Parking Meter Summary for the City of Columbia, MO Presented Parking Meter Summary For The City of Columbia, MO Presented by: Parkeon Overview What does the City of Columbia want from meters? Technology is changing, will your meters keep up? Parkeon, the global leader in multiple space parking meters, continues to plan for the future by spending several million dollars annually on Research and Development. An example of this is our latest touch screen meter that is driven by a Linux operating system. This allows for easy integration for solutions such as transit ticketing, pay by plate, mapping and Amber Alerts. The following information provides several possibilities on where you may want to take your parking…we are here to work with you to determine the right suite of solutions for the City of Columbia. Parkeon’s Vision for Columbia Parkeon’s approach for Columbia starts with the goal of protecting your investment, both today and in the future. This means providing you with the power to upgrade your system to meet the changing needs of the Columbia market. It also means that you will have the ability to utilize the Parkeon system not just for parking applications, but any application that is useful for an on-street networked kiosk. Now you can use your parking infrastructure to give residents an enhanced user experience by offering additional features to make their lives easier. We start with changing the way we look at the multi-space parking meter. In today’s market, pay stations have software inside to allow them to adequately sell parking to motorists. This is restrictive and doesn’t allow for quick and easy installation of new and exciting applications outside of parking. And, once you’ve invested in a specific machine, you are typically stuck with that technology for years and years. Parkeon is moving out of the box. Our solution is to take the main intelligence out of the pay station and put that intelligence onto our servers. First, this lets you buy the machine casing and main components but gives you the opportunity to upgrade the software over and over for as long as you like. Second, this allows us to provide a kiosk that is open to offering a multitude of services beyond parking, and gives you the benefit of future proofing your investment by adding these services over time. Examples of these services are: - Sale of public transportation fares (bus, train, etc) - Acceptance and reload of various smart card solutions - Advertising from local businesses - Public information to residents and tourists - Call of taxi cabs from the pay station - And, of course, new parking services as well such as citation payment on the meter The unique piece of this solution that will really benefit Columbia is that the system is open to the City or a partner to develop its own special applications. We will provide software development kits (SDKs) to the City so that you can upgrade on the fly and utilize the pay stations as effectively as possible. A Full Line of Pay Stations for Extreme Flexibility We want to make sure Columbia is aware that Parkeon has various options to handle not only parking, but other services that could be interesting for your motorists. This range is as follows: CITYPAL Strada ID Line Strada Line (BNA, Rapide, Transfer) With this full range of products, you will have the ability to mix and match based on functionality of the pay station as well as the price. For example, CITYPAL is the perfect machine to put in the center of the City to provide information to tourists such as maps and places of interest. The Rapide and Transfer units accept coins and cards only but are a very economical choice. The product range is scalable as you grow and as we add features to our offer. The system we are proposing to Columbia is built using the knowledge and experience we have gained by working with cities such as Columbia for over 20 years. The design of the system is meant to allow for you to build the system you want over the long term and provide: • Flexibility for the City to make system changes (ie rate changes) as needed without having to call Parkeon every time • A more friendly parking experience for your customers • Two-way real time data exchange between the machines and the back-office • Reliability and security level you expect of Parkeon machines • Significant cost savings over the short and long term Back-End Flexibility with myParkfolio By taking advantage of more advanced multi-space meter technology through the Strada ID system, Columbia will have the power to control the units as needed. Through the myParkfolio interface you are already familiar with, you will not only have the ability to monitor meter status and produce various reports, but you can change rates, displays, and receipt layouts when you want with an easy to use tool. Rate Changes on Demand With Parkeon’s new rate editor and download module, Columbia will be able to modify rates on the fly without having to come back to Parkeon to make the change. If you have a special event coming up, your team will have the power to edit the rate on the machine and send the download to the unit in real-time. If you are trying to manage parking congestion, you can use myParkfolio data to understand the parking trends in the City and then make adjustments to rates at certain times of the day. Present New Information to Your Customers Through myParkfolio, Columbia will be able to change messages on the machine display screens and download them remotely. This is the perfect tool to make the public aware of a special event coming up in the City, a pending change to parking regulations, news about road closures, and more. This tool can also be used to place advertising on the displays in order to generate more profitable revenues for the City. You can also present new information to customers via parking receipts. Make changes right on myParkfolio and download the new ticket to Strada ID. In addition to public information, receipts are a great way for businesses to advertise via a printed coupon. Knowing that the City can change the receipts as needed, makes implementing an