Digital Parking Tech

Indianapolis, IN — T2 Systems, a Verra Mobility (NASDAQ: VRRM) company, announced the 20-year anniversary of its flagship T2 Flex® cloud-based parking permit management and enforcement solution. Since its launch, T2 Flex has helped modernize parking operations for hundreds of universities, municipalities, and private operators. T2 Systems provides the most comprehensive suite of parking and mobility solutions in North America, serving over 2,000 parking organizations. T2 technology manages millions of parking spaces and processes millions of transactions across hundreds of universities, municipalities, and private operators in North America. T2 Flex was one of the first digital browser-based solutions to solve the problem of fragmented, outdated parking systems that cause inefficiencies, silos, and poor customer experiences. Today, T2 Flex is a cloud-based tool that addresses the needs of large universities and cities that struggle to manage complex, high-volume operations spread across multiple systems with its centralized, enterprise-grade T2 UNIFI® Platform for seamless digital payments, virtual permitting, enforcement, and analytics. The T2 Flex platform enables organizations of all sizes to streamline operations, reduce IT burden, and deliver a better experience for customers and administrators. “Two decades ago, T2 Systems launched Flex to lead a technology shift in parking — delivering the first cloud-based, hosted, comprehensive parking system,” said Zack Harmeyer, Senior Vice President of Product at T2 Systems. “Today, Flex is the most advanced parking management platform available, supporting everything from permit sales to license plate recognition (LPR), mobile enforcement, along with Parking Access and Revenue Control System (PARCS) and real-time data analytics across college campuses, hospitals, airports, and cities throughout North America. This milestone is a testament to our customers and partners who helped guide its evolution and shape the modern parking experience.” The flagship Flex platform continues to evolve with software innovations for residential permitting from T2 Reside™, mobile citation payments with Scan & Pay™, and event or interim parking with T2 Tempo™. The company is advancing the solution with T2 FlexForward™, a scalable, fully cloud-hosted solution with enhanced integrations, streamlined user experiences, and deeper connectivity across the T2 UNIFI® Network, which is already being used by more than 60% of Flex customers to enhance parking operations. With its sleek, intuitive interface designed for today’s users, FlexForward provides a faster, cleaner, and easier system to navigate for complex operations or daily tasks. “T2’s collaborative approach to developing FlexForward ensured that customer feedback directly shaped the product. The result is a platform with meaningful enhancements, from the powerful global search to a more intuitive design that streamlines workflows and improves efficiency,” said Andrew Woloszczuk, Permit Specialist and Adjudications Lead, at Duke University. As the industry’s longest-standing and most widely adopted parking management enforcement solution, Flex powers mission-critical parking operations for more than 100,000 users across more than 400 installations in North America. “T2 has been our go-to parking strategy for nearly 25 years, and we’ve been using the Flex platform for the past 18 years,” said Josh Cantor, Director of Parking & Transportation at George Mason University. “From being the first customer of T2’s Parking Access and Revenue Control System (PARCS), to the integration of collections, pay stations, and license plate recognition, T2 has given us the ability to keep expanding our parking solutions under a single platform.” To celebrate the anniversary, T2 is launching the #Flex20 campaign featuring customer spotlights, historical insights, and product roadmap previews at its annual T2 Connect event, the parking industry’s largest and longest-running customer user conference.

