Carlisle, PA To Update Its Parking System with User-Friendly Solution in 2024

 

New mobile payment options offer faster convenience than ever before.

 

 

Carlisle, Pennsylvania — The Borough of Carlisle, Pennsylvania has announced an exciting upgrade to its parking system in partnership with Butts Ticket Systems and Flowbird Group, the leader in curbside management and urban mobility solutions. The Borough is replacing its aging single-space parking meters with 56 Flowbird Pay-by-Plate Smart Parking Kiosks, fully equipped with the industry’s latest technology. Additionally, the Borough will now be offering three modernized digital payment options, the Flowbird mobile payment app, Pay-by-Text and Extend-by-Text!

The new parking system will feature 56 solar-powered parking kiosks with a 9.7” full color touch display that is accessible for all customers, including meeting ADA standards. The touch screen display has the look and feel of a tablet, walking users step-by-step through the transaction process. To begin, the user simply enters their license plate number and desired length of stay. Payment will now be accepted with either coins or debit/credit card. Once payment has been made, the parking session has started and there is no need to walk back to their vehicle to display a receipt on the dashboard.

Drivers who are making a quick stop to the downtown area have the option to use the ’15 minutes free parking’ option at the kiosks after inputting their license plate number.

A new and exciting feature of the updated pay stations is Extend-by-Text. Once users finish their transaction on the kiosk, they will have the option to input their mobile phone number. When their parking session is about to expire, they will receive a text with the option to add more time remotely without needing to walk back to the pay station.

The Borough is also excited to announce the release of two other digital parking solutions, the Flowbird Mobile Payment App and Pay-by-Text!

The Flowbird App allows patrons to pay for parking from their mobile devices, receive text notifications when time is about to expire, and extend their time without having to visit a parking kiosk. Designed as a true mobility app, the Flowbird App features a map-based user interface, integrated with Waze and other navigation systems to guide users to their preferred parking location.

The app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Pay-by-Text is an easy-to-use web-based solution that allows drivers to pay for their parking session directly from their phone without creating an account or downloading an app.

Here’s how it works: Once the user is parked, they can find a number posted on the side of the kiosk or nearby sign near their parking location. The user simply texts the number provided, immediately receiving a secure link to follow to input their parking details. They enter their license plate number, parking duration and payment information. A confirmation is sent, and their parking session begins. Information is sent to parking enforcement who can verify the vehicle is in compliance. That’s it! There is no need to create an account, download an app, or visit a kiosk.

Paid parking hours throughout the Borough of Carlisle are Monday through Friday, 8AM to 4PM.

By implementing modernized parking solutions with convenient payment options, the Borough will be able to better manage parking turnover and visitor influx during peak periods and provide a more user-friendly experience. The addition of digital payment options will bring a consistent and higher level of customer service to the parking public.

Project management and installation is being managed by Flowbird’s local distribution partner, Butts Ticket Systems, based out of Pennsylvania.

THE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE OF PARKING: PHOENIX PARKING SOLUTIONS HELPS CLIENTS PREPARE FOR TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES

THE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE OF PARKING: PHOENIX PARKING SOLUTIONS HELPS CLIENTS PREPARE FOR TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Atlanta-Based Parking Management Company Advises Property Owners on EV Infrastructure, Providing Peace of Mind Plus Turnkey Solutions

