New member organization opens to contractors, suppliers, property managers, and municipalities.
The Council will develop and publish technical standards for parking lot striping, administer a professional certification program, and maintain a public directory connecting certified contractors with the property owners and facility managers who need them.
The Parking Lot Striping Industry Council (PLSIC) is a standards-and-certification body for the parking lot marking and striping trade in the United States. Founded in 2026, PLSIC develops technical specifications for parking lot marking work and is establishing both the Certified Parking Lot Striper (CPLS) credential and a Preferred Vendor program that will connect qualified suppliers with the contractors who use their materials.
The Council serves every side of a trade that spans commercial, institutional, and municipal properties across the country: striping contractors, paint and thermoplastic manufacturers, equipment makers, property managers, and municipalities. PLSIC develops standards that address surface preparation, material selection, application methods, ADA compliance, and quality verification, describing what well-executed work requires and giving contractors, specifiers, and property owners a shared basis for evaluating it.
