City of Tacoma Introduces Touchless Parking Payment With Flowbird

 

 

New Mobile Payment App to Elevate Downtown Mobility and Parking Experience

 

 

Drivers in Tacoma will now have the option for a ‘touchless experience’ when paying for their parking downtown. The launch of a new mobile parking application, Flowbird App, will bring ultimate convenience to motorists, allowing users to safely pay for parking with their iPhone or Android devices.

“Through the use of this new payment option, our customers can enjoy the convenience of paying for parking on their mobile devices,” said City of Tacoma Parking Services Manager, Eric Huseby, “Not only does the use of the Flowbird App provide a more convenient way to pay for parking, it also does so without the need to interact with and touch a pay station. It was an easy decision to deploy this technology during a period where touchless pay transactions provide more confidence to our customers.”

The Flowbird app, with over 2.5 million users worldwide, offers an easy, fast and secure option to make mobile parking payments in just seconds. Once the app is downloaded, users simply open their app, select their vehicle, select their parking location from the GPS enabled map, and choose the amount of time they wish to park. A notification will be sent to the user when the parking session is about to expire with an option to extend right from their phone. Payment methods can be securely stored for quick and easy parking transactions in the future.

The multi-function app also offers advancements in technology such as a “Find My Car” feature that provides walking directions back to the user’s vehicle. No more searching for your car! The app can also bookmark a user’s favorite parking locations, remembering them for their next trip.

The Flowbird mobile phone app can be downloaded from the App Store onto an iPhone or from the Google Play Store onto an Android device. Users register their license plates and credit card with Flowbird through the app or through www.flowbirdapp.com.

The Flowbird app is available for use in over 80 parking locations across the United States and Canada.

Park Assist® Introduces its New
Cloud-Based Software Platform: INX™

 

 

CHESHIRE, CT – July 8th, 2020 – Park Assist announces the introduction of its latest software innovation, INX. Over the last several years, Park Assist has experienced extensive growth. To meet the demands of this expansion and customers’ evolving needs, Park Assist began to reexamine its software, eager to create a user interface that could properly support and enhance its parking guidance technology. INX was built to maximize the performance of each guidance system, and advance the way it is used, designed, deployed, and maintained. Emanating from the core concepts that comprised Park Assist’s previous software, INX is a more refined and robust platform, increasing communication between Park Assist’s hardware and operating system, enhancing functionality, and changing the way users interact with their parking guidance systems.

 

Officially launched on July 1st, INX is a cloud-based user interface providing Management, Operators, and Marketing teams with real-time data using dashboards, historical reports, and comparative analyses to seamlessly improve the parking journey, maximize operational efficiencies and drive new revenue opportunities. This technology platform – focused on real-time data, IoT device management, ecosystem integration, and data security – encompasses business intelligence modules, service and support access, and optional applications for enhanced features and greater control.

In announcing the launch of INX, Scott Dubois, Vice President of Product Management at Park Assist said, “We are extremely excited about INX, not just because of the improved user experience and functionality that it delivers today, but what INX as a platform enables us to bring to market in the near future”.

INX’s intuitive design provides easily digestible data and analytics while empowering users to have complete control of their parking guidance system and their garage. Integrating with Park Assist’s PGS, INX enables constant communication between the system, operators, and parkers, providing an exceptional customer experience, but also an exceptional depth of information about how the garage is functioning, what adjustments need to be made to improve the bottom line, and how customers are engaging with the facility.

Gary Neff, CEO of Park Assist added, “We are very pleased to provide our existing clients a new user experience with this groundbreaking technology platform and its array of advanced features. The platform is based on our 15 years of Parking Guidance experiences and customer feedback and will be the new standard for the industry”.

Westward Industries Study Highlights Increased Efficiency and Revenues through Parking Specific Vehicles

Westward Industries Study Highlights Increased Efficiency and Revenues through Parking Specific Vehicles

 

 

As communities across the country begin to reopen following the COVID-19 shutdowns, parking departments will once again begin to enforce on-street parking. As always, it will be essential to provide parking enforcement officers with safe, efficient, and private workspaces.

 

 

Westward Industries recently conducted an efficiency study to identify opportunities to improve the efficiency of parking enforcement operations, while creating a safe alternative for parking staff to perform their daily operations.

