CurbTrac Assembles Industry Leaders to Innovate on COVID-19 Response with

Clean Driver Program

 

 

Pilot Grubhub Program Held in Philadelphia

 

 

 

 

Philadelphia, PA  – In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CurbTrac, a technology innovator in the parking and mobility industries, has launched the Clean Driver Program in partnership with ParkMobile, ParkOps, and Ballparc. The Clean Driver Program provides turn-key solutions for Transportation Network Companies (TNC), taxi companies, food delivery service providers, and corporate fleets to keep drivers and customers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic through PPE distribution sites and automotive sanitation services.  The Clean Driver Program is made possible through the combined efforts and teamwork of numerous parking and mobility technology partners.  Commenting on the launch of the program, CurbTrac CEO Charley DeBow said, “By combining the technology platforms of industry leaders like Park Mobile and Ballparc, alongside the staffing network of Park Ops and the logistics expertise of CurbTrac, The Clean Driver Program provides  clients with a cost-effective solution to quickly and efficiently distribute PPE kits directly into the hands of their drivers as well as provide a sanitation service for fleet operators.”

 

“ParkMobile is proud to be a part of this initiative to keep people safe and reduce the spread of COVID-19,” says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. “Drivers can easily use the ParkMobile app to reserve an appointment at the distribution site where they can pick up their PPE kits or have their cars sanitized.”

 

 

Another technology component of the Clean Driver Program is Ballparc, who will utilize their scanning validation functionality to track driver reservations that are redeemed within their reservation window. Ballparc’s CEO, Taylor Chapman said, “Ballparc is honored to be a part of this program and with partners that are willing to step up and think outside the box when called upon during these unprecedented times. This program is a great example of how vital innovation will continue to be in our rapidly changing industry.”

 

During the initial pilot for the Clean Driver Program in Philadelphia held this past week, CurbTrac distributed personal protective equipment (PPE) kits to food delivery drivers, courtesy of Grubhub.  The initial pilot program was also supported by the Philadelphia Parking Authority who provided the space for the distribution site. “Ensuring the safety of our community during these times is incredibly important, especially as delivery is one of the only ways restaurants are able to stay open right now,” stated Eric Ferguson, Senior Vice President of Logistics at Grubhub. “While we’ve already extended an easy way for our driver network to access PPE, our partnership with CurbTrac’s Clean Driver Program further extends our efforts and gives drivers in Philadelphia a quick and easy way to pick up the supplies they need – and at no cost to them.”

 

International Parking & Mobility Institute CEO, Shawn Conrad, also weighed in, stating, “IPMI firmly believes in addressing mobility at all points of a journey – from the first mile to the last, and addressing all aspects along the way. Customer safety and the patron experience remains the first and most important priority. We are proud of all of our members who are innovating, pivoting, and changing the way we handle disruptions to public and private transportation and operations in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The Clean Driver Program by CurbTrac represents the best of our industry – applying creativity, spurring innovation, and bringing communities together. This program, and others like it by IPMI members, serve to achieve big picture goals: protecting public health during the crisis; creating new employment opportunities for those in our industry and beyond; allowing us all to travel more freely and carefully as we reopen cities, campuses, and destinations; and helping our economy recover by getting us all moving again.”

CURBTRAC LAUNCHES A MULTIPLE PARKING APP MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

June 25, 2019

 

 

 

 

CURBTRAC LAUNCHES A MULTIPLE PARKING APP MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

 

 

 

Today CurbTrac, a Philadelphia based technology and consulting company, announced a new software platform for cities, universities and parking operators to easily manage multiple parking payment applications.

 

 

CurbTrac provides enterprise solutions for our clients to increase the use of mobile payments in their operations by offering a centralized platform that allows multiple parking apps to be offered to their parkers for payment. Increasing the adoption of mobile payment applications will allow our clients to improve efficiency, increase revenues and decrease the amount of capital expenditures on traditional parking payment hardware. CurbTrac will also allow for parking operators to create better curb management strategies by offering a centralized database of curb interactions. CurbTrac will continue to develop next-generation mobility solutions for cities to better manage their curbs with a focus on payment transaction management.

CurbTrac’s executive team has expertise in parking technology, mobile payments, parking operations, and urban mobility. Charley DeBow, co-founder and CEO is widely considered a parking and mobility technology innovator. He has held leadership roles in private parking operations, municipal parking management and has worked with over 100 cities and universities to implement a mobile payment program. He was recently honored by the International Parking and Mobility Institutes (IPMI) as the recipient of IPMI’s 2019 Emerging Leader award. Nathan Donnell, co-founder, is an innovative industry strategist with 20+ years of sales and management experience within the parking and mobility industries. Daniel Bell, co-founder and CTO, has previously scaled a parking management and technology company to 600 employees in multiple states.

“Mobile parking payment apps have been around for 10 years in North America, yet adoption rates remain low. Most parking operations only accept one specific parking app which limits consumer engagement.  With CurbTrac our clients can manage offering multiple payment channels to their consumers. Our software consolidates all financial reporting, API integrations, and operational data in one place. We are excited to announce our first deployment at the Forks in Winnipeg with our first partner, FNP Parking.”- Charley DeBow, CEO

FNP Parking began utilizing CurbTrac’s mobile payment management platform to offer their customers three different mobile payment options in 4,000 parking spaces at The Forks, a mixed-use development with over 4 Million visitors a year. PayByPhone, HonkMobile and Secunik payment apps are all available to parkers to pay for parking at the Forks.  “We are excited about our new partnership with CurbTrac. Our goal is to make parking at any of the Forks locations as easy as possible. The CurbTrac platform allows us to do so by offering our customers multiple payment options.”- Rob Pelletier, FNP Parking Manager at The Forks.
