Conduent: Traffic on Major U.S. Toll Road Systems Achieves Strong Recovery Toward Pre-COVID-19 Levels

 

Analysis by tolling leader Conduent Transportation shows total traffic volumes down by just 8.7 percent in November 2020, compared with 2019, largely recovering from the 50 percent decline experienced in April 2020

 

Traffic volume data closely follows pandemic trends and reopening of communities, as well as proactive steps by toll systems

 

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., December 17, 2020 — After the COVID-19 pandemic caused toll road traffic volumes to drop by approximately 50 percent year over year in April 2020, traffic volumes on several of the nation’s largest toll road systems have recovered to an 8.7 percent year-over-year decline in November, according to an analysis of data usage from Conduent Transportation, a unit of Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT). These volumes include electronic toll transactions using a transponder and license plate images captured for toll-by-mail programs.

 

The gains in traffic volumes are a reflection of states lifting COVID-19-related restrictions since spring, as well as efforts by state and local tolling agencies to encourage road usage by motorists, according to Conduent, the industry leader in automated or electronic tolling across the United States. The company is also supporting clients as more transportation agencies shift to all-cashless transactions, which eliminates the handling of currency and limits exposures.

 

Traffic trends could remain volatile heading into 2021. For example, the traffic volume recovery peaked in September, but year-over-year declines widened slightly in October and November.

 

Conduent manages road usage charging, parking, public transit and traffic safety systems for government clients globally. In 2019, Conduent managed more than 4 billion U.S. toll road transactions for transportation agencies, representing more than 50 percent of total motorist transactions among the 15 largest toll road systems in the nation by traffic volume. Conduent’s analysis of 2020 toll road trends encompasses six of the 10 largest toll systems in the U.S., including systems in California, Florida, New Jersey and New York. Combined these systems averaged nearly 270 million motorist transactions per month in 2019.

 

According to the analysis of 2020 toll traffic versus 2019 levels:

  • After year-over-year gains of 6.2 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively, in January and February, traffic volumes declined in March to 12 percent below 2019 levels.
  • This year-over-year traffic decline continued dramatically to low points of approximately 50 percent in April and 37.1 percent in May below 2019.
  • Since April, traffic improved significantly, flattening to declines of 16.2 percent in June and 16.7 percent in July versus 2019.
  • The year-over-year declines narrowed to 10 percent in August and 2.4 percent in September, and declined 7.1 percent in October.

 

 

“The recovery in toll traffic on U.S. road systems from the steep declines in the spring shows the impact of states lifting restrictions that kept people off roads and highways and away from local businesses and workplaces,” said Scott Doering, Vice President and General Manager, Road Usage Charging at Conduent Transportation. “The volume improvement is also a result of actions taken by tolling agencies to encourage motorists to get back on the road. While traffic could remain volatile due to broader pandemic trends, the recovery so far has been positive for states that often rely on toll revenue to fund transportation infrastructure improvements.”

 

According to Doering, proactive steps states have taken to increase road usage included temporary moratoriums on toll charges, suspension of administrative and/or late fees, and the overall shift to cashless transactions.

MARSTON HOLDINGS PARTNERS WITH HOMELESS CHARITIES TO HELP PEOPLE BACK INTO THE WORKPLACE

MARSTON HOLDINGS PARTNERS WITH HOMELESS CHARITIES TO HELP PEOPLE BACK INTO THE WORKPLACE

 

 

EPPING, ESSEX, 30 NOVEMBER 2020 – Marston Holdings, the UK’s largest provider of transportation and enforcement services, has partnered with the homeless charity St Mungo’s and Radical Recruit, a not-for-profit organisation which bridges the gap between disadvantaged job seekers and the business world.  This partnership is helping some of London’s homeless people back into the workplace.

