Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of our management, our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. Unless otherwise noted, all references to years are to our fiscal year, which ends on October 31.    
Government Services
As of October 31, 2016, the assets and liabilities of our Government Services business were classified as held-for-sale. On May 31, 2017, we sold our Government Services business for $35.5 million. In connection with the sale, during the third quarter of 2017, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $1.1 million, subject to final working capital adjustments. The reported results for this business are through the date of sale. Future results could include run-off costs associated with this former business. Based on the terms of the agreement to sell this business, we reclassified certain of the prior year balances from held-for-sale to held-and-used.
Prior Year Reclassifications
Effective November 1, 2016, we reorganized our reportable segments to reflect how we now manage our business by industry group. We have revised our prior period segment information to reflect this reorganization and a related reclassification of certain Corporate expenses. See Note 14, “Segment Information,” for further information. Concurrent with the reorganization, we recategorized certain expenses that were historically included in operating expenses to selling, general and administrative expenses. To conform to the new categorization, we reclassified operating expenses of $5.2 million and $15.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2016, respectively, to selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, certain amounts in the statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Rounding
We round amounts in the Financial Statements to millions and calculate all percentages and per-share data from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot, or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.
Management Reimbursement Revenue by Segment
We operate certain parking facilities under managed location arrangements. Under these arrangements, we manage the parking facility for a management fee and pass through the revenue and expenses associated with the facility to the owner. These revenues and expenses are reported in equal amounts as costs reimbursed from our managed locations:
