ParkHub and JustPark Agree to Merge Alongside Strategic Growth Investment from FTV Capital and LLR Partners

Leading US parking solutions provider, ParkHub, and one of the UK’s leading app-based parking platforms, JustPark, agree to merge.
Together, ParkHub and JustPark currently serve more than 20 million drivers and over 500 B2B customers, representing $1 billion+ in booking volume.
Combination of leading parking technology and payments providers creates robust end-to-end platform to serve entire parking ecosystem in North America and the United Kingdom.
This growth acquisition is backed by FTV Capital and existing investor, LLR Partners.

DALLAS and LONDON – March 21, 2024 – ParkHub, a leading North American provider of parking management software and payments solutions, today announced an agreement to combine businesses with JustPark, one of the UK’s leading app-based parking reservations technology and payments platforms. The combination creates a full-service parking software and payments solution for customers across North America and the United Kingdom. As part of this transaction, ParkHub secured a strategic growth investment led by FTV Capital with participation from existing investor LLR Partners.

“After 18 years at the forefront of transforming parking experiences for millions, our merger with ParkHub catapults JustPark to new heights,” said Anthony Eskinazi, founder and CEO of JustPark. “Our dedication to improving the parking experience for drivers continues, and with our cutting-edge technology and unrivalled support, we’re set to revolutionize parking for our customers and partners both here in the UK, and now also in North America.”

ParkHub provides a complete parking technology ecosystem to optimize revenue-driven parking operations, including facilitating payments and delivering real-time business insights for parking operators and venue management companies across North America, serving some of the largest sports and entertainment venues, universities, municipalities and commercial asset holders. JustPark will continue to leverage its technology to facilitate an online marketplace in the UK by matching drivers with available parking spaces and monetizing unused parking capacity. Together, ParkHub and JustPark currently serve more than 20 million drivers and more than 500 B2B customers, representing $1 billion+ in booking volume. JustPark’s Eskinazi will continue to lead the UK business.

“We are excited to invest in JustPark’s vision to provide the world’s best parking experiences and look forward to leveraging the combined company’s capabilities for our marquee customers across North America and the UK,” said Jeff Shanahan, CEO at ParkHub. “Having successfully worked with FTV in the past, I’m confident that their track record and extensive expertise within the vertical software and payments space make them the ultimate value-add partner to complement LLR as we chart this next phase of growth.”

The accelerating transition from cash to digital payments and growing adoption of prepaid parking has precipitated a need for an end-to-end platform that helps high-velocity parking facilities more efficiently manage their parking operations. Adding to this momentum, primary ticketing vendors are increasingly relying on partnerships with prepaid parking providers for on- and off-venue parking to help improve ingress and effectively manage parking reservations. With this acquisition, we believe that ParkHub is well positioned to capitalize on these industry tailwinds by leveraging JustPark’s parking reservations and mobile payments capabilities.

“Both ParkHub and JustPark stand out as category-leading vertical SaaS and payments platforms in their respective markets, and we’re excited to help these two complementary, yet distinct, offerings come together and accelerate growth in the expansive parking software and payments market,” said Kyle Griswold, partner at FTV Capital. “We’re also thrilled for the opportunity to once again partner with both Jeff and LLR. Jeff has been a leader at several successful FTV portfolio companies and has extensive experience growing and scaling vertical software and payments companies.”

“We are thrilled to announce our combination with JustPark, and to partner with Anthony and the entire JustPark team. Together, we will continue to provide our customers and partners with industry leading parking software and payment solutions,” said Ryan Goldenberg, partner at LLR Partners. “In addition, we welcome FTV Capital to ParkHub’s board of directors and look forward to a successful strategic partnership.”

As part of this growth investment, Kyle Griswold and Adam Hallquist, principal at FTV Capital, joined ParkHub’s board of directors.

PayByCar Launches Off-Street Parking Pilot in Four States across the United States

PayByCar Launches Off-Street Parking Pilot in Four States across the United States

Company seeking next financing round to continue expansion

Boston, MA. – PayByCar, Inc., the mobile payments company responsible for providing pay-by-text payments for in-vehicle fueling payments, along with the help of “Driven by E-ZPass™”, continues expansion into the off-street parking industry where the technology will be tested in at least four states in the United States throughout 2024.

“PayByCar enables millions of drivers with an E-ZPass transponder to effortlessly park and pay without the need for cumbersome cash transactions, scanning QR codes, inserting tickets, or paying with phone apps, which not only optimizes convenience and efficiency but also addresses the increasing demand for more efficient contactless payment solutions,” said Anand Raman, President and Chief Operating Officer of PayByCar.

