Passport Advances Mobility Platform with NuPark Acquisition

 

Passport to combine NuPark’s license plate recognition (LPR)-based technology with its mobility platform and payments capabilities

 

 

 

Charlotte, N.C. (Oct. 9, 2018) — Passport today announced it has acquired NuPark, a leading parking management technology company. NuPark’s advanced LPR-based enterprise management solution for enforcement and permitting will help complement Passport’s strong base of mobile payment solutions to create a comprehensive mobility platform. Approximately 1 in 3 vehicles in the United States are processed through the combined system network, making Passport and NuPark leading players in the transportation industry. The NuPark combination brings Passport’s client count to over 550, and strengthens its ability to serve universities, hospitals and airports.

 

“With NuPark, we see an opportunity to create a differentiated offering for our clients, enabling them to further automate their operations under a single platform,” said Passport CEO, Bob Youakim. “Our technologies are very complementary, and we are aligned by a shared vision. We see this as a unique opportunity to fundamentally change the mobility space and the industry for the better.”

 

The transportation industry continues to experience tremendous changes at an unprecedented pace. Cities, universities and operators are facing an incredible amount of pressure to keep up with technological change. New modes of transportation are introduced quickly, and citizen expectations continue to increase. The proliferation of new technologies means that transportation administrators need to rely on software-based solutions more, in order to support all modes of transportation and to drive higher efficiencies among their own operations.

 

“This combination accelerates our ability to empower our customers with next generation management solutions,” said Kevin Uhlenhaker, NuPark CEO. “Our shared vision, to leverage technology to create a better customer experience and enable one-to-one connections, align perfectly. Ultimately our goal is to create transportation solutions that work and provide added value.”

 

The addition of NuPark enables Passport to better serve clients by offering an integrated suite of software solutions, backed by the industry’s strongest payments backbone, processing over $400M in transportation payments per year. From its very inception, Passport has brought cutting-edge solutions to parking, transit and tolling, and this acquisition will further help its expanding client base solve not only the challenges of today but also prepare for the ones of the future. “The NuPark acquisition will bring a passionate team of industry veterans with deep industry knowledge, to Passport’s client base. Both of our teams share a drive to create innovative technology-based solutions for our clients,” explained Youakim.

 

The NuPark acquisition is part of Passport’s broader strategy to rapidly bring innovation and solutions into the market. In the past year, the company has seen explosive growth through its investment in international expansion, new product development and M&A activity, which led to its Inc 5000 recognition as the fastest growing mobility company in North America.

Rutgers University Chooses NuPark for Parking Efficiency

Rutgers University Chooses NuPark for Parking Efficiency

 

 

 

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., May 14, 2018  — Rutgers University has announced its decision to choose parking management software leader NuPark to elevate the school’s parking services. NuPark’s enhanced system brings license plate recognition (LPR) technology, virtual permitting, and advanced data analytics to Rutgers in order to create more effective, future-focused processes for the complex, multi-campus parking program.

 

“We are a small department that serves well over 90,000 students, faculty, and staff,” said Jack E. Molenaar, Senior Director, Rutgers Department of Transportation Services. “We selected NuPark because they meet our needs for greater efficiency with our limited department resources.”

NuPark’s cloud-based software manages permitting, enforcement, appeals, and events and seamlessly integrates with other campus systems. Rutgers’ Parking Services team will use 10 vehicles equipped with mobile LPR and six fixed-LPR camera locations for enforcement. The real-time data extracted from the LPR system will provide comprehensive, parking-utilization analytics, which will allow them to not only count cars, but also to identify where and when parking permissions are being used. Rutgers will be able to use this information to better utilize their lots, manage traffic flow, create added convenience for their parkers, and make informed decisions for their future.  “Transportation is deeply intertwined with the University Physical Master Plan. The data we glean from the new system will aid our growth plans,” added Molenaar. Transportation Services is a unit of Rutgers Division of Institutional Planning and Operations.

Jim Leida, VP of Sales and Marketing for NuPark, says, “Rutgers has taken a truly forward-thinking approach to parking services. They are moving to the latest technologies that will provide them with a wide variety of tools to better serve the campus community.”