advertising program much easier. Fast Reports through Real Time Data With the Strada ID system, all transactions, warnings, alarms, and collection information is sent in real- time from the units to myParkfolio. You now know at all times exactly what is happening in your park. This makes the myParkfolio hot-line module very effective. When a customer calls in and gives you the machine number, you can easily figure out if there is truly a problem with the machine. Real time data also gives your collection team the exact status of your cash boxes at the time you check, so you can send a collection staff member out if there is machine that needs immediate collection. Reconciliation of credit card collections is also much easier with our real-time transactions feature. An additional feature we will provide is the ability to have an automatic daily export of all transaction data into Excel so that you have access to all your data very quickly to create the custom reports you need. Transactions Mapping – View color coded meter map to see which areas of your City have high, low, or average performing meters to make decisions on parking policies. Zoom in to get detailed transactions information. Build the System You Want With Parkeon By continuing your partnership with Parkeon, you have the flexibility to build a system through us that takes advantages of integrations we have already completed or are currently working on. This allows you to quickly implement solutions without waiting for development to happen. Parkeon has the following integrations: • Pay-by-Cell - Integrations with Parkmobile and Verrus allowing for integrated enforcement and extension of parking time remotely • Vehicle Sensors - Integration with StreetSmart Technologies • Citation Management - Integrations with Duncan Solutions, T2 Systems, and Complus Data • Single Space Meters - Integration with IPS Group • Motorist Guidance - Integration with Parking in Motion • Electric Vehicle Charging - Integration with Schneider Electric • License Plate Recognition - Integration pending with Genetec (AutoVu) Pros and Cons of MSPMs and SSPMs There are pros and cons to both single space and multiple space meters. While Parkeon only manufacturers multiple space parking meters, we have integrated with IPS to provide a single back office management solution through myParkfolio for cities so that they can provide a blended parking program. Several Cities such as Austin, Oklahoma City and Fort Worth are all rolling out blended meter programs. A few reasons for a blended program: • Acceptance-late adopters will still have a single space parking meter to park at • Coverage-Multiple space parking meters (MSPMs) provide cost effective coverage for 5-15 contiguous spaces. Single space parking meters (SSPMs) can cover areas that are not conducive for MSPMs. The main advantage of a credit card accepting SSPM is that people are familiar with SSPMs so can easily convert to using one that accepts credit cards but the added costs and lower revenue increase do not outweigh the benefits. Why Multi-Space Meter Technology Empirical data from cities that have replaced traditional single- space parking meters with Parkeon’s multi-space pay stations achieve a 20-40% increase in parking meter revenue. For example, the City of Seattle increased its revenue by 40% as a direct result of converting their single-space meters to Parkeon’s multi-space pay stations. Information from other cities indicates that the impact of multi-space meter technology has been positive in a significant way.

Garrick, Ph.D. University of Connecticut Connecticut Transportation Institute Civil and Environmental Engineering U-37, Storrs, CT 06269-2037 TEL: (860) 486-2990 FAX: (860) 486-2298 [email protected] November 15, 2005 To be Presented at The 85th Annual Meeting of Transportation Research Board January 2005, Washington D.C. Word Count: 7,428 ABSTRACT The goal of this project is to better understand parking and parking provision as it relates to smaller cities and towns with mixed-use centers. Specifically, we wanted to address how having a dense, walkable, mixed-use center affects parking supply and demand, and how mixed- use centers compare to centers designed along more conventional lines. We tested these questions by conducting case study assessments of six sites in New England. Three of the sites were designated study sites because they were dense, walkable, mixed-use centers. They were contrasted with three control sites that were centers with more conventional development patterns. In general, the three mixed-use study sites provided much less parking per square foot than the conventional control sites. The study sites thrived by making much more efficient use of land for parking. The study sites also furnished a significant amount of on-street parking and relied more on shared municipal parking lots and parking garages. Given these differences, it is surprising to note that the towns with mixed-use centers demanded almost as much parking for new construction as did the towns in which the conventional sites are located.

Ol<LAHOMA STATE UNIVER~JTY LIBRARY JAN ~O 1969 THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPACT OF THE PARKING 'METER BEFORE WORLD WAR II Thesis App roved : ii PREFACE The parking meter has been condemned or lauded by millions of motorists who have utilized its services. Few of these individuals have ever paused to consider urban life without it. Its development was not as spectacular as many other inventions, but it has influenced the lives of countless millions who have benefited from its services. When the first parking meters went into operation in Oklahoma City on a hot July day in 1935, few would have predicted how important the strange looking device would become in modern urban America. There were onlookers who compared it with a hitching post and predicted that it would not last. Others declared that it was an illegal infringement on their right to use public streets. Doubters did not comprehend its long-range effect on urban development and could not accept its immedi­ ate impact on their lives.