The company is currently testing its payments management platform for drivers in several major markets in the Eastern United States rolling out pilot projects at commercial parking locations and transportation centers. The company is looking to reshape the parking experience for garage owners, operators, and customers with continued investor partnerships.

Following PayByCar’s innovative implementation of mobile payments technology responsible for providing pay-by-text payments at gas stations across Massachusetts, the company has made waves in the fintech and fueling industry following successful partnerships with organizations like the 19-state E-ZPass Group, Alltown Mobil, and others.

“The upcoming financing round will support PayByCar’s rapid expansion throughout the East Coast this next 12 months to hundreds of additional fueling stations and parking facilities, and to accelerate our growth in consumer membership to upwards of a million people,” Raman said.

By simplifying the on-arrival ticketing & subsequent payment experience, PayByCar can dramatically improve traffic flow during peak times, improving customer satisfaction by eliminating logjams that often occur when multiple vehicles leave a parking garage simultaneously. Over time PayByCar expects the impact on through-put in event parking to be every bit as dramatic as electronic tolling has been in eliminating long toll lines on highways.

With the trend towards frictionless, contactless payments, the company’s payment orchestration platform has the potential to simplify the overall parking experience for drivers while increasing authorizations and minimizing lost revenue for parking operators.

PayByCar is currently available for use in select gas stations throughout Massachusetts where it has proven its technology streamlines the overall gas purchase experience. The technology offers users a secure and convenient pay-by-text mobile payment method for gas purchases.

Elite Parking Solutions Kicks Off 2024 with Franchise Launch

The company is seeking to partner with like-minded entrepreneurs across the United States to start a professional valet franchise in their area.

FARMINGTON HILLS, MICHIGAN — Elite Parking Solutions, a cutting-edge valet and traffic management company taking customer service to the next level, has just announced its nationwide franchise opportunity.

The company is led by Richard Abbo, Justine Abbo, and Cal Abbo, a father-daughter-son group. Richard Abbo founded the brand in 1988.

“The world of valet is becoming increasingly corporate and impersonal. We have noticed over the past years, as this process took shape, that customers are losing the valuable service that once made valet an honorable industry in favor of cutting costs,” Cal Abbo commented with regard to the company’s decision to franchise. “In addition, valet attendants and supervisors deserve the opportunity to take ownership in this industry. Our team has decades of experience and is well-designed to build small-to-medium-sized valet companies anywhere in the country.”

The company is hoping to give young entrepreneurs a simple-to-operate business that offers low-start up costs and unlimited growth potential. Franchise partners who are awarded the opportunity will work with a diverse client base that includes hospitality hotspots like country clubs, hotels, shopping malls, hospitals, and more. In addition, they will tap into the lucrative field of traffic and parking management, with the ability to earn and execute large contracts, as well as the niche of private events, which is Elite’s specialty.

Elite Parking Solutions begins its estimated investment costs below $50K. All ongoing support, marketing guidance, operational procedures, and training is included with the franchise.

“Elite offers a low-cost alternative to most other franchise opportunities and a way for workers in the industry to tap into decades of successes and failures without having to spend so many years trying it on their own,” stated Cal Abbo. “Also, it’s a flexible way to earn a good income for you or your family while escaping the 9-5 corporate world. Within our system, you can be your own boss, and your success depends on your work ethic and dedication.”

Currently based out of Michigan, Elite Parking Solutions wants to continue expanding in its home state and the Midwest where the leadership team can provide ample support. The team added, however, that Elite Parking is open to finding partners in any territory throughout the U.S.

88% of U.S Drivers Avoid Paying for Parking, New ParkMobile Study Reveals

February 27, 2024

88% of U.S Drivers Avoid Paying for Parking, New Study Reveals

According to a survey conducted by the most used parking app in the U.S., ParkMobile, 75% of drivers have been deterred from going out because of bad parking despite 85% of spaces sitting empty

ATLANTA, Feb. 27, 2024 — ParkMobile, the most used parking app in the U.S. and part of the EasyPark Group, conducted a survey to understand the parking experiences of U.S. drivers. The study highlights the frustration that drivers experience because of poor parking infrastructure, with 88% of drivers seeking to avoid paying for parking. With search times taking around 10 minutes on average, the difficulty of finding and paying for parking deters 75% of drivers from traveling or attending social experiences.