ATLANTA (Jan. 24, 2024)—The electrification of transportation offers energy efficiency, pollution reduction and performance benefits; however, it also presents new challenges for parking operators and developers. Fortunately, Phoenix Parking Solutions president Jeff Patterson continues his commitment to innovation in the parking industry by offering comprehensive consulting services and infrastructure solutions for electric vehicle (EV) parking and charging so clients can adapt their facilities most cost-effectively.
Phoenix Parking Solutions, an Atlanta-based parking management company known for utilizing state-of-the-art technology, now provides customized solutions for retailers, residential buildings, mixed-use facilities, event venues, hotels and restaurants that are considering upgrading their operations to include EV charging stations.
“This is new technology, and most property owners don’t know where to start. However, EV infrastructure is something everyone should look into from an investment standpoint,” says Patterson. “We are here to guide clients through the process from meeting regulatory requirements to capacity planning and installation to evaluating the return on their investment.”
Phoenix’s solutions start with the company’s strategic partnership with Pyramid Network Services, a trusted nationwide infrastructure services company that simplifies the EV charging installation process and helps guide businesses through the transition from diagnosis and engineering design all the way through to maintenance. Thanks to this partnership, Phoenix’s clients have access to a multitude of charging station companies, plus a national database that tracks different tax and utility incentives. Most importantly, Pyramid provides long-term service and training that ensures EV chargers are up and running (currently 30 percent of EV chargers are down at any given time).
The share of electric cars in total sales has more than tripled in the past three years, and the size of the global EV market is expected to reach $906.7 billion by 2028. However, many owners simply need help understanding the benefits of offering EV charging stations for their customers and their business. These benefits include increased customer satisfaction, improved brand image that is environmentally conscious and forward-thinking, increased foot traffic and the addition of a new revenue stream.
“Electric vehicles are here to stay, so our goal is to give clients peace of mind knowing we can tailor our services to their specific needs and ensure their EV charging stations are not only installed and maintained properly but also are contributing to their bottom line,” says Patterson. “As the number of EVs on the road continues to grow, businesses that offer charging stations will be better positioned to attract and retain customers for longer periods.”
Phoenix Parking Solutions’ comprehensive solutions include but are not limited to:
  • Identifying goals and tailoring charging station plans to specific needs
  • Identifying potential power supply limitations
  • Executing permits
  • Assisting with loan applications and identifying rebates to help subsidize expenses
  • Ensuring the EV upgrades meet new government standards
  • Capacity planning to accommodate the growing number of electric vehicles
  • Selecting vendors and ensuring installation and accessibility meet regulatory requirements
  • Installing charging stations and training team members
  • Evaluating the return on investment for EV upgrades
  • Helping clients get ahead of the curve by future-proofing operations
The “value engineering” that Phoenix and Pyramid can offer to property owners who are ready to take advantage of the EV evolution helps determine the best location and power systems for the EV charging stations to minimize upfront costs while also identifying future monetization opportunities.
“It’s not just about the return on investment of the chargers outside, it’s about the additional money that retailers can make inside their businesses,” says Patterson. “We encourage our clients to consider the potential that EV chargers have to draw in more customers who will inevitably spend more time and money there while waiting for their cars to charge.”
About Phoenix Parking Solutions
Phoenix Parking Solutions is a nationwide parking management, consulting and EV charging solutions operator based out of Atlanta. The company specializes in a range of parking services for restaurants, hotels, country clubs, shopping centers, and community events, in addition to parking management, logistics, and consulting services. Phoenix president Jeff Patterson, an active member of the National Parking Association (NPA) and one of less than 500 Certified Parking Professionals in the country, has been named to NPA’s 40 Under 40 – Class of 2021 that recognizes the positive impact of the best and brightest young professionals in the parking industry.

Colorado School of Mines Elevates Parking Experience with TKH Security’s State-of-the-Art Automated Parking Guidance System

Colorado School of Mines Elevates Parking Experience with TKH Security’s State-of-the-Art Automated Parking Guidance System

 

 

Cheshire, CT  – TKH Security (formerly Park Assist), a leading technology provider in camera-based Automated Parking Guidance Systems (APGS), is pleased to announce the prestigious Colorado School of Mines has chosen our cutting-edge parking solutions to enhance the overall parking experience on their campus in C+PKll garage with 871 parking spaces.

At the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado School of Mines (Mines) is located in Golden, Colorado. Recently celebrating its Fall 2023 Undergraduate Commencement, Mines is a public research university focused on applied science and engineering. Mines once again ranked among the nation’s top universities in U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 edition of Best Colleges, ranking #36 in Top Public Schools nationwide and first in Colorado.

“As we see available land shrinking on college campuses across North America, the need for parking guidance to maximize overall availability is becoming essential,” said Jeff Sparrow, Director of Sales, North America. “Our technology not only maximizes parking efficiency but also offers enhanced security features, creating a safer environment. To the benefit of students, faculty, and staff, campus security will be able to better monitor each parking space.”

The camera-based M5 smart-sensor is the core of our automated parking guidance system (APGS). With two CMOS digital cameras on either side, the M5 smart-sensors are installed above the driving lane to monitor up to six parking spaces each, up to three on each side. Exhibiting a 99%+ accuracy rate, the M5 has a full spectrum RGB (LED) indicator that can be configured to display thousands of colors to indicate occupancy and parking space type. Most commonly, green indicates available, blue indicates handicapped, purple indicates EV, while red indicates occupied. Reducing time to park by up to 63%, the system not only facilities a smoother traffic flow inside the parking garage but it also reduces congestion in the surrounding areas.

