CLEVERCITI DEPLOYS WORLD’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE ON-STREET PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF COLOGNE

Munich, Germany, February 18, 2020 — Cleverciti Systems, the leader in smart parking guidance and management solutions, today announced that it has been selected to enable RheinEnergie´s smart parking ambitions. The initiative, managed by energy provider RheinEnergie AG for the fourth largest city in Germany, is part of the SmartCity Cologne initiative that is designed to reduce emissions and increase innovation, digitalization, and mobility.

Cleverciti’s solution will provide turn-by-turn guidance to enable drivers to make intelligent decisions based on reliable live data indicating fully occupied on-street parking spaces in the inner city, as well as remaining available spaces. Cologne Nippes, one of the busiest and most densely populated urban districts of Cologne, has been selected for the installation of ClevercitiSensors and ClevercitiCirc360 guidance systems on Rheinenergie’s lampposts, covering 770 popular on-street parking spaces. The free or occupied status of every on-street parking space is monitored in real time. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered ClevercitiSensors provide precise parking availability data, which is displayed locally on ClevercitiCirc360 LED displays delivering live guidance to drivers. This guidance system eliminates unnecessary circling in search of a space and the associated wasted time and emissions. The ClevercitiCockpit enables leaders to manage their valuable parking assets based on precise supply and demand data.

“This sophisticated smart parking deployment is part of an effort to increase sustainable development to achieve greener environments in our smart city,” said Dr. Andreas Cerbe, RheinEnergie AG. “As an organization focused on minimizing environmental impact, we are committed to achieving reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, eliminating needless traffic, and increasing energy efficiency. To achieve these goals, we have worked closely with Cleverciti to design a smart parking solution that is proven to reduce emissions and ease traffic throughout the area. As a utility that owns and operates thousands of lampposts, we are ideally positioned to deploy additional services to benefit city residents through our existing infrastructure – transforming our lampposts into the smart city hubs of the future.”

The search for parking is a major problem for the environment, as well as a significant source of driver frustration and traffic congestion. According to Boston Consulting Group, 8 percent of Europe’s CO2 emissions come from urban traffic. Approximately 30 percent of that traffic is the result of parking search, which can be greatly reduced through adoption of Cleverciti’s smart parking solution. In Germany alone, deployment of smart parking solutions could reduce CO2 emissions by 900,000 tons annually according to Germany’s National Platform for the Future of Mobility.

“As part of SmartCity Cologne, this installation represents the most comprehensive on-street parking guidance and management system in the world and we are proud to be selected as the smart parking infrastructure that powers more efficient parking in the area,” said Thomas Hohenacker, CEO, Cleverciti. “The Cleverciti solution will be used to reduce parking search, overall distance traveled, and emissions while increasing quality of life for area residents.”“A key part of Cologne’s selection of Cleverciti was the patented ClevercitiCirc360 parking guidance technology, which guides drivers to the nearest parking spot at every critical decision point,” said Dr. Günther Picker, Cleverciti’s Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development. “Cleverciti offers the complete solution through its unique, AI-powered overhead parking sensors and dynamic guidance systems mounted on existing lampposts.”To support Cologne’s goals of reducing emissions from parking search traffic, the project has been funded in part by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure within the program of “Digitization of municipal transport systems”.

EXPERIENCE LAX’S AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER IN VIRTUAL REALITY

Six virtual reality models showcase the future of LAX on your smartphone

A view of the West Central Terminal Area Station (l); a view of the Intermodal Transportation
Facility – West Station (r).

(Los Angeles, CA) Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) today released virtual reality models of the future Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Automated People Mover (APM) project. Accessible via smartphones, these interactive models include views of and from within the system’s three Central Terminal Area (CTA) stations and two Intermodal Transportation Facility (ITF) stations.

“Although the Automated People Mover train is still a few years of heavy construction away from being operational, technology lets us experience the future of LAX today,” said Justin Erbacci, Interim Chief Executive Officer. “The virtual reality experience shows the vision of a fully-connected LAX that will help solidify our airport’s status as a Gold Standard, world-class facility.”

The models offer a glimpse into the integrated campus design of the APM system, which honors the heritage and history of the CTA and the iconic Theme Building with its mid-century modern design aesthetic. Featuring clean lines, airy and light-filled corridors, structural glass walls and high-performance coated metal panel cladding, the APM’s stations will create visual continuity throughout the LAX campus. The stations’ canopies cantilever and taper out 20 feet on each side of the roof, creating a floating appearance, and their smooth white metal finish improves the building’s heat island effect. Station platforms are lit via six 20-foot diameter circular skylights in the roof structure, which provide both filtered daylight and night time illumination from energy efficient LED fixtures emitting light from both above and below the canopy.

