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