Welcome to the IPMI Community.

Ball Arena, in partnership with Flash, announced the launch of Denver’s single largest electric vehicle charging installation. The new public EV charging hub at Kroenke Sports & Entertainment’s home of the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Mammoth is up and running with 60 total charging ports now available to fans during games and events. “This EV charging hub and our partnership with Flash exemplifies our commitment to sustainability, enhancing the fan experience, and supporting our community,” said Matt Bell, Senior Vice President of Venue Operations at Ball Arena. “It represents the kinds of community amenities and infrastructure we envision for the area with our redevelopment plan and the sustainable mobility alternatives we need to support the parks, open space, and density the plan calls for.” Located in Ball Arena’s Camry South Lot, the new expansive charging hub represents a significant milestone for expanding Denver’s EV infrastructure. The installation comes as Colorado’s accelerating EV adoption broke records late last year, with 5,200 charging stations currently serving the state’s growing community of EV drivers. “As we re-imagine our existing surface parking lots to create a truly vibrant urban experience, initiatives like this charging hub show how we’re not only transforming individual lots, but also facilitating a connected downtown ecosystem that serves our fans and our broader Denver community,” Bell said. Starting this summer, the charging hub will serve both event attendees and the broader Denver community, with public access available during the 250 events Ball Arena typically hosts throughout the year. Over time, the hub will form part of Ball Arena’s broader development strategy to include enhanced community mobility, access to transit, a local shuttle system, and more and better pedestrian connections. Strategically located at Speer Boulevard and Auraria Parkway, with convenient access to Interstate 25 and nearby light rail service, the Arena is positioned at the intersection of several major connections through downtown Denver. “Denver is embracing the future of transportation, and Ball Arena is setting the standard for how entertainment venues can support that transition,” said Matt McCaffree, Vice President and General Manager at Flash. “Our partnership delivers a secure, reliable, and seamless charging experience that fans and community members will expect from one of Denver’s premier destinations.” The 60 Level 2 charging port hub is now operational and open for use to EV drivers.

Vancouver, Canada – The City of Pompano Beach has signed up to Meters for Trees, the multi-award-winning tree planting initiative from PayByPhone, the global leader in mobile parking payments, effective immediately. Jeff Lantz, Parking Manager, the City of Pompano Beach, says, “Meters for Trees is a meaningful and easy way for us to move toward an eco-friendlier future by ensuring we are not only addressing air quality for our residents and visitors but also supporting our own environment through local tree planting.” PayByPhone, a parking payments provider for the City of Pompano Beach since 2021, across its nine on- and off-street parking locations, first launched Meters for Trees in the UK in 2019, as part of its broader environmental campaigns including Green December. These initiatives help forward-thinking cities, universities, and parking operators reduce their costly parking hardware as they opt for a mobile app-based parking service. Over the past five years, PayByPhone’s environmental campaigns have collectively planted over 225,000 trees globally. Under the terms of Meters for Trees, PayByPhone will plant one tree for every multi-space pay station and for every ten single space parking meters that are removed in the City of Pompano Beach, totaling 11 trees, in 2025. Trees will be planted in Withlacoochee State Forest, through PayByPhone’s partner, veritree, an organization that connects businesses with verified tree planting projects to elevate global reforestation. Meters for Trees supports the City of Pompano Beach in furthering its sustainability initiatives by removing parking hardware and planting trees while at the same time saving costs. By removing payment hardware and planting trees, CO₂ is absorbed by each newly planted tree as it grows, directly benefitting the local environment through carbon footprint reduction as CO₂ is sequestered from the atmosphere. Digital parking payments also eliminate the need for cash collection vehicles that would be emitting harmful tailpipe gasses as well as reduce costly compliance issues for the City with expensive card readers in the payment hardware. Carmen Donnell, Managing Director North America for PayByPhone, says, “We’re proud to work alongside partners like the City of Pompano Beach who share our vision of sustainability and environmental stewardship. In welcoming the City to our Meters for Trees campaign, we are making a meaningful step toward building a greener tomorrow.” Meters for Trees is a multi-award-winning initiative, having won 12 international awards, including a Global Gold Award at the 2019 Green World Environment Awards in the Carbon Reduction and Local Authorities categories, the Green Champion Award in Carbon Reduction at the 2019 Green Apple Environment Awards, and the Environmental Initiative Award at the 2020 SEAL Business Sustainability Awards. The City of Pompano joins The City of South Miami and The City of Coral Gables, Florida, The City of Olympia, Washington, and The City of Allentown, Pennsylvania, who joined Meters for Trees in 2025.
