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.”
