EasyPark Group Unifies Under ‘Arrive’ to Build the World’s Leading Global Mobility Platform

EasyPark, Flowbird, Parkopedia, RingGo, and ParkMobile reveal its new corporate parent company and brand “Arrive”, with the shared vision to make cities more livable.  A new era for urban mobility has arrived. EasyPark Group, the leading provider of digital parking and mobility solutions, unveiled a new name and identity to better align with the company’s vision to make cities more livable. Arrive, the new company name, will replace EasyPark Group and Flowbird Group, and will be the overarching parent company for the consumer brands EasyPark, Flowbird, ParkMobile, Parkopedia, RingGo, Yellowbrick, YourParkingSpace and other brands within the organization. “I’m very excited to be able to celebrate the reveal of our company’s new name and brand Arrive,” said Cameron Clayton, CEO of Arrive. “Our exponential growth over the past 12 months, especially with the integration of Flowbird and Parkopedia, has dramatically expanded our scope of business and product offerings. We need a corporate structure and identity that mirrors our entire portfolio – moving beyond just parking.” Arrive is committed to empowering people and decision-makers to make better choices about urban mobility and ease the experience of travel. It’s the company’s mission to do this in as many cities as possible, regardless of size, location, or mobility maturity. Arrive believes mobility is about more than function, it’s about simplifying the experience of travel for everyone who lives in a city in an effort to make cities even more enjoyable to live in. “Arrive’s vision of making cities more livable is an inherited testament to the work EasyPark Group, Flowbird Group, and Parkopedia achieved individually over the last 20 years,” said Clayton. “We are building the world’s leading global mobility platform. We can’t do it alone, we can only do it together with cities, with riders and with drivers. Arrive is tomorrow’s mobility platform.” Building on EasyPark Group’s legacy, Arrive’s new visual identity draws inspiration from the dynamic energy of urban environments. The color palette and imagery were chosen to evoke optimism and clarity, featuring warm tones, blue skies, and light, airy compositions that convey a sense of possibility and forward momentum. The consumer brands and mobile apps, such as EasyPark, RingGo, ParkMobile, and Flowbird, will remain unaffected for the foreseeable future. Arrive will act as the predominant corporate body to the consumer brands.

The City of South Miami Swaps Parking Meters for Trees

Vancouver, Canada – The City of South Miami, Florida, announces it has signed up to Meters for Trees, the multi-award-winning tree planting initiative from PayByPhone, the global leader in mobile parking payments. Alfredo Riverol, Chief Financial Officer, the City of South Miami, says, “Meters for Trees is a meaningful and easy way for us to move toward an eco-friendlier future. Since removing all parking hardware in the City and encouraging mobile parking payments, Meters for Trees now ensures we are not only addressing air quality for South Miami but also supporting our own environmental goals through local tree planting.” PayByPhone, one of the parking payments providers for the City of South Miami since 2011, across its 27 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. Meters for Trees supports the City of South Miami in furthering its sustainability initiatives through the removal of parking hardware and the planting of trees while at the same time saving costs. The City of South Miami has already removed approximately 700 parking meters under Meters for Trees equating to 39 trees planted in Withlacoochee State Forest through PayByPhone’s partner, veritree, an organization that connects businesses with verified tree planting projects to elevate global reforestation. PayByPhone will also contribute $500 towards helping plant trees locally. 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. Additionally, mobile parking payments reduce costly compliance issues for the City by eliminating the need for expensive readers in the payment hardware and the need for vehicles to collect cash and to service parking meters and stations. In the City of South Miami, this equates to approximately 200 miles per year. Carmen Donnell, Managing Director North America for PayByPhone, says, “Welcoming the City of South Miami to our Meters for Trees campaign is a meaningful step toward building a greener tomorrow. We’re proud to work alongside partners who share our vision of sustainability and environmental stewardship, making it easy for parking operators to contribute to reforestation efforts.” 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 South Miami joins The City of Coral Gables, Florida, The City of Olympia, Washington, and The City of Allentown, Pennsylvania, who joined Meters for Trees in March 2025.

The IPMI Conference: A Familiar Ride with New Thrills

Every year, heading to the IPMI Conference feels a bit like getting in line for a roller coaster for me. There’s that initial moment—right before it all begins—where you wonder how it’s going to go. You’re excited, sure, but there’s also that quiet buzz of nerves in the background. Then you arrive. You start bumping into familiar faces—old friends, colleagues, people you’ve only seen through the computer screen for the past year. Conversations start flowing, and before you know it, you’re in the groove. The energy of the event takes over. You’re swapping ideas, learning from others, and soaking in the buzz of the expo floor where vendors are showing off new technology – and a tiny horse, did anyone see that too?! Just when you’re feeling fully at home, it’s time to present. The nerves creep back in—but this time, they’re different. You and your co-presenter step up, deliver your session, and walk away knowing you nailed it. That’s a high that’s hard to beat. The whole experience is a whirlwind—ups, downs, adrenaline, inspiration. It’s a reminder of why we do what we do. You leave feeling energized by the new connections, the fresh ideas, and the sense that you’re part of something bigger. Sure, there’s never enough time to see and do it all, but that’s part of the magic. We come together at IPMI not just to learn, but to grow—together. And every year, that ride is worth it.