Boston, MA – The Boston Transportation Department (BTD), including the Office of the Parking Clerk, is upgrading its digital parking infrastructure with Passport, the most trusted technology partner for innovative curb management solutions. The initiative replaces Boston’s decades-old parking system with a unified, digital platform designed to streamline operations, enhance compliance, and improve service delivery for residents, businesses, and visitors. “As part of our commitment to modernizing city services and improving the day-to-day experience, this move makes parking in Boston simpler, fairer, and more efficient,” said Jascha Franklin-Hodge, Chief of Streets for the City of Boston. “From day one, Passport has worked hand-in-hand with us, learning the nuances of our operations and configuring its platform to support a data conversion of over 30 million records and facilitating the sharing of information across departments. Together, we’ve replaced a 40-year-old system of siloed tools with a flexible foundation that will let Boston embrace whatever the future of mobility brings, while giving residents a more transparent, accessible experience today.” “Our ability to deliver the best experience to our constituents relies on the hardworking teams in the city and technology systems that are reliable and secure,” said Santiago Garces, Chief Information Officer for the City of Boston. “Passport was an incredible partner in making the transition to our new system go smoothly. And, by insourcing the management of phones, network, and equipment, our DoIT team was able to save 42% of the annual costs that were previously outsourced to the previous vendor." Just 72 hours after replacing the city’s former vendor, Passport’s end-to-end platform processed more than $750,000 in payments. Since the launch, Passport has processed over $17 million in curbside payments. BTD teams have embraced the technology with speed, hitting 111% of the previous system’s digital activity and completing over 13,000 constituent-serving actions by day three, from appeals and residential permit approvals to citation payments and hearing scheduling. This rapid rollout and immediate impact highlight Passport’s ability to help Boston move faster, serve better, and deliver a seamless experience city-wide. As part of this system-wide upgrade, the highly used ParkBoston app has returned to its original provider, Passport. The app has been upgraded as a key part of the city’s broader digital parking system transformation. Passport’s integrated solutions bring together parking enforcement, permitting, mobile payments, and data management into a single platform, helping one of the largest American cities: Simplify permitting and ticket appeals with a user-friendly, mobile-accessible system Increase transparency around parking rules, notices, and fees Support better compliance and reduce administrative burden across city departments “Boston joins a growing list of cities rethinking how curb space is managed,” said Khristian Gutierrez, co-founder and CEO of Passport. “This collaboration exemplifies what Passport's platform was built for: partnering with forward‑thinking cities to simplify the complex work of managing the curb, with a solution that evolves alongside them. BTD leadership has a tremendous vision for its curbs, and we’re honored to stand by their side during this digital transformation. With our open, API-first platform as Boston’s new foundation, we’re excited for this journey together, helping the city stay ahead of mobility innovation and deliver a seamless, transparent experience for its community.” “In order to deliver such an ambitious and transformative project, the City of Boston engaged Accenture’s public service practice to provide services that included project management, training support, business process improvement, and change management. Tim Rogers, Managing Director in Accenture’s Public Service practice, said: "We’re proud to collaborate with the City of Boston to drive this significant transformation of its parking infrastructure. By leveraging digital technologies, we're helping to create a more efficient, user-friendly parking system that simplifies enforcement, permitting, and payment processing, ultimately enhancing the overall experience for residents, businesses, and visitors."

Its platform touches one in five Americans through tools like digital permits, mobile parking payments, and citation management.

Accepting payments, both digital and traditional, in ungated parking environments is commonplace in all parking markets. Traditional notions of payment acceptance become more complicated in new, ungated environments due to the still-evolving regulatory and legal environments. Most reputable ungated service firms will indeed indemnify and protect their operators and landlords from many (not all) of these challenges, but that doesn’t mean the landlord doesn’t have affirmative duties in the ecosystem to uphold. The webinar, article, and white paper, “Ungated Environments: Best Practices for Parking Payment Providers,” aim to unpack the still-developing, complex, and detailed expectations that form the foundation of the modern parking environment. Improper signage (content and style), misalignment between digital and traditional payment methods, lack of consistent policies and processes, misleading consumer journeys, and more are just some of the concerns that this webinar/article/whitepaper seeks to educate on. As authors, we are pleased to share our knowledge and experience with the parking, transportation, and mobility community, much of which was gained through extensive observation of trial and error while operating downstream of all parking operators, landlords, payment providers, and other relevant stakeholders conducting business in a parking facility.