 

According to Emma Freivogel, founder of Radical Recruit:  “ We are delighted to partner with Marston Holdings which has proved that ‘doing good’ and driving business success do not have to be mutually exclusive. The people we represent are often viewed through a lens of mistrust and assumed to lack the motivation, skills and abilities to secure and sustain employment.  Subsequently, they are discarded on the ‘talent scrapheap’. This is a waste of human life, bad for business and detrimental to the economy. We are grateful that businesses such as Marston Holdings exist.  Its leadership, especially in the current economic environment, is indispensable.’’

 

The pandemic has seen many of London’s homeless being temporarily housed in hotels across the capital. St Mungo’s case workers and Radical Recruit have been working with over 100 men and women, some as young as 18, preparing them for life back in the working world by assessing their interview and work readiness, supporting with CV development and running one-to-one interview coaching sessions.

 

Marston Holdings has run two recruitment days attended by around 40 people who heard about the company, its values and ways of working as well as available career opportunities.  Interactive Q&A sessions helped put the candidates at ease and answered their questions prior to the formal interview process.  Nine candidates have now joined frontline teams at NSL working on contracts including Camden, Islington, Westminster, and Lewisham. A further four candidates are being interviewed for other positions in and around London.

 

“I am really proud to have been involved in the project both from a commercial and personal social value point of view.  Too often we overlook people based on their personal circumstances but when you dig deeper and get to know them, you realise that they have so much to offer and just need a helping hand to kick start their lives and reach their true potential,” added Paolo Orezzi, NSL’s Service Director.

 

The success of this partnership demonstrates how seriously Marston Holdings takes its social value responsibilities. The scheme has been met with real praise from clients in the four London boroughs and the company is looking to extend it nationally.

The freedom of driving your car to work – ParkNews.biz week of Oct 27th-Nov 2nd, 2020

The freedom of driving your car to work – ParkNews.biz week of Oct 27th-Nov 2nd, 2020

 

 

Voting for good news!  This week on ParkNews.biz, there is an article from ParkOffice offering hope and thus, energizing: “Car predicted to play a massive role in return to office – Mobility experts unite to help employers manage journeys to the office safely”

According to this article, there is going to be an increased demand for parking spaces.  Be it for cars or e-bikes.  It seems that people lost some confidence in public transportation.  “A recent McKinsey report showed commuter confidence in transport options has changed radically over the last course of the pandemic with only 7% of respondents believing public transport is a safe way to travel. This is raising serious questions for many employers who need to figure out alternative ways to attract staff back to the office.”

Another article from ParkMobile shows the signs that we will be busy in parking industry: “ParkMobile Data Shows Continuing Comeback in U.S. Cities.” “At the current growth rate, it is estimated that parking transactions will get back to pre-COVID levels in mid-2021.”

The contactless theme of this year continues. New users are getting app and cities are adopting app payments. City of Pensacola, FL launched a new app from Flowbird called PARKPensacola. ParkMobile partnered with Park First to bring their app to several cities across Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama.

PayByPhone app finally comes to Arlington, MA after a long push for a parking app.

FlashParking expands their mobility ecosystem by partnering with Bird and EVBox. “COVID-19 has changed the mobility landscape, accelerating the need for mobility hubs. Consumers have abandoned mass transit in favor of personal vehicles and last-mile open-air transit options, like Bird, who has seen its ridership and length of ride double. Coupled with mandates in municipalities like California that can require up to 10% of parking spaces have EV charging installed, asset owners and operators now more than ever need a partner to help get real estate ready to meet current consumer demands.”

Sad news from Chicago: Their parking tickets drop 52% and their booting revenues 42%.

JVH has LPR trending as a hot topic in his blogs. Socratic dialogue happening and perhaps an invitation to a different approach. “One comment that caught my eye was a reader who thought the whole idea of LPR was a waste. Seems he feels that it can be replaced with Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and it never fails. A failure rate of 2 or 3 percent would cause huge traffic problems, he stated, and therefore a back up credential was needed anyway. So why go to the expense of LPR in the first place.”

