Curb Management Tech Supplier Automotus Raises $9M

Automotus, a Los Angeles-based software company that sells curb management, traffic and associated payment technology, has raised $9 million in a new funding round. According to Jordan Justus, the company’s CEO and co-founder, the round includes $7.5 million in equity and $1.5 million in credit from a single investor. Total equity funding to date for the company, which traces its roots to 2017 while Justus and co-founder and CTO Harris Lummis were students at Loyola Marymount University, stands at $26 million, Justus said. This funding round included Santa Barbara Venture Partners, Weatherford Capital, BarronKent Ventures, Techstars Ventures, kineo, and other investors, according to a statement. Automotus offers a platform powered by computer vision that cities and airports can use to monitor and control traffic at curbs, including via data analytics and automated payments. The rise of ride hailing along with consumer dependence on retail deliveries help make curbside spaces increasingly busy. An example of the technology in use comes from Lincoln, Neb., where cameras provided by Automotus have helped officials craft parking policies for downtown. Automotus says it has deployed its tech in “dozens of markets across the country.” The fresh capital will go toward deeper product offerings, market expansion and customer support. “Cities and airports are under immense pressure to modernize the curb as commercial traffic surges and they’re forced to grapple with AVs,” Justus said. “This investment allows us to scale our impact and continue delivering technology that makes streets safer, more efficient and more sustainable.”

Wilkes-Barre Expands SafetySticks to Keep Safety-Critical Zones Clear

The City of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania is expanding its SafetyStick® program after a successful first year of automated parking enforcement in high-risk curbside locations. What began as a small deployment of 10 devices downtown has grown into one of Municipal Parking Services’ flagship SafetyStick® programs, with the city now operating 42 units and planning to add 20 more in the coming months. The initiative focuses on illegal parking that creates safety hazards rather than routine meter enforcement. SafetySticks monitor handicap spaces, bus stops, fire hydrants, corners, commercial loading zones and other restricted areas where blocked access can put people at risk or slow emergency response. Proven Results in the First Year In a little over a year of operation, Wilkes-Barre’s SafetyStick® program has generated 9,883 citations for parking violations, uncovering the true scale of unsafe, previously under-enforced activity at key locations. Over that same period, the city received $126,135 in revenue from citations issued through the SafetyStick® program. Just as important as the revenue, city leaders report that citation volumes in the earliest deployment zones have begun to drop as drivers change their behavior. Fewer violations in those original locations suggest that motorists are learning to avoid unsafe stopping and parking where SafetySticks are installed, even as new devices are added in other areas. Expanding to School-Adjacent Corridors As the program has grown, Wilkes-Barre has pushed beyond the downtown core to address additional safety priorities and annoyance parking. New SafetySticks are being installed along Old River Road near Kistler Elementary School, where vehicles were previously parking on grassy areas and blocking sight lines when children were arriving and leaving. “By extending automated enforcement to school-adjacent corridors, the city aims to keep pick-up and drop-off zones clear and reduce risky driver behavior during the busiest times of day for pedestrians,” said Robert Sliker, head of parking enforcement. “We have parking enforcement officers, but they can’t be everywhere,” Mayor George Brown said in a recent interview with FOX56. A Safety-First Model for Other Cities Wilkes-Barre’s experience shows how cities can pair automated enforcement with a clear safety narrative to build public understanding and long-term compliance. Key elements of the city’s approach include: Starting with obvious safety hazards such as hydrants, corners, handicap spaces and bus stops to demonstrate why enforcement is needed. Using solar-powered, AI-enabled devices to provide continuous monitoring without major capital projects or added staff. Framing the program as a public safety initiative that protects residents, schoolchildren and emergency responders rather than a purely revenue-driven effort. Expanding in phases as results, community awareness and internal comfort with the technology grow. With dozens of devices already delivering strong results and additional SafetySticks on the way, Wilkes-Barre has become a leading example of how automated enforcement can improve safety, strengthen compliance and support city budgets at the same time. About Municipal Parking Services (MPS) Municipal Parking Services Inc. (MPS) is a pioneer in AI-driven enforcement and compliance technologies.