UNC CHARLOTTE PARTNERS WITH NUPARK TO BRING SMART PARKING SOLUTIONS TO CAMPUS

UNC CHARLOTTE PARTNERS WITH NUPARK TO
BRING SMART PARKING SOLUTIONS TO CAMPUS

Seamless System Integrations and Next Generation Solutions Leads UNC Charlotte to Choose NuPark’s Open Parking Platform

 

 

 

CHARLOTTE, NC —MAY 31, 2017 – UNC Charlotte (UNCC) has partnered with NuPark, the leading provider of integrated, real-time open parking management solutions, to bring smart parking to campus operations. The University will optimize its parking operations across campus by implementing NuPark’s open parking management platform, including License Plate Recognition (LPR), virtual permits, Gate System Integration, and multiple mobile payment options.

LPR-based Smart Parking Management

NuPark’s unique management platform offers UNC Charlotte’s Parking and Transportation Services (PaTS) a new way to issue, modify, or remove parking privileges in real time. LPR technology is utilized to streamline the permit verification process and to gather parking occupancy and utilization analytics. This new data will allow PaTS to increase the flexibility, efficiency, and availability of parking on campus.

“License plate recognition for enforcement is becoming popular for institutional use across the country as the technology becomes a more reliable, cost-effective solution, “ says Doug Lape, UNC Charlotte’s PaTS director. “We are excited to bring advanced technology to the UNC Charlotte campus.”

Virtual Permit Parking and More Convenient Mobile Payment Options

LPR technology offers additional convenient options for students, faculty and staff: virtual parking permits can be linked to license plates, which means customers no longer need to go to the parking office to receive their parking permits. Students, faculty, and staff can access the new parking system’s web portal to purchase permits, manage accounts, and much more, all from the convenience of their computer, tablet, or phone.

NuPark System Will Integrate with Sentry SKIDATA Plus System

SKIDATA access and revenue control system (PARCs) provided by Sentry Control Systems will seamlessly integrate with NuPark’s open management platform. The two systems will seamlessly communicate parking data, including permits, utilization, and occupancy, in real time. Blair Taylor, Vice President of Sentry, asserts that “SKIDATA’s unique flexibility allowed UNCC to easily transition from their legacy solution. This enhances convenience for all users.” This communication will offer unprecedented visibility, which will permit the PaTS staff to make more informed parking decisions.

With Fall 2016 enrollment of more than 28,700 students, the University leverages its location in the state’s largest city to offer internationally competitive programs of research and creative activity, exemplary undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, and a focused set of community engagement initiatives.

FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY EXPANDS SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS WITH DYNAMIC CARPOOL MANAGEMENT AND VIRTUAL PERMITTING

 

 

 

FIU Integrates NuPark’s Parking Management with RideFlag’s On-Demand Carpooling App to Optimize University Parking and Reduce its Carbon Footprint

 

 

 

MIAMI, FL—FEBRUARY 21, 2017 – NuPark, the leading provider of smartparking management solutions, announced today the integration of its parking management solution with RideFlag’s Carpool on Demand app at Florida International University (FIU) campus. By combining carpooling with a digital pass parking verification process for the first time anywhere in the country, FIU now can not only help students, faculty,and staff dynamically organize carpools to campus but also provideon-demand, dynamic access to premium parking on campusfor those riders to optimize the university’s parking spaces and decreaseits carbon footprint.

FIU’s carpooling program encourages Florida International University members to reduce the number of times they drive alone to campus each week. FIU’s new carpooling solution uses its new RideFlag Carpool on Demand app, which allows users to dynamically coordinate rides to and from campus with other users who are taking the same route. Once a carpool is completedwithin the app, it automatically notifies FIU Parking & Transportation, and through NuPark’s Parking Management System, a one-day virtual permit is automatically issued for the driver to park in a premium parking space upon arrival to FIU.Carpool drivers with a valid FIU parking permit, such as students or staff, are allowed to park in carpool spaces across campus, and visitors will be directed to metered parking.