Study respondents also highlighted removing uncertainty from the parking journey would be a positive draw for consumers. Among drivers that avoid paying for parking, 67% would be willing to pay if a parking space was able to be reserved in advance. When asked about coordinating these reservations, 84% of respondents who have used more than one mobile parking app in the past year would prefer one app to handle all their parking needs, including reserving mass transit and event parking. ParkMobile’s offerings have already catered to this consumer demand by providing parking reservation for street parking, garages, and stadium events.

“American cities are filled with both overtaxed city-center parking in high demand and sprawling underused garages and surface lots that are often constructed without information about the parking experiences of modern consumers,” said Chris Camp, Chief Commercial Officer of EasyPark Group. “These choices negatively impact traffic, the environment and urban vibrancy, and should be considered as part of a holistic approach to building sustainable city cores. At ParkMobile, we are dedicated to making cities more livable and we feel data insights are one way to make more informed consumer decisions and better planned infrastructure.”

Inconsistent rules and parking payment systems increase difficulty for drivers and disincentivize engaging with parking infrastructure. While 88% of respondents state they rarely pay for parking, sentiment towards paid parking changes if additional context can be provided. If paid parking ensured improved transportation, including improved bike lanes, 70% of respondents would be willing to pay. Additionally, the survey highlights that almost half of respondents (46%) are unaware that free parking is funded through local resident taxes and 64% of respondents would be more willing to pay for parking if it meant lower taxes.

“ParkMobile, as a part of EasyPark Group, has seen the need to advance parking infrastructure through technology and insights. As part of this advancement there is the opportunity to educate drivers and municipalities about the realities of their existing parking ecosystems and what is possible for the future. Implementing models of open market parking and offering Parking Data as a Service provides streamlined engagement with parking technology and is a step toward improving cities’ relationships with parking,” said Camp.

Since being founded in 2008, ParkMobile has processed over 120 billion minutes of parking in North America. ParkMobile works with cities to provide real-time parking data and trends to better plan their urban design. This includes some of the two million parking spaces across the country, in over 600 cities and municipalities and 140 colleges and universities.

The study was conducted by ParkMobile with over 2,000 respondents located across the U.S. Respondents included drivers of various ages that drive at least two days per week on average to represent those most aware of their parking experiences.

Umojo Expands Commitment to Drive Better Urban Mobility with Award of Sourcewell Curb Management Contract

Umojo Expands Commitment to Drive Better Urban Mobility with Award of Sourcewell Curb Management Contract

Cooperative Municipal procurement leader awards Umojo with Preferred Contract Supplier Status for Municipal Curb Management Technologies

Chicago, IL – February 7, 2024 – Umojo announced today that it is delighted to have been chosen as a contract supplier of Curb Management Technology and Services by Sourcewell, a leader in cooperative purchasing facilitation for public entities across North America.

Sourcewell, A self-sustaining government organization, has over 40 years of dedicated service helping government and education entities operate more efficiently through a variety of solutions, including cooperative RFP facilitation and vetting 3^rd party vendors for ease of procurement and faster contracting.

In 2023, The U.S. Department of Transportation opened a grant application program for Municipalities to drive Smart City initiatives. Cities were encouraged to submit innovative program proposals with the purpose of improving safety, efficiency, and quality of life in urban corridors. Of those cities selected to receive grant funding for their program proposals, the majority chose Sourcewell to facilitate the vendor selection and cooperative RFP process on their behalf, thereby creating a simpler, more efficient procurement process for each city.

Sourcewell evaluated vendor proposals as they relate to the scope of services set forth by the organization and participating cities. With an award from Sourcewell and becoming a Sourcewell Awarded Supplier, each participating city can choose solutions from Umojo without having to issue a formal RFP process themselves. Umojo is pleased to be one of the few selected vendors to become a Sourcewell Awarded Supplier, achieving the highest overall ranking amongst all vendor submissions.

Rick Neubauer, Umojo CEO, Stated, “We are honored and excited to be selected by Sourcewell to be a preferred vendor to the Grant Cities for this Curb Management Program. We strongly believe that a city can’t truly become a “Smart City” unless it addresses its curb inventory. As cities strive to meet the evolving needs of their constituents, the curb is quickly becoming its most critical real estate. Multiple entities compete for its space daily, with rideshares, delivery vehicles, public parking, and public transportation among them. We are excited to partner with grant recipient cities to help solve these problems and improve the lives of citizens and businesses, while promoting a safer, more equitable curb inventory.”