Tomorrow is a voting day. With early voting this election day feels weird. Will we know the results tomorrow? Either way, I pray it will be all peaceful. In my LA neighborhood most shops are boarded and that includes a bagel shop and a subway store. Rodeo Drive which is less than 2 miles away is shut down tomorrow and Wednesday both for cars and pedestrians. All the stores boarded. Afterall, as one store owner said, it is cheaper to put us some plywood vs replacing broken windows and stolen merchandise.

Tomorrow we might know if we can still afford to take Uber or Lyft in California, if prop 22 passes.

I am praying and voting for good news for us all. God bless the USA!

Sincerely,

Astrid Ambroziak

Fleet Advantage’s Innovative Sale-Leaseback Program Now Totals Over $24.5 Million In New Business In First Six Months Following May Launch

Fleet Advantage’s Innovative Sale-Leaseback Program Now Totals Over $24.5 Million In New Business In First Six Months Following May Launch

 

 

 

Pioneering Program Adds Cash & Flexibility To Help Companies Remain Competitive Today and Tomorrow

 

 

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (October 28, 2020) – Fleet Advantage, a leading innovator in truck fleet business analytics, equipment financing, and life cycle cost management (LCCM) announced it has secured an additional volume of $7.5 million in new business through its pioneering Sale-Leaseback program. The additional volume follows an initial $17 million generated shortly after the program’s launch in May.

Fleet Advantage’s Sale-Leaseback program continues to receive extremely favorable market response based on its flexibility to dispose of surplus trucks and convert “dormant equity” locked up in truck ownership into cash with the opportunity to upgrade the fleet at a future date.

The program is ideal in today’s economic climate where organizations need more flexibility to right-size their fleet operations as well as identify an immediate influx of cash. Fleet Advantage will purchase a set number of existing truck equipment assets and lease them back to clients until they transition into newer, safer equipment at a predetermined, fixed monthly payment. The transaction also produces an ongoing reduction in their overall costs. Clients working with Fleet Advantage have all determined that leasing their trucks offers lower cost, greater flexibility, reduced risk and improved cash flow.

“Our Sale-Leaseback initiative helped to immediately improve the cash flow for several clients when we implemented the program following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year,” said Katerina Jones, Sr. Director of Marketing and Business Development of Fleet Advantage. “The program has continued to be a critical factor for many clients looking to remain competitive with their fleet operations during an economy that still shows great uncertainty.”

Benefits of the Sale-leaseback program include:

  • Right-sizing of a fleet
  • More efficient use of capital
  • Reduction of risk to seller on the future disposition of trucks
  • Beneficial accounting treatment that does not add to long-term debt or impact lending covenants
  • Retains full access to existing credit facilities
  • New truck upgrades at a pre-determined, fixed monthly lease payment

One Loudoun Upgrades its Park Experience with Park Assist

One Loudoun Upgrades its Park Experience with Park Assist

 

 

 

CHESHIRE, CT – October 21st, 2020 – ​​​​Park Assist® has been awarded the Parking Guidance System (PGS) contract for One Loudoun in Ashburn, Virginia. The mixed-use development, owned and operated by Retail Properties of America (RPAI), is Loudoun County’s top destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Over the coming months, this vibrant commercial center will expand even further, enhancing the mix of its Downtown commercial core by adding One Loudoun’s first multi-family residential housing community and incorporating new shopping and dining options. To accommodate this continued growth, RPAI added two additional garages, H and G, to expand parking options. Park Assist’s camera-based M4 smart-sensor system will be installed in these new garages in lieu of the ultrasonic single-space PGS previously utilized across the development.

By deploying Park Assist’s camera-based M4 smart-sensor system, the installation will require less hardware and support an array of cloud-based software functionalities and back-end operational benefits that an ultrasonic counting method cannot. With higher accuracy and a cutting-edge reporting platform, INX™, One Loudon will use Park Assist’s solution to simplify the parking experience, leveraging License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology and Park Assist’s Park Alerts™ software module to manage its customer traffic flow and user groups more effectively.