“Through our partnerships with RideFlag and NuPark, we are excited to use innovative technologies to bring new transportation options to our FIU community,” said Thomas Hartley, the executive director of Parking & Transportation. “NuPark and RideFlag’s parking solutions have allowed us to not only do our fair share to reduce cars on the road but also minimize parking requirements and reduce our carbon footprint.”

CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, AZ, SELECTS NUPARK AS PART OF ITS NEW COMPREHENSIVE PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

January 30, 2017

 

CITY OF FLAGSTAFF, AZ, SELECTS NUPARK AS PART OF ITS NEW COMPREHENSIVE PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 

 

 

Provides Easier and More Cost Efficient Way to Find, Pay for, and Enforce Parking using new Networked Kiosks and Virtual Permits

 

 

FLAGSTAFF, AZ–JANUARY 30, 2017 – NuPark, the leading provider of smart parking management solutions, has been awarded the contract to provide automated parking management and enforcement for the City of Flagstaff, AZ. NuPark Parking Management System will be a key part of the City’s new Comprehensive Parking Management Program designed to maximize the utilization of parking for the public, residents, business owners, tourists, and employees within the downtown and Southside area.

Flagstaff residents and shop owners have expressed concern that downtown employees and college students occupy many of the on-street parking spaces in the downtown and surrounding neighborhood areas. This makes it difficult for residents to find parking on the street in front of their homes during the day and for customers to find parking for local businesses. The City of Flagstaff is creating a pay-to-park system with permits for employees and residents in the areas surrounding downtown Flagstaff.

By using NuPark’s parking management system, Flagstaff residents and visitors will now have an easier time finding and paying for parking. The City of Flagstaff will have a streamlined, easier and flexible way to manage parking permits and verify authorized parking (enforcement) using License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology.

“The goal of managing our parking is to use what we have more efficiently and to build more parking,” commented Karl Eberhard, AIA Community Design and Redevelopment Manager for the City of Flagstaff. “NuPark has been a vital contributor to the development of a Comprehensive Parking Management Plan for the City of Flagstaff and we look forward to our transition to a modern parking system that provides parking for customers, employees and residents.”

Pay by Plate Downtown – NuPark’s system seamlessly integrates with Parkeon Strata meters to allow the Flagstaff resident and visitors to easily pay for parking throughout the commercial areas of downtown and Southside, using parking kiosks, smartphones using the mobile app – Whoosh! – or from the City of Flagstaff’s parking website. The system allows the City’s parking professionals to quickly verify parking payments to help maximize the utilization of the City’s parking assets.

New Residential Parking Permit program – To help ensure residents have access to the on-street parking spaces in their neighborhoods, the City of Flagstaff will be implementing NuPark’s automated residential permitting system to manage the creation of virtual permits as well as the enforcement of these spaces using license plate recognition to quickly verify parking permissions and create parking citations when appropriate. The NuPark system also includes an online resident permit portal to allow for easy account changes and vistor permit management.

New Employee Parking Permit program – Historically, parking was limited for employees, hence their parking in the downtown. An automated employee parking permit program has been created by NuPark to allow employees to find a place to park. The employee parking permit program includes an online portal similar to the residential parking permit program to allow for easy account changes.

Parking in the City of Flagstaff will be managed by ParkFlag, an enterprise fund of the City of Flagstaff. Further details regarding the new permit program in the City can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ParkFlag/.

About ParkFlag

In March of 2016, the Flagstaff City Council adopted a Comprehensive Parking Management Plan and created ParkFlag as the agency to implement the plan and manage parking. While it is a sub-division of the City, it was established as an enterprise fund so that the revenues and expenses of the program are self-contained. In private business it would be called a wholly-own subsidiary. Actually the moniker ParkFlag has been used for the last two years to describe the founding group and effort. This current effort is actually the last of many efforts to address the parking issues in Flagstaff – the leading issues being a shortage of spaces, who’s going to pay for more, and without parking management, the shortage is exacerbated. This effort is distinct from previous efforts in that it proposes solutions to all three issues and has support from eleven stakeholder groups that include the Downtown Business District, major employers in downtown, the university, and the surrounding neighborhoods.
