Los Angeles DOT Wins National Parking Innovation Award for Programs Supported by Conduent Transportation

 

 

LADOT and Conduent recognized for parking initiatives benefiting low-income and economically disadvantaged motorists

 

For the third consecutive year, a Conduent-supported program received the prestigious award for innovative programs in parking management

 

 

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., September 29, 2020 — The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) has been named the 2020 Innovative Organization of the Year by the National Parking Association for its work with Conduent Transportation, a unit of business process services and solutions company Conduent Incorporated(Nasdaq: CNDT). The award honors best practices, innovation and leadership within the parking industry.

 

The association recognized LADOT for parking initiatives benefiting low-income and economically disadvantaged motorists, including those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. One example is the department’s Community Assistance Parking Program (CAPP), designed to assist individuals in Los Angeles by allowing them to pay-off parking citations in the form of community service. LADOT also makes available extended, flexible payment plans for residents who receive citations but have difficulty paying.

 

CAPP participants agree to perform community service hours or receive social services, such as job training or substance abuse counseling, and the program has been used for more than 3,600 citations. Meanwhile, there have been more than 9,000 participants in the extended payment plans, leading to a 90-percent payment rate compared to a 40-percent rate with a traditional 3-month plan.

 

“Together with our partner, Conduent, we are pleased to implement socially-oriented parking policies geared toward alleviating the financial strain for disadvantaged residents. The onset of the pandemic further highlights the importance of these programs,” said Ken Husting, Principal Transportation Engineer, Bureau of Parking Management at LADOT. “The City of Los Angeles is committed to the success of CAPP and the flexible payment plans, and we will continue to promote policies to build an equitable parking program that is responsive to the needs of our community.”

 

Conduent, which has been awarded contracts as a result of five LADOT competitive procurements over 35 years, also provides dynamic pricing solutions for the department’s LA Express Park™ on-street parking program. The award-winning program enables the department to manage curbside usage and improve space utilization while reducing congestion and carbon emissions.

 

“This award exemplifies our strong partnership with LADOT, providing a range of innovative solutions for residents,” said Holly Cooper, Vice President and General Manager, Public Safety & Curbside Management Solutions at Conduent Transportation. “These two programs have shown to be vitally important for motorists who need help or have fallen on hard times.”

 

Parking Awards in Other Cities

This is the third consecutive year a program supported by Conduent received theinnovation award. In 2019, the Division of Parking Services in Columbus, Ohio, was honored for its success in managing the supply and demand for parking in the popular Short North Arts District. In 2018, the District Department of Transportation’s ParkDC program received the award for its work with Conduent to improve on-street parking in Washington, D.C.

Conduent Transportation Teams with PayNearMe to Provide Arizona’s Unbanked Motorists a Cash Option to Pay Off Fines

June 09, 2020

 

 

 

Conduent Transportation Teams with PayNearMe to Provide Arizona’s Unbanked Motorists a Cash Option to Pay Off Fines

 

 

 

Easy and convenient way to pay off parking tickets and other fines using cash at stores like 7-Eleven and Family Dollar

 

 

Close-to-home option can help those with fines to save money on transportation costs while adhering to COVID-19 social distancing practices

 

 

 

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., June 9, 2020 — Conduent Transportation, a unit of Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a business process services and solutions company, today announced a collaboration with Arizona’s court system and PayNearMe to provide citizens an easy and convenient way to pay off parking tickets and other fines using cash at participating stores like 7-Eleven and Family Dollar. This close-to-home option can help ticket-holders save money on transportation costs while adhering to social distancing practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

 

The program, recently launched by the Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts, particularly aims to assist households in the state that need or want to pay with cash. This includes individuals who do not have a bank account. According to the Federal Reserve, close to one-quarter of the U.S. population is either unbanked or underbanked — meaning they have a bank account but prefer to use alternative payment methods such as money orders. A similar biennial F DIC study found that more than 24 percent of Arizonians are unbanked or underbanked.

 

“Arizona courts are committed to leveraging technology that provides remote access to court services, including convenient court payment options,” said Marcus Reinkensmeyer, Court Services Division Director, Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts. “The PayNearMe offsite cash payment program is an important next step, offering user-friendly, Fair Justice-based methods of payment. The promising start realized in this program suggests that offsite payments will be embraced by many of our court customers. It’s a viable alternative to traveling to the courthouse for onsite payments and an especially helpful option during the pandemic recovery.”

 

By using PayNearMe in Arizona, which is available statewide, parking tickets and other fines are quickly paid at stores typically close to home, eliminating a trip to a courthouse or other centralized cash payment location. Ticket-holders are given a barcode on court notices, which they then provide to the cashier at participating stores. The amount owed is paid with cash in full or in part. The court is then notified automatically, and the payment posts within 15 minutes of the transaction. If paid in part, the remaining balance can be paid off in the same way.

