Toledo Ticket Technologies Promotes Tara Cline to Vice President of Operations

September 30, 2024

Toledo, OHIO—In May 2024, Toledo Ticket Technologies announced the promotion of Tara Cline to the Vice President of Operations position. Her promotion comes after seventeen years of excellent service to Toledo Ticket.

“It’s been incredible to develop personally and professionally for close to two decades, and to watch the company do the same,” Cline said. “I am extremely honored to take on the role of Vice President of Operations and look forward to continuing to positively impact the company and the industry.”

Cline holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Public Administration, and History from the University of Toledo. Shortly after graduating, Cline worked as an intern under congresswoman Mary Kaptur, where her responsibilities ranged from answering phones, writing letters to constituents, data entry, and more. This experience laid the foundation for her initial role at Toledo Ticket Technologies.

Cline joined Toledo Ticket in 2007 as an administrative assistant, where her primary duties included answering the phones, data entry, and reviewing proofs for incoming orders. Additionally, Cline was closely involved in the process of quoting and billing customers.

In 2018, she was promoted to Customer Service Manager. Her value was quickly demonstrated, and she soon began managing the house accounts for Toledo Ticket before adding the national accounts to her responsibilities. Now, she boasts the title of Vice President of Operations, where she completes contracts for Toledo Ticket’s national accounts, manages the office, and oversees plant operations.

“Tara is a gift to Toledo Ticket Technologies,” said Thomas Carter, Chief Executive Officer. “When we go to tradeshows, and people see her, they light up. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the industry and even more personable—people love working with her. It was an easy decision to select her as our Vice President of Operations.”

Outside of work, Cline is married to her high school sweetheart, Cory. The two have a two-year-old son and a toy poodle named Emma. In their spare time, they enjoy going to concerts and taking beach vacations.

Frogparking and the City of Laguna Beach Advance Partnership with Innovative Solar Signage

September 19, 2024

New solar-powered sign improves parking management, reduces congestion, and supports sustainability goals.

Laguna Beach, CA, September 18, 2024 – Frogparking, a leading innovator in parking technology solutions, proudly announces the latest advancement in its partnership with the City of Laguna Beach: the installation of a cutting-edge, solar-powered parking availability sign outside Lot 16 on Laguna Canyon Road. This initiative represents a significant step forward in sustainable urban planning and visitor experience enhancement.

Strategically positioned on the main road, this innovative solar sign delivers real-time information on total parking count availability, open/closes status and includes designated ADA (disabled) spaces. By providing this crucial information upfront, the initiative encourages more visitors to park at Lot 16 and use public transportation, helping reduce congestion and enhance the downtown experience.

The decision to utilize solar power was driven by both practical and environmental considerations. Given the remote location of Lot 16, the cost of running power to the sign would have been significant. Solar energy offered the perfect solution, aligning with the City of Laguna Beach’s commitment to sustainability while being cost-effective. The flexibility of solar-powered signs means they can be placed virtually anywhere, eliminating the need for extensive electrical infrastructure.

“This solar-powered signage is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and improving the driver experience at Laguna Beach,” said Shareena Sandbrook, CEO at Frogparking. “We are excited to see the positive impact this technology will have on reducing congestion and promoting the use of public transportation.”

This project is part of the City’s broader Parking and Transportation Demand Management Plan, which outlines strategies to make parking more convenient for both residents and visitors. By encouraging the use of Lot 16 and public transportation, the City is advancing its long-term environmental goals while providing a seamless, cost-effective solution for managing parking demand.
