Raleigh launches mobile pay parking app, Passport Parking

Visitors and residents can pay to park with their smartphones throughout downtown

 

Raleigh, N.C. (March 25, 2019) — Today the City of Raleigh announced the launch of Passport Parking, a mobile app to facilitate payments for parking. Passport, the leading mobility platform provider, works with nearly 600 clients to help them manage their mobility ecosystems.

The citywide launch of Passport Parking comes after a successful pilot, executed with approximately 200 parking spots on Hillsborough Street. Now, the app can be used to pay for parking at more than 1,300 spaces downtown. In addition to using the app to pay for parking, users can extend a parking session remotely, eliminating the need to return to a meter to add more time. Parking session information, payment history and email receipts are also available through the app.

“We are very excited about our partnership with Passport and the deployment of the mobile pay solution to our greater downtown area,” said Paul Kallam, assistant director of infrastructure at Raleigh’s Transportation Department. “Our goal is to improve how we make data-driven decisions and that begins with using state-of-the-art technology for a seamless account of what is happening in our city. We want to continue our efforts to expand on our parking management initiatives, aimed at providing convenient, safe, and easy parking for everyone.”

Now, Passport-powered parking solutions are implemented in three of North Carolina’s largest cities – Raleigh, Charlotte and Durham – as well as Asheville and Wilmington.

“With Passport Parking now available in Raleigh, Passport is thrilled to celebrate another launch in our home state of North Carolina,” said Kelsey Owens, sales director at Passport, “We are dedicated to helping every city transform their mobility management with our technology solutions to create more efficient operations and positive experiences for drivers.”

Drivers can download the free Passport Parking app from the App Store, Google Play or manage online at passportparking.com.

SinglePoint subsidiary ShieldSaver Launches New Mobile Application in Colorado, California and Arizona

 

SHIELD SAVER AND THE BLOCKCHAIN March 18

SEATTLE, March 18, 2019 — SinglePoint (OTCQB:SING) a fully reporting company with assets in many verticals including mobile technology, cannabis services, blockchain, and renewable energy projects announces the official launch of ShieldSaver. SinglePoint acquired ShieldSaver early 2018 with the intent to disrupt the $12 Billion dollar automotive glass industry. ShieldSaver is now operational in Sacramento International Airport (SMF) and Wally Park’s Denver International Airport (DIA) locations. The company has recently completed its first round of end to end transactions with the newly built interface. This is a huge success for the company and has already sparked interest from other leading companies in the space.

Recently, Dan Shikiar, founder of ShieldSaver joined Greg Lambrecht, CEO of SinglePoint in this video interview to provide an overview and insight to ShieldSaver and how the concept was developed.

SinglePoint ShieldSaver Video Interview

“With the new application SinglePoint led in developing over the past year, we have started to grab a lot of attention. Opportunities have started to pile up after our first showcase – people who see the ShieldSaver platform absolutely love it.  We feel this market is underserved and is ripe for new technologies to streamline for customers and providers,” states Dan Shikiar founder of ShieldSaver.

“We spent over 9 months with our development team completely rebuilding the ShieldSaver platform.  We feel it is one of the most sophisticated apps to date for automotive glass space, and has the potential to expand beyond that vertical to the automotive repair market as well,” states Greg Lambrecht, adding, “Our model for ShieldSaver mirrors that of AirBnB, 1-800-FLOWERS, and other sales aggregators that bring the experience to the consumer.”

Now that the mobile application has been developed and data is being recorded, SinglePoint and ShieldSaver will start the build out of a blockchain solution to append this data. This will help in access and distribution of the data to the key parties that need it.

The Automotive Glass Market surpassed $12 Billion in 2017 and is predicted to exhibit around a 7% CAGR between 2018 and 2024. ShieldSaver has entered into strategic partnerships with some of the largest companies in the space, including Mygrant Glass, Wally Park, LAZ Parking, and others further positioning the company for rapid growth.
