Reed Schimmel and a team of WSU students, aims to make parking easier. It is a smartphone app that shows how full parking lots are and recommends the best parking lot for a student's schedule. It also provides automated parking enforcement. This is done by tracking the parking activity of every lot. Since its conception in Fall 2015, Parkmo has been awarded the Koch Innovation Challenge, placed third in last year's Shocker New Venture Competition and will begin its first on campus test this April in the Morrison Hall parking lot.