The new virtual reality models can be accessed by scanning a Quick Response (QR) Code with a smartphone, which will direct the viewer to one of six models of the stations. Viewers can also enhance the experience with the use of 3D glasses.

Click here to access printable QR Codes and scan to view select models of East CTA, Center CTA, West CTA, ITF-East and ITF-West stations.

The APM, a 2.25 mile elevated electric train system that will transport travelers in and out of the LAX CTA is the centerpiece of LAWA’s LAMP project. The APM will feature six stations: three stations inside the CTA, which connect to the terminals via elevated pedestrian walkways, and three stations outside the CTA, which will connect to new off-site parking facilities, regional light rail transportation and a Consolidated Rent-A-Car (ConRAC) Facility. Scheduled to open for passenger service in 2023, the APM is expected to relieve congestion within the CTA and in turn the surrounding thoroughfares, thereby reducing emissions and vehicle miles traveled.

NAPITA Submits Statement in Opposition to H.B. 2817

NAPITA Submits Statement in Opposition to H.B. 2817

Bill Under Consideration in Arizona House Distorts Free-Market by Eliminating Fees Exclusively on TNCs but not all Ground Transportation Providers at Sky Harbor

PHOENIX, AZ, February 17, 2020 – Today, the Arizona State House of Representatives will hold a hearing on H.B. 2817, a bill to amend current transportation network company (TNC) regulatory law to prohibit any airport in the state of Arizona from imposing airport fees on TNCs. The Near Airport Parking Industry Trade Association (NAPITA), an association of national parking operators dedicated to providing dependable and affordable travel options that improve the customer experience at major American airports, submitted the following statement to the Arizona State Legislature Committee on Regulatory Affairs in opposition to the legislation:

“If a commercial operator chooses to engage in activity on airport property, or at the airport curb in the case of ground transportation providers, they should be willing to pay their fair share of costs associated with the provision of that space in order to ensure that world class infrastructure, safety, and efficiency are all afforded to users. In other words, no one commercial ground transportation operator should get a free ride to the detriment of all other users.

“As part of the off-airport parking industry and the ground transportation community in Phoenix, our members actively participated in the rigorous and extensive benchmarking study with Sky Harbor over the past year and a half. We can honestly say that throughout the course of that benchmarking study and discussions thereafter, the airport staff and their consultants were trying in good faith to understand the best practices of other airports around the country and actively listened to concerns from the ground transportation community. Yes, we all would have appreciated if there had been more detailed discussions around the airport’s ground transportation costs and the specific allocations amongst the various types of ground transportation providers. However, the resulting fee structure was not, in our opinion, punitive or targeted, it merely took into consideration the extensive use of the airport infrastructure by certain types of providers. To weight the scale in favor of one type of ground transportation industry in the way that this proposed legislation does is anti-competitive, unfair, unreasonable and does nothing to encourage participation in the free market by those other industries and ground transportation providers who are willing to pay their fair share.

“If the underlying policy goal of this legislation is, as some Members have stated, to ensure that transportation options at Arizona’s airports are affordable and accessible, then HB 2817 doesn’t go nearly far enough. If that is truly the aim, then everyone should get a free ride at the airport – like private passenger vehicles currently do. That is a dangerous precedent for this state to head down. We don’t think that picking a winner from the free market is the intent or the goal of this legislature so we respectfully request that you seriously consider what the goal is. We oppose HB 2817 in its current form and hope you will too.”

Background:

Late last year, the Phoenix City Council approved the recommendations of the Phoenix Airport Advisory Board following the conclusion of a comprehensive, industry-inclusive, multi-year benchmarking study looking at ground transportation fees for access to Phoenix Sky Harbor. The rebased fees assessed on ground transportation operators to help offset the cost of ground transportation on airport infrastructure and are indexed to accurately reflect curb utilization at the airport. NAPITA supports the process and the results of the benchmarking study and believes it should be a model country-wide for a federal stakeholder working group. This group would provide the venue necessary to understand and address the issues facing the airport curb, leveraging the expertise of our membership, the federal government, and airport operators to craft transportation policy that best serves the traveling public.