 

Westward’s study addressed the productivity gains achieved by parking departments using a parking-specific vehicle instead of walking or driving standard vehicles. The study found that parking-specific vehicles significantly increase PEO citation rates over walking. The narrow profile of parking specific vehicles allows the officer to park the vehicle along the street between the on-street parking and the road without impeding traffic. This is an improvement over standard vehicles that often need to be parked, and require the officer to take the time to walk to the vehicle to write a citation. Further, parking-specific vehicles allow PEOs to enforce significantly more territory, resulting in increased citations and revenues over walking and standard vehicles. The study highlights a 42% improvement in time efficiency compared to conventional vehicles, and 100% improvement over walking.

 

Now more than ever, parking organizations will be looking for opportunities to create more efficient parking operations, while generating revenues. Increasing the speed in which parking enforcement officers can cover their territories results in significant increases in citations, as well as increased revenues.

About Westward Industries

Westward has a strong history of designing and manufacturing task-specific vehicles for use across cities, colleges and universities, healthcare campuses, corporate parking facilities, and more. Their GO-4 series of parking enforcement vehicles adapt to many environments, offering a cost-effective and functional solution to parking management department needs through license plate recognition and digital chalking, while offering flexibility and efficiency not offered with standard vehicles.

As one of the largest manufacturers of task-specific on road vehicles in North America, Westward is leading the industry with smart enforcement vehicle technology that will propel parking enforcement solutions into the future.

Patriot Parking Pivots to Cash-Free, Touch-Free Business Using Honk’s Technology

 

 

Boston-based parking operator goes completely contactless with Honk’s tap-to-pay and mobile app

 

 

BOSTON, MA, July 7, 2020 – Honk, North America’s leading provider of safe, contactless payments for parking, is equipping Patriot Parking, a Boston-based parking operator with payment technology to pivot from labor and cash-based commerce to cash-free and touch-free. Thanks to Honk’s touch-free payment technology suite and easy setup, Patriot was able to quickly adapt their parking operations to ensure a safe and secure parking experience for both parking staff and customers in record time. Drivers now have two ways to safely pay for parking: 1) Download the free HonkMobile app from the AppStore or Google Play, or 2) Tap their phone on tap-to-pay smart stations for a quick guest checkout experience – no app download required.

 

Using Honk’s contactless payment technology, Patriot Parking was able to quickly pivot their parking operation when the pandemic hit in a matter of 3 weeks. Patriot Parking went from being a labor and cash-based operation to a cashless and contactless operation.

 

HonkTAP smart stations are now set up and installed at all Patriot Parking locations in the Metro Boston area as a safe and clean way for drivers to pay for parking. With no paystation or cash to touch, drivers simply – and safely – tap or scan their smartphone on a HonkTAP smart station to pay for their parking session. HonkAPP is a second onsite payment option – available for download from the AppStore or Google Play. Customers can pay for parking and manage their session directly from their phone.

 

“Pivoting to a cash-free, touch-free business in the middle of a pandemic was so important for us as a company, and we couldn’t have done it without Honk’s technology and know-how,” said Eric Lane, Operations Manager at Patriot Parking. “The transition was easy, fast and efficient. And best of all – the HonkTAP smart stations were absolutely no cost to us thanks to their zero cost initiative.”

 

“Back in March, everything changed in the blink of an eye – pivoting from a labor-based operation to a cash-free, touch-free model became paramount for so many. Going forward, the ability to handle transactions safely is and will continue to be extremely important,” said Michael Back, Honk President and CEO. “Our technology and expertise in contactless payments enabled Patriot Parking to be a forerunner in making the change.”

 

Drivers in Boston are encouraged to search for Patriot Parking locations by accessing www.honkmobile.com to find the absolute safest locations to park in Beantown!

transportation industry for both the public and private sectors for nearly 20 years, having held positions as the Commissioner of the Chicago and Washington D.C. Departments of
Transportation and as a Vice President at Zipcar, before co-founding Cityfi.

Automotus , a mobility-focused video analytics company, uses video analytics to help
automatically analyze, monetize, and enforce all forms of curb activity. Gabe’s experience in spearheading mobility innovation in city governments is a natural fit with the company’s mission of creating more accessible and equitable urban mobility.

This included launching two of the first and largest bikeshare systems in the U.S. and building protected bike lanes and better pedestrian infrastructure for vulnerable citizens citywide, as well as facilitating private services like carshare and rideshare to reach each city’s mobility goals. Gabe advises governments and companies worldwide on innovation in cities including Singapore where Gabe has been a visiting fellow for the Centre For Livable Cities, working on creating a “car-lite” city-state. In 2015, Gabe also published Start-Up City with David Vega-Barachowitz on Island Press, a manifesto on revamping how (and how fast) we innovate in cities and rethinking public-private partnerships with a triple-bottom-line approach as technology shapes a dramatically different future.
