Sarasota, FL – In partnership with Passport, the City of Sarasota, Florida, upgrades its existing system to Passport’s parking compliance platform as a two-phased project. Starting today, for Phase I, the city is introducing enforcement, license plate recognition (LPR), and permitting solutions. The city is also introducing Passport’s meter and paystation processing, unifying physical and digital transactions into Passport’s centralized software suite.

Los Angeles, CA — Ocra, the leading provider of parking revenue management software, announces the appointment of Chris Elliston as Chief Revenue Officer. Elliston joins the company at a pivotal moment of rapid growth, bringing a wealth of experience in scaling businesses and leading high-performing teams within the parking and technology sectors. Elliston most recently served as Chief Revenue Officer at ParkHub (now JustPark), where he helped lead the company to national prominence over his eight-year tenure. In his new role, Elliston will oversee Ocra's revenue-generating functions – including sales, partnerships, and client success – with a focus on sustainable growth. As the company continues its upward trajectory, Elliston will play a key role in expanding Ocra's market presence and advancing its mission to serve as a trusted, vendor-neutral partner – what the company calls the "Switzerland" of the parking industry. “This is unequivocally the best time in Ocra’s history,” says Ethan Glass, CEO & Co-Founder, “and Chris Elliston is the perfect person to take us to the next level. We’re very excited to welcome him to our team. For years, I've personally known him to be an innovator and a tremendous leader. He has ‘seen the movie before’ and is uniquely qualified to execute on Ocra’s potential." “It's clear to me that Ocra is a company with enormous potential to transform not just the parking industry, but adjacent industries as well,” says Elliston. "Parking is a high-margin revenue stream that, when optimized, has a significant impact on the bottom line for asset owners. I look forward to helping the Ocra team uplevel their offerings and grow their footprint." Prior to his parking career, Elliston has held senior leadership positions in the corporate training and e-learning space, including at Skillsoft Corporation and NYSE. Outside of work, he serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Episcopal School of Dallas and is an active supporter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Texas. About Ocra Founded in 2019, Ocra partners with parking operators and technology companies to help asset owners optimize the yield of their parking assets and drive higher net operating income (NOI). Its omni-channel management software empowers operators to centrally control rates and inventory across multiple parking consumer demand channels – also called "aggregators" or "parking OTAs" – and view sophisticated real-time reporting for their entire online business in one place. In 2023, Ocra launched their revenue optimization division, Ocra CoPilot, for a sophisticated, data-driven approach to rates and inventory management for parking assets, providing an “eyes in the sky” approach for the “boots on the ground” team to achieve optimal yield. Today, Ocra works with 50+ parking operators and 20+ hotel management groups at 500+ locations across North America. In the hotel sector alone, Ocra has generated $12.3m in incremental revenue at 45+ locations in the past 6 months (October 2024–April 2025) by selling underutilized parking inventory to non-guest customers. The company has raised $5m to date, most recently in an oversubscribed $3.5m round of strategic industry backers co-led by MCR and Parker Technology.

LONDON, UK – JustPark, the UK’s leading parking app, is to become the official parking partner of The O2 in London. The new multi-year partnership is the first of its kind between an event operator and parking company in the UK. The aim is to deliver an industry-leading parking experience for The O2’s 10 million-plus annual visitors, with new solutions designed to enhance both accessibility and flexibility in booking parking at one of the world’s most popular venues. New research* that polled thousands of drivers on their experiences when driving to ticketed events nationwide, revealed that up to 87% of fans can be deterred from driving to occasions such as football matches, theatre performances or gigs. JustPark’s partnership with The O2 aims to ensure visitors to the London destination are not impacted by such concerns, delivering a flagship approach to event parking solutions for the UK. It also represents a major evolution of JustPark’s popular consumer app, expanding its support to venues and landmark event destinations. The research lays bare just how stressful finding event parking can be for drivers, and underscores the need for reliable and smarter parking options:  84% said parking stress has negatively impacted an event experience previously. Over half (56%) have left events early due to parking issues. 48% reported spending over 30 minutes searching for a space at a ticketed event. Anthony Eskinazi, Founder and President of JustPark said: “Parking for events should be simple and stress-free. Too often though, it’s the most frustrating part of the journey. JustPark’s technology changes that, making parking effortless, so visitors can focus on having a good time when they arrive.” “Partnering with The O2, the world's most popular live entertainment, leisure, and retail destination, is the perfect way to launch the new phase of our business and help destinations across the UK to modernise and bring parking in line with increased visitor expectations.” The collaboration reflects The O2’s commitment to ensuring every visitor has the best possible experience from the moment they arrive at the venue. JustPark will be introducing a range of new easy-to-use parking solutions for all The O2’s visitors, including daily and event specific reservable options and on-arrival, cashless parking. The O2 will benefit from JustPark technology and insights, helping them to make best use of their parking spaces in real time. "Parking and transport are essential parts of the visitor experience at The O2, and we are always looking for ways to improve accessibility and convenience for all our guests.” Said Nathan Kosky, VP Europe, Global Partnerships at AEG. "In partnering with JustPark and making full use of their customer-first technology, we are able to understand so much more about our visitors and integrate a range of different parking solutions that will make it easier than ever for attendees to drive, park and enjoy their visit.” In addition to improving the visitor journey, the partnership will elevate JustPark’s brand presence at The O2, reinforcing its role as a key supporter of the UK events industry. In April 2024, JustPark merged with ParkHub, the leading North American provider of event parking technology, which has since rebranded under the JustPark name. Today, JustPark operates at over 450 locations across the US, servicing 70% of US professional sports teams at some of its most trafficked venues, parking more than 40 million cars each year. Now, JustPark is applying that experience to revolutionise the UK event parking sector, ensuring fans can focus on the moments that matter with a frustration-free parking experience. *JustPark surveyed 3,100 drivers in April 2025 Solutions being introduced from JustPark to The O2 include: JustPark Reservations: Pre-booking will be offered to all visitors to The O2, meaning for the first time non-event visitors coming to shop at Outlet Shopping at The O2 or dine at the venue’s entertainment district can also reserve parking. EventPass: Event attendees can pre-book parking in advance through EventPass, a dynamic reservation platform that ensures guaranteed parking, eliminating stress. JustPark On-demand: For those arriving without a reservation, flexible, on-the-day parking, can be booked via the JustPark app. Overflow parking solutions: Should full capacity be reached in The O2 on-site parking, a seamless solution will enable visitors to quickly find and book nearby spaces available on the JustPark app. For more information, please contact:  Sarah Jackson  M: +44(0) 7306 256 148  E: media@justpark.com About JustPark   JustPark is reshaping the parking industry with faster, smarter solutions for drivers and destinations.