Technology has redefined how to improve operational efficiency—especially in the parking industry. Today’s operators are leveraging innovative parking solutions like reservation systems, smart sensors, and dynamic pricing to drive growth and streamline operations. A parking reservation system is one of the most effective ways to increase operational efficiency. These platforms allow drivers to reserve spots in advance, reducing search time, traffic congestion, and emissions. Paired with a parking management system, they offer real-time data, enhance space utilization, and improve the overall customer experience. Modern parking lot management software goes even further by providing powerful data analytics. Operators can now measure operational efficiency by tracking occupancy patterns, peak hours, and customer behavior. These insights help optimize operations and support strategic decisions—like implementing dynamic pricing for maximum profitability and leveraging customer data to develop marketing strategies. Digital payments are another game-changer. A parking management app simplifies transactions with contactless and mobile options, reducing staffing needs while increasing convenience and parking lot efficiency. Layout matters, too. The most efficient parking lot layout is one that integrates guidance systems, sensors, and LPR technology to streamline traffic flow and improve the parking efficiency formula. Finally, visibility is key. Once you’ve upgraded with parking management software and an online parking reservation system, use digital marketing to attract users. Listing your location on Google Maps and using SEO can drive traffic and boost bookings. If you're aiming for the most efficient parking lot and looking to grow your business, now is the time to embrace technology. From a parking reservation system to dynamic pricing and data analytics, each step you take builds long-term operational success. David Sparks is the Chief Marketing Officer for Space Genius.

Denver, CO – PRRS, the leading provider of parking compliance solutions, announced the introduction of Autostart, a groundbreaking AI-powered parking management technology designed to transform the way drivers access and pay for parking. Powered by Paralign’s ARCFlex software and leveraging advanced AI vision, Autostart offers an open network, precise payment activation for gateless, free-flow parking facilities, capturing and verifying license plate data the instant a vehicle enters and exits a facility and automatically charging drivers for the exact amount of time that the parking session lasted via your preferred payment platform. Unlike other payment networks serving the parking industry, this is an open network, which allows parking owners and operators to choose their preferred payment provider for collecting parking fees. “Autostart is a game changer when it comes to parking,” said John Conway, Co-Founder and Chief Business Development Officer for PRRS. “Ticketless parking enables a more efficient, cost-effective, and driver-friendly experience, but it has always been challenging to manage payments fairly and accurately. Autostart solves that problem and makes free-flow parking work for any parking facility.” Autostart provides unmatched convenience and accuracy, including: Instant Vehicle Recognition: The system’s AI vision technology automatically detects and verifies license             plate data upon entry and egress with 99.88% accuracy. Effortless Payment: If the driver is pre-registered with the facility’s preferred payment provider, the system  automatically processes the payment—eliminating the need for tickets, cash, or manual check-ins. Flexible Options for All Parkers: Drivers who aren’t registered with the facility’s preferred payment app can still easily register with that app and pay manually. Real-Time Notifications: For registered users, the facility’s payment provider’s app of choice instantly notifies them when a parking session begins. Precision Billing: Upon exit, Autostart reads the license plate again and activates the payment precisely for the duration of their stay via the facility’s preferred payment app. ARCFlex is already integrated with more than 45 parking payment providers and PRRS is migrating payment providers to Autostart, making it one of the most interoperable and user-friendly parking solutions available. “Until the introduction of Autostart, drivers parking in ticketless parking lots and garages had to pre-pay for a set amount of parking,” said Conway. “The problem is that people don’t always know how long they will park. Meetings run long or people just lose track of time. When that happens parking owners have had to treat overstays as an enforcement issue, sending notices for noncompliance fees. Drivers hate receiving notices for $50 or more. Autostart minimizes this unpleasant pain point.” The launch of Autostart underscores PRRS’ commitment to improving the compliance of facility and simplifying the payment process in free-flow parking facilities and reducing the need to issue notices of noncompliance. More information about Autostart can be found here. PRRS’ main focus is making customer journeys and experiences in parking better while improving compliance with facility rules. With Autostart and the facility’s preferred payment provider, parkers have less hassle to perfectly choose parking times, payment providers have more successful payments, and landowners have improved compliant use of their facility. It’s a win-win-win for all parties!