 

“In this challenging time, governments are looking now more than ever to offer their constituents safe and efficient means of making payments,” said Mark Brewer, President, Global Public Sector Solutions, Conduent. “These efforts must include the unbanked, who don’t have online payment options and must often make cash payments in person. Our collaboration in Arizona is a prime example of how we can help states and cities fill this need.”

 

Conduent Transportation is a leading provider of automated and analytics-based transportation solutions for government agencies. These solutions, spanning roadway charging and management, parking and curbside management, and advanced transit and public safety systems, enable streamlined and personalized services for citizens and travelers who use them.

RET Selects Conduent Transportation Fare Collection System for the City of Rotterdam 

 

 

 

Deployment of 1,700 smart-card validators will help improve public transport

 

 

 

LONDON — Conduent Transportation, a business unit of Conduent Incorporated (NYSE: CNDT), in partnership with IT services provider Sigmax, has been selected by RET N.V., one of the largest regional public transport companies in the Netherlands, to implement a new automated fare collection system in the city of Rotterdam.

The contract will see the deployment of 1,700 Conduent VPE 430 smart-card ticket validators, integrated with Sigmax’s software, on all RET trams and buses. These new validators will enable RET to expand its range of payment methods; in addition to the Dutch OV Chipkaart public transport payment card, customers will also be able to use contactless bank cards and smartphones with barcode or near-field communication (NFC).

“This next-generation fare collection technology will enhance our infrastructure, enabling us to offer our customers a better and more seamless experience right across the city of Rotterdam,” said Jolanda van Barneveld, manager, OV Chipkaart, RET.

No matter what form the ticket takes – paper, card or digital – the Conduent VPE 430 validator completes the validation in exactly the same way, using an innovative check-in/check-out experience.

“As customers become more and more connected, transport operators have the opportunity to enhance their fare collection offerings,” said Mick Slattery, CEO, Conduent Transportation. “The Conduent VPE 430 validator allows public transport operators, like RET, to offer their customers a range of the latest means of ticket validation.”

The new validator meets the level of robustness and reliability required for a mass transit environment with a highly resistant colour screen.

“Sigmax’s collaboration with Conduent means that we can offer RET’s customers a more user-friendly public transport experience,” said Leo van den Ende, CEO, Sigmax.

Installation of the new Conduent validators will begin in spring 2019.

Washington, D.C., Wins National Innovation Award by Using Conduent Transportation Technology to Improve Parking

November 05, 2018

 

 

Washington, D.C., Wins National Innovation Award by Using Conduent Transportation Technology to Improve Parking

 

 

 

 

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 5, 2018 — The District Department of Transportation’s ParkDC program has been named Innovative Organization of the Year by the National Parking Association for its work with Conduent Transportation, a business unit of digital interactions company Conduent Incorporated (NYSE: CNDT), to make parking in Washington, D.C., easier.

 

 

The award, announced late last month at the association’s Annual Convention & Expo in Las Vegas, recognizes innovation, excellence, best practices and client partnership.

 

“This is a well-deserved honor for ParkDC, which is helping to better manage parking in the city, benefiting citizens and visitors,” said Soumya Dey, associate director, Traffic Operations and Safety, District Department of Transportation (DDOT). “The program is a great example of how sustainable technology, using advanced analytics, can help alleviate congestion and make parking smoother for motorists.”

 

The program began when DDOT, engineering and planning firm Kittelson & Associates, Inc., and Conduent began piloting predictive occupancy detection techniques, using cameras and sensors to determine when and where vehicles were parking. Conduent used that information to build a demand-based pricing model in the Chinatown and Penn Quarter neighborhoods of downtown Washington D.C. DDOT sought to reduce congestion and make spots easier to find by charging more to park during high-use times.

 

The pilot resulted in a reduction in double parking, better utilized commercial loading zones, a 5-percent improvement in parking availability and a 12-percent boost in occupancy at underused areas due to pricing and other demand management tools such as time-limit adjustments.

 

“DDOT understands that parking policies have broad implications for transportation within the city,” said Mick Slattery, CEO, Conduent Transportation. “ParkDC is a tremendous initiative where we use our proprietary parking technology to analyze available data to implement variable pricing based on time and location.”

 

Conduent’s demand-based pricing model goes beyond relying on average parking spot occupancy rates to guide the cost of a given spot. The company’s proprietary technology compares high-use to low-use spaces to better account for motorists who are looking for parking spots. With ParkDC, DDOT was able to roll out nine different price bands to change demand by combining occupancy rate data gathered from meter and pay-by-cell payments with data collected from closed-circuit TV cameras and sensors.

 

Today, the ParkDC program provides real-time parking availability information to motorists via a variety of mobile applications. It also adjusts on-street hourly meter rates at nearly 1,000 parking spaces based on demand.