Their automated parking guidance system (APGS) package also includes:

  • Camera-based C5 Smart Counting Solution to be placed at key points to accurately detect and count bidirectional traffic, sending the data to both VMS signs and INX,
  • With maximum messaging flexibility, VMS signage will treat parkers with to up to the moment guidance at key decision points, guiding them to available parking quickly,
  • Park Alerts will send proactive notifications for the arrival of important or banned persons, if someone overstays their limited-time space, or if someone parks in a restricted space,
  • Park Surveillance will deliver comprehensive monitoring of each parking space, in and between spaces, by capturing HD streaming video when motion is detected or continuously, allowing security to be on the lookout for suspicious activity in a more efficient way than ever before,
  • And the INX integration will provide Mines with real-time and historical, actionable data including: occupancy, dwell time, turnover, heatmaps, frequency, trends, comparative analytics, environmental conditions, and more.

“Mines selected us based on our leadership in camera-based APGS and our extensive experience in successful parking guidance installations. With installation beginning in Q1 2024, I look forward to working closely with Mines on this project,” said Sparrow.

POGOH BIKESHARE REACHES HISTORICAL RIDERSHIP RECORDS IN 2023

STATION EXPANSION, E-ASSIST BIKES, UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH PARTNERSHIP CONTRIBUTE TO MAJOR GROWTH

PITTSBURGH, PA — Bike Share Pittsburgh (POGOH) is celebrating a year of record high ridership in 2023 withover 200,000 trips since January 1. This year’s ridership numbers squash the previous record set in 2021 of 124,211 rides, which was also the peak of the former Healthy Ride system’s network of 115 stations. POGOHexpanded by 22 stations in June of 2023, and currently operates 60 stations and 600 bikes across the City of Pittsburgh. More than half of its bike fleet are electric-assist bikes.

 

“Part of what I love about Pittsburgh’s unique charm is in its steep slopes, terraced business districts, andchallenging hills,” said David White, executive director at POGOH. “After introducing electric-assist bicycles last year, it’s been a thrill to see so many Pittsburgh residents, students, and visitors bounce from neighborhood to neighborhood taking on the hilliest short bike trips on our POGOH e-bikes. By strengthening our partnerships with Highmark and Allegheny Health Network, Duquesne Light, and the City of Pittsburgh, we’veinstalled 20 electric charging stations throughout the city. Watching new riders jump on a POGOH, confident that a fully charged e-assist bike awaits them at the next station, reinforces our conviction in a moresustainable, less congested, and fun, mobility future.”

 

Furthermore, the University of Pittsburgh community is riding at unprecedented rates. A partnership between the University of Pittsburgh and POGOH makes all trips under 30 minutes free for all students, staff, and faculty. The partnership launched in 2019 and has grown year over year. In 2023, Pitt riders contributed to more than 110,000 rides.

 

The University of Pittsburgh partnership is significantly changing the ridership patterns of the POGOH network. The frequency that the University of Pittsburgh community is riding has revealed new top ridership stations in Oakland, Southside, and Shadyside. Previously, top stations were often located Downtown, NorthShore, and South Side Works.

 

Top 2023 POGOH stations:

  1. S Bouquet Ave & Sennott St
  2. Boulevard of the Allies & Parkview Ave
  3. Forbes Ave & Schenley Dr
  4. O’Hara St & University Place
  5. N Dithridge St & Centre Ave

  7. S 27th St & Sidney St
  8. Atwood St & Bates St
  9. Schenley Dr & Schenley Dr Ext
  10. Ivy St & Walnut St

“Pitt’s students, faculty, and staff have really embraced bike ridership within the Oakland, Southside, andShadyside areas, which is a testament to our commitment to a cleaner, healthier future,” said Jonathan Pearson, director of Parking and Transportation at the University of Pittsburgh. “With our record ridership this year, we are proud to provide accessible and

eco-friendly transportation options that contribute to a more sustainable urban environment.” For a deeper look at POGOH’s ridership data, visit: https://pogoh.com/data/

Škoda partners with Parkopedia to introduce convenient in-car payments with new Pay to Fuel service

November 27, 2023

Škoda partners with Parkopedia to introduce convenient in-car payments with new Pay to Fuel service

 

 

 

 

  • Pay to Fuel allows drivers to pay for fuel via the car’s infotainment system, skipping the queue at the cashier
  • The service is now available in six European countries, with more scheduled to go live in the future

 

 

 

November 2023 – Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic / London, UK

 

Škoda is expanding its digital services to include Pay to Fuel in collaboration with our partner organisation Parkopedia, who Škoda also works with for the existing Pay to Park service. The new Pay to Fuel service makes paying after refuelling quicker and more convenient for Škoda drivers, with motorists able to save time by paying directly through the car’s infotainment system. This service is now available in six European countries, (a current listis available here), with plans to include more countries and fuel stations in the future.

