System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to controlling a parking facility. In one embodiment, a method of controlling a parking facility control system is disclosed. In one approach, the method includes receiving a parking request for a vehicle. The parking request includes an identifier and a pickup time. The method includes selecting an initial parking space at the parking facility for the vehicle based, at least in part, on the identifier and the pickup time. The method includes transmitting a parking command to the vehicle. The parking command identifies the initial parking space and causes the vehicle to autonomously navigate to and park in the initial parking space.