Zevtron Introduces LumaCharge, a Breakthrough EV Charging System That Uses Existing Lighting Circuits to Dramatically Reduce Infrastructure Costs

Carlsbad, CA — Zevtron, a leading developer of hardware-agnostic, white-label EV charging and parking technology, announced LumaCharge, a transformative advancement in EV infrastructure design. The groundbreaking system deploys EV chargers using existing parking lot and parking structure lighting circuits, eliminating the need to install costly new EV infrastructure and offering considerable savings. The system, enabled by Zevtron’s patented USEV Smart Pedestal with built-in breakers, meets all applicable electrical code requirements. For years, the cost and complexity of installing new electrical infrastructure have been the biggest barriers to EV charging deployment. LumaCharge changes that. By safely drawing power from lighting circuits that now have significant spare capacity due to facility conversions from traditional lighting to high-efficiency LED fixtures, parking owners can install EV charging at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. “Across the country we see the same pattern: facilities upgraded to LED lighting now have substantial unused electrical capacity sitting in the lighting circuits,” said Bob Andrews, CEO of Zevtron. “Zevtron’s USEV patented Smart Pedestal is purpose-built to utilize that spare power safely and effectively, and the result is often 40–60% lower installation cost with dramatically faster deployment timelines.” At the heart of this breakthrough is Zevtron’s patented USEV Smart Pedestal, which includes an integrated, code-compliant breaker assembly. This means each pedestal can be connected directly to a lighting circuit without requiring a new dedicated breaker in the electrical room. The pedestal functions as a self-contained, stand-alone protective device, ensuring safe operation on circuits that were never originally designed for EV charging, yet now have ample capacity thanks to modern LED loads. A full energy analysis of the lighting circuit is required to determine compatibility, available capacity, and in turn, the number and size of chargers that can be deployed. “Nothing else in the market works like this,” said Chris McKenty, SVP of Sales & Marketing at Zevtron. “The pedestal’s built-in breaker gives owners the ability to deploy chargers almost anywhere lighting exists, while still meeting all safety and electrical-code requirements. It allows us to turn lighting infrastructure into EV infrastructure, simply and intelligently.” -more- Zevtron LumaCharge press release Because lighting circuits typically run to every row or group of stalls, lighting-fed charging is especially effective facilities offering long-stay or day rate parking, including, airport lots and structures, corporate campuses, municipal parking structures, university facilities, hotels, and event venues. These locations see vehicles parked for extended durations, making them perfect for steady, lower-power charging sourced from existing circuit capacity. Zevtron’s USEV Smart Pedestal allows each charger to be isolated, serviced, or swapped without affecting other chargers on the circuit, another differentiator that reduces downtime, reduces maintenance costs, and enables large-scale deployments without operational disruption. Zevtron LumaCharge is fully compatible with Zevtron’s OCPP/OCPI-compliant software platform, which fully supports: • Dynamic pricing • Driver authentication • Load balancing • PCI-compliant payment processing • Integration with parking access control and LPR systems “Our goal is to remove the infrastructure barrier,” Andrews added. “By using lighting circuits that already exist and by engineering a pedestal that eliminates the need for additional breakers, we’ve created a future-ready charging ecosystem that is cost-effective, scalable, and installation-friendly for any parking operator.” About Zevtron Zevtron is a leading national EV software and hardware provider based in Carlsbad, California. The company’s products and services are designed to provide flexibility, manageability, and profitability to building owners, institutions, and parking owners who offer EV charging. Zevtron is the only leading EV provider to integrate its technology with leading parking access and revenue control equipment for easy and convenient EV charging management, and its hardware agnostic software platform allows owners to keep 100% of EV charging revenues.
