Indianapolis, IN — T2 Systems, a parking technology leader, announced that T2 PARCS (Parking Access and Revenue Control System) now supports the ID TECH VP6825 PCI P2PE (Payment Card Industry Point-to-Point Encryption) Validated Payment Solution. T2’s PARCS solution is powered by T2 Flex®, the industry-leading permit management and enforcement software platform. Flex is a highly configurable permit management tool that provides streamlined enforcement and citation management, access to real-time data and a suite of standard and customizable reports. Flex includes advanced PARCS capabilities for a unified parking management platform. Integrating the new ID TECH PCI P2PE solution with T2 PARCS delivers end-to-end encryption, faster processing speeds and mobile payment options like Google Pay® and Apple Pay®, enabling parking operators to process transactions more securely and efficiently while simplifying PCI compliance and protecting their future revenue systems. Considered the industry gold standard, PCI P2PE encrypts sensitive credit card data from the point of payment until it is decrypted by the service provider, significantly reducing the scope of a business’s PCI compliance. The new solution supports contactless, chip and magstripe payments. “Integrating ID TECH’s validated PCI P2PE trusted payment technology with T2 PARCS protects every tap, dip and swipe to future-proof parking operations with trusted payment technology,” said Matt Howard, Vice President, Product, T2 Systems. “Operators can move vehicles through lanes faster, reduce compliance overhead and offer the seamless payment experiences their parkers expect.” Proven customer success The Lancaster Parking Authority (LPA) in Lancaster, PA, recently consolidated four different PARC vendors’ systems across seven garages into one T2 PARCS solution with T2 Flex® for permit and enforcement for monthly parkers and off-street violations. LPA benefits from having a single parking technology vendor for off-street parking: one vendor, one account manager and streamlined processes. “Since implementing T2 PARCS with ID TECH’s encrypted PCI P2PE solution, we’ve seen a dramatic improvement in security and efficiency,” said Ibrahim Aman, Deputy Executive Director of LPA. “Processing over 165,000 transactions in just a few months with faster throughput and seamless reconciliation proves that our parkers trust this solution and gives us a future-proof investment for tomorrow’s parking requirements.” With T2, LPA efficiently oversees a parking inventory of approximately 1,200 on-street spaces, seven off-street garages with approximately 4,500 spaces, four lots with about 190 and about 1,000 metered spaces. Key benefits for parking operators Security That Scales: PCI P2PE v3.1 validation delivers the highest level of payment protection and simplifies compliance. Frictionless Operations: Faster processing speeds reduce congestion; robust offline capabilities keep lanes moving even during network interruptions; automated API reconciliation streamlines back-office workflows. Modern Payment Choice: Supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, EMV chip + PIN, magstripe, barcodes/QR, and open/closed loop cards, all with contactless-first functionality and extended read range. Future-Ready Investment: Outdoor-rated Level 6 EMV P2PE hardware supported until April 30, 2032.

As we close out our second consecutive year of over 100% year-over-year growth, we continue to hear from clients that the ability to drive ROI and offer flexibility in business models to accommodate any budget is a key reason they are adopting our Hardware-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service offerings.” The integration process is already underway and ParkHelp occupancy data is already available in the Cleverciti platform for existing mutual clients. Existing ParkHelp and Cleverciti clients can expect uninterrupted service and support, with new integration options enhancing the value of existing deployments. Cleverciti becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParkHelp and the entire Cleverciti team will remain in place following the acquisition, ensuring continuity for clients and partners. The combined company will continue to grow globally, investing in product innovation, AI development, and operational scalability. This continuity underscores the strong cultural, technical, and strategic alignment between the two organizations. Cleverciti was advised by TrueNorth Capital Partners and DLA Piper.

500 EV Chargers and Counting! Drivers across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area now have 500 reasons to feel confident about going electric. In less than three years, we’ve grown from 8 chargers in January 2023 to Canada’s largest municipally owned EV charging network. And this week, with our partners in this initiative Toronto Hydro and City of Toronto (Environment, Climate & Forestry) we celebrated a proud milestone with the inauguration of our 500th charger at 9 Willingdon Blvd - Green P Carpark 504. Every new charger isn’t just hardware, it’s a promise to provide choice, ease, and speed to EV drivers: Choice to charge where and when it works best for your journey without range anxiety. Ease for city residents who don't have access to home charging but still want to drive electric. Speed and momentum toward a cleaner, connected Toronto where sustainable mobility options are transforming how people move. “As an avid and appreciative user of the Green P EV charging network, I can honestly not overstate the importance of this infrastructure. Without the prevalence of the Green P charging network, owning an EV in Toronto would be a very challenging prospect for people like me who can’t charge at home. As a consumer who is personally committed to lowering their carbon footprint, but also trying to balance expenses, I greatly appreciate the Green P network, and their commitment to EV charging accessibility and affordability. Thank you, Green P!” - Jeff McConnell, Green P EV Customer. This milestone reflects how far we’ve come and how much further we’ll go together. "Our mission is clear: to create a seamless mobility experience that delivers on Choice, Ease, and Speed for our customers. Purposeful expansion of our EV network is a catalyst for EV adoption across Toronto by creating accessible, reliable, and trusted charging solutions for city residents. This milestone also reflects our passion to advance the City’s TransformTO Net Zero Strategy by building a more sustainable and integrated mobility eco-system to keep Toronto moving." - Scott Collier, President, Toronto Parking Authority. The expansion of our network has been possible through partners who have worked with us every step of the way. “Reaching 500 energized EV charging stations is a testament to what strong partnerships can achieve. Toronto Hydro is proud to have helped build the foundation for this growing network and to support the city’s broader electrification efforts.” - Jana Mosley, President & CEO, Toronto Hydro This milestone drives us to keep delivering EV charging services that accelerate adoption.  Together, we’re building a future of sustainable mobility: powered by Choice. Ease. Speed.

Park Loyalty has expanded its footprint in the transit sector with the launch of Enforce Pro and Process Pro at seven Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) commuter parking locations. The LIRR is the busiest commuter railroad in North America, transporting nearly 250,000 passengers every weekday. For many riders, the journey begins and ends in a commuter lot, placing great importance on efficient and connected parking management in creating a convenient travel experience. Smart Enforcement Designed for Transit Agencies This deployment reflects Park Loyalty’s continued ability to deliver omnichannel enforcement solutions that adapt to any type of parking agency, from municipalities to universities, operators, and major transit authorities. It also builds on Park Loyalty’s work with another leading transit authority, SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority), where our enforcement system has already helped streamline their parking operation. [SEPTA case study] As part of the LIRR rollout, Park Loyalty introduced an additional way to validate vehicles: in addition to license plate recognition, Enforce Pro can now scan the New York State registration stickers that are displayed on every windshield. This feature provides multiple options for compliance validation, while also auto-populating detailed vehicle information such as make, model, color, and VIN, adding speed and accuracy to the enforcement process. The deployment also integrates with T2 Systems meters and Parking Base for permits and scan-to-pay, providing a connected ecosystem that simplifies operations for the LIRR and improves the parking experience for commuters. Park Loyalty thanks the Long Island Rail Road and our integration partners for their collaboration on this successful launch, which underscores our role as a trusted partner in delivering smart enforcement and processing solutions across the parking industry.