 

The stations supporting Pay to Fuel are listed in the in-car navigation. After choosing one of these, the vehicle automatically recognises the fuel station upon arrival. The driver opens the app on the vehicle’s display, confirms the petrol station and enters the pump number. After refuelling, the amount of fuel is confirmed on the infotainment screen and the payment is processed via debit or credit card. All common cards are accepted. The driver then receives a transaction notification in the MyŠkoda app and on the vehicle screen and can pull away.

 

Available for all Škoda ICE vehicles with Amundsen or Columbus infotainment systems

In addition to an up-to-date Amundsen or Columbus infotainment system with a touchscreen of

9.2 inches or larger, the service requires an active Škoda Connect account with the Remote Access feature enabled. Using the MyŠkoda smartphone app, users enter and verify their payment card once. Pay to Fuel is available for all Škoda ICE model series sold in European markets. The service is provided in collaboration with Parkopedia, Mastercard and the German FinTech company ryd.

 

Different countries, different networks, one app

Pay to Fuel is currently available in Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Portugal and Spain will follow soon. There are also plans to launch the service in the Czech market.

 

Commenting on the new service, Markus Dohl, VP of Sales & Business Development Europe at Parkopedia, said: “We are pleased to expand our services with Škoda Auto and continue to deliver industry-leading in-car payments for their drivers. Drivers benefit from a seamless and secure payment process across all available services, accessed directly through the vehicle’s infotainment system, without having to leave the vehicle, use third-partymobile apps or re-enter payment details for each transaction. Pay to Fuel simplifies the process of fuelpayments, making it just as convenient as our existing Pay to Park service which has been well received by Škoda customers since launch.

TKH Security: Horseshoe St Louis to revolutionize the parking experience for guests with a state-of-the-art Automated Parking Guidance System

November 15, 2023

TKH Security: Horseshoe St Louis to revolutionize the parking experience for guests with a state-of-the-art Automated Parking Guidance System

 

 

Cheshire, CT  – TKH Security (formerly Park Assist) is thrilled to announce its recent collaboration with Horseshoe St Louis in St Louis, Missouri. The core of the partnership is the installation of a state-of-the-art Automated Parking Guidance System (APGS), ushering in a new era of parking efficiency and convenience for Horseshoe St Louis and its patrons.

Horseshoe St Louis is a premier casino and entertainment destination in St. Louis, Missouri. With the installation of TKH Security’s APGS, the casino aims to elevate the experience of guests and employees alike in its 867-space, four story parking garage.

TKH Security’s APGS optimizes parking facility management and enhances the parker’s experience from initial garage entry to an open space. Monitoring up to six parking spaces simultaneously, the M5 camera-based smart sensor is the core of the APGS. Sensors utilize streaming HD video 24/7 to provide operators with real-time occupancy data for each parking bay. With 99%+ accuracy, M5 sensors ensure precise and up-to-date information about space availability. Green and red LED lights on the sensors navigate parkers to the available spaces, reducing the time to park by up to 63%.

“We’re pleased to be selected by Horseshoe St Louis in their quest to elevate customer satisfaction through innovative parking solutions. This partnership showcases our dedication to transforming the parking experience for casinos and entertainment venues,” said Jeff Sparrow, Director of Sales, North America. “We anticipate installation completion in early 2024.”

Their APGS package also includes:

  • LCD Signage: Large LCD displays provide clear, user-friendly information, ensuring a seamless parking experience for all users.
  • Park Alerts: Real-time alerts notify operators when certain vehicles enter the building, including special guests and persons who are banned, if someone parks in a restricted space, or if someone overstays their limited-time space.
  • Park Surveillance: By capturing streaming video when motion is detected or continuously, operators can be on the lookout for suspicious activity in a more efficient way than ever before. Plus, since recordings can be saved up to 90 days, security can easily work with authorities when needed.
  • API Package: The API package allows Horseshoe St Louis to both integrate the system seamlessly with their existing infrastructure and connect securely to a limitless set of third-party parking related solutions, creating a customized and robust solution.
  • INX Integration: INX provides Horseshoe St Louis with powerful data analytics and reporting tools, enabling them to make data-driven decisions for ongoing improvements to their parking operations. Real-time and historical actionable data includes: occupancy, dwell, turnover, heatmaps, frequency, trends, comparative analysis, and environmental conditions.

TKH Security is proud to partner with Schaeffer Electric Co on this project.