Park Assist will also install its state-of-the-art digital Variable Messaging Signs (VMS). These digital signs display a vast array of occupancy data, equipped with split-screen, scrolling, and toggling capabilities, empowering visitors to make informed decisions from the moment they enter the garage. As wayfinding signage guides users to appropriate parking areas within the facility, Park Assist’s exclusive M4 smart-sensor system enhances the guidance experience by indicating which specific spaces are available or occupied using color-coded LED lights.

Powered by Park Assist’s software platform, INX, parking management will also gain valuable control over the garage with Park Alerts. Using integrated LPR technology and duration monitoring capabilities, this module allows parking management to effectively monitor space utilization and enforce parking policies. Park Alerts will send notifications to management of any policy violations via time-based or license plate-based alerts.

RPAI was heavily invested in utilizing the intelligent infrastructure of Park Assist’s PGS to further automate its operation, all from one data-driven reporting platform, INX. Providing valuable insight down to the bay level, this logic engine allows parking management to create customizable enforcement routines based on license plates, location, and dwell time. By building these flexible user zones and protocols, One Loudon can manage its asset and easily optimize transient parking spaces.

“It has been a fantastic experience working with RPAI and Potomac Development to enhance their mixed-use development. With a higher functioning camera-based solution in the new H and G garages, the M4 parking guidance system will bring a cutting edge feel to their parking operation.” Said Robert Wishart, Regional Account Manager.

Working with Clear Communications, the installation is scheduled to begin in October and slated for completion in 2021.

About Park Assist
Park Assist® is the parking industry’s leading camera-focused innovator with the most camera-based parking guidance installations in the world. Our patented technology helps customers effortlessly find parking spaces in real-time as well as find their cars when they return. Simultaneously, we provide parking operators with tools to improve customer satisfaction, create new revenue opportunities, realize greater operational control, capture parker analytics, and expand CCTV capabilities.

Fleet Advantage Announces Increased Demand For Off-Lease Used Trucks Throughout 2020

Fleet Advantage Announces Increased Demand For Off-Lease Used Trucks Throughout 2020

 

 

 

Exceeds Sales of 400 Units Totaling Over $10 Million in Fiscal Q1 Ending in September

 

 

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Fleet Advantage, a leading innovator in truck fleet business analytics, equipment financing, and life cycle cost management (LCCM) announced today it has been active in the sales of off-lease used trucks this year, with total units sold exceeding 400 units in its fiscal first quarter ending September 30, 2020, with sales in excess of $10 million.

There has been more buying and selling activity of new and used heavy-duty trucks since the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the latest report from ACT Research, “unforeseen robustness of the perfect storm of positives into late spring and summer, following the initial shock of COVID-19 shutdowns and other mitigation efforts, has resulted in sharp upgrades in commercial vehicle expectations since May.1”

Amplifying this further, more companies are looking to replace aging trucks earlier in their life cycle to realize greater cost savings newer equipment offers in reduced fuel, improved maintenance and safety expenses, as well as lower emissions output2.

To help its clients with the sale of used off-lease trucks, earlier this year Fleet Advantage hired Francis Maloney as Remarketing Sales Manager. Fleet Advantage serves America’s premier private transportation fleets and therefore has a consistent inventory of quality used equipment, which are late models with low mileages. This means that even the secondary buyer is acquiring a truck that’s in better condition than the average used heavy-duty unit and they also benefit from lower fuel, maintenance and safety expenses, in addition to improved emissions output.

In September alone Fleet Advantage sold 229 off-lease used trucks for over $6.2 million in revenue. According to Maloney, “we continue to work with our clients as we have a large backlog of committed transactions in October with robust demand in the coming months. As more demand for the shipment of goods requires additional truck transportation, we expect the market for off-lease used trucks to remain strong for the foreseeable future.”