NAPITA represents national and local near-airport parking operators and their 12,000+ employees from across the country. NAPITA’s mission is to partner with airports and other stakeholders in the aviation industry to ensure safe, efficient, and equitable access to their airport curb for off-airport parking operators and to increase the role ground transportation plays in the broader air travel industry and the overall experience for air travelers.

NAPITA will continue to advocate for the industry and the vital role it plays within the broader air travel industry.

The Parking Spot Relaunches the Spot Club Rewards Program

The simplified rewards program offers new benefits, better rewards, and elevated status levels

CHICAGO – The Parking Spot, the nation’s leader in airport parking with 38 locations at 23 major airports, announced today that it has revamped its travel rewards program, the Spot Club. With over one million members, the Spot Club allows travelers to earn free days of parking, discounts on car care services, and premium parking options.

To allow more travelers to take advantage of the program in 2020, the updates simplify the process for guests so they can engage more easily and earn more rewards. New benefits include requiring fewer points to achieve status, guaranteed spaces for Platinum members, and additional bonus points based on status level.

“By making these improvements, we are putting customer feedback into action and demonstrating our continued commitment to providing each guest the best possible experience,” said Jeff Foland, President and CEO of The Parking Spot. “The new Spot Club will not only offer a simplified experience to our loyal guests, but also an opportunity for new customers to get the most out of their travel experience.”

Keeping track of rewards and points will be easier than ever with a new member dashboard that displays status, points, and days earned. Once those points build up, consumers can take advantage of the new locked-in award rates, which take the guesswork out of how many points it takes to earn a free day of parking or other rewards.

To further simplify and enhance the program, the elite member levels have also been reduced from three tiers to two – Gold and Platinum. With the rollout of the updates, all members that had Silver status have been automatically elevated to Gold status for the 2020 program year.

LANCASTER, PA. (Feb. 12, 2020) – The Lancaster Parking Authority (LPA) today presented a $500 check to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, a result of donations collected in its 2019 Change for Lancaster Change program.

“This check represents the generosity of our customers who donated money in repurposed parking meters to help support the mission of the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank,” said Larry J. Cohen, executive director of the Lancaster Parking Authority. “It is the largest amount we’ve collected from donations to a local non-profit in the last six years of this program.”

Cohen presented the $500 check to Joe Arthur, executive director of the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.

The Change for Lancaster Change program gives the public the opportunity to support local non-profits by donating change in a repurposed parking meter located in the lobbies of LPA parking garages. Each collection meter includes a sign near it explaining the program and that all donations will be contributed to the charity. Currently, there are collection meters located in the elevator lobbies of the Prince Street and Penn Square garages.

Past recipients in the program include Milagro House, Lancaster County SPCA, Boys & Girls Club of Lancaster, the Lancaster Public Library, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Philadelphia and Susquehanna Valley.

“Our goal is to provide another avenue of help to our local non-profits,” said Cohen. “We hope that our parkers and others take advantage of this program and contribute their spare change to help support local charities.”

The 2020 recipient for the Change for Lancaster Change program is the Power Packs Project. It is a “non-profit 501(c)(3) that aims to improve the mental and physical health of children by helping their parents provide nutritious meals over weekends when school breakfast and lunch programs are unavailable to them.”

Toronto Pearson International Airport Launches Program Allowing Travelers to Reserve Space in a Traveler’s Lounge with Chauntry Parking Pre-Booking Platform

Toronto, ON (February 11, 2020)—Chauntry, the leading provider of parking reservations systems, announced today that it has partnered with Toronto Pearson International Airport to launch a ground-breaking lounge reservations program through its Parkspace platform. The airport offers six common use lounges for travellers to relax in privacy while they await their flights.

“This is all about providing a better customer experience for travellers,” said Philip Safos, Toronto Pearson’s Associate Director, Business Planning and Performance. “It’s stressful enough to fly, and the more the traveller can control, the better the experience will be. By offering flyers a chance to reserve both parking and a spot in the lounge before they even leave the house, we hope to give flyers a little more control over their travel experience and freedom from any anxiety, frustration and uncertainty.”

The airport’s six lounges are managed by Plaza Premium, an international leader in offering global airport hospitality solutions in airports across the world. In addition to booking lounge space through the airport’s parking reservations portal, travellers can also book through Plaza Premium directly.

“Toronto Pearson is a pioneer in using technology to provide the best travel experience possible,” said Theresa Hughes, Chief Executive Officer of Chauntry. “The airport’s leaders are always looking for new ways to make flying more enjoyable, and they have exciting plans for even more programs like this in the future.”