London, UK / Atlanta, US - Following the acquisition of Parkopedia by EasyPark Group and the expansion of the Group’s service portfolio, sister brand ParkMobile will launch as an eMobility Service Provider (eMSP) in North America. The EV charging service will be powered by Parkopedia, complementing ParkMobile’s existing parking platform and further enhancing its mobility offering. ParkMobile’s existing 65 million user base and market-leading smart parking and mobility platform will enable closer cooperation with Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and fleet providers operating in North America to offer a seamless EV charging and payment experience via in-vehicle headunits and the ParkMobile app. The new eMSP will leverage Parkopedia’s extensive experience in EV charging services and market-leader position for global in-car payments to create immersive EV charging payment experiences and additional opportunities for CPOs, aggregators and MSPs. This move will also support the ability to orchestrate transactions in future, offering greater added value to both drivers and fleet managers, while enabling OEMs to provide desirable premium EV charging services to their customers. This new offering will create the most accurate and convenient eMSP in North America, enabling ParkMobile customers to use their pre-existing accounts to not only park but also charge - something which is becoming increasingly important as EV adoption accelerates around the world. Unique driver experiences will be facilitated by the combination of Parkopedia’s auto-grade data products and ParkMobile’s sophisticated payment functionality. Once live, fleet customers will benefit from being able to access new EV fleet capabilities from within their existing fleet management solution, ensuring greater convenience and efficiency. Benefits for consumers This new functionality will enable ParkMobile customers to pay for parking and charging via a single solution. Not only does this provide convenience to drivers, but it also helps drivers to find the cheapest available charging sessions, regardless of provider, via multi-contract plug and charge capabilities. Research shows that many drivers are frustrated by having to rely on multiple systems to access services and want convenient unified platforms, with 97% of US participants in the 2025 In-Car Payments User Experience Report stating that they would value being able to access multiple in-car payment services (eg. parking, fuelling/EV charging etc.) through one platform. Nearly all US participants (97%) also said that in-car payment functionality would improve their driving experience, showing that integrated connected car services are becoming a more important selling point for new car buyers. Benefits for fleet managers The new solution will seamlessly integrate into existing fleet management systems, offering businesses greater convenience and helping them to reduce their operational costs thanks to intelligent route optimization and improved vehicle utilization by enabling fleets to find and access the cheapest charging options across multiple MSPs and CPOs thanks to Parkopedia’s developed multi-contract Plug & Charge solution and tariff transparency. Not only does this enable better cost control, but it also reduces the complexity of invoice management by combining parking and charging costs into one invoice. It also ensures more efficient use of fleet vehicles, improving vehicle utilization by incorporating EV charging into daily route planning. This is particularly important as the cost of public charging can vary dramatically and the benefit of reduced fuelling costs by moving from ICE vehicles to EVs is only possible if fleets charge intelligently and avoid costly charging locations and providers - some of which can cost more to charge than an equivalent amount of gas would for an ICE vehicle. Meanwhile, fleet drivers will benefit from reduced time needed to find public chargers, thanks to accurate data, including real-time availability information. In addition, having access to this functionality through the head unit of the vehicle offers greater convenience to drivers, with the option for them to view this information on mobile devices, if desired. Highlighting the value of this new eMSP, Duncan Licence, Chief Product Officer, at Parkopedia, said: “This new eMSP service will offer significant value to drivers, fleets and OEMs, by combining the value of our extensive parking and charging data with in-car transactions and making this easily accessible to more than 65 million existing ParkMobile customers. We know drivers value being able to access their driving-related services in one platform, with confidence in utilizing the best available tariffs to charge, and in-car payments becoming increasingly demanded by drivers, with this new eMSP offering covering all this and more.” Scott Booker, General Manager of Parking at EasyPark Group, parent company of ParkMobile, stated: “ParkMobile is committed to expanding direct integrations with a growing network of CPOs to deliver a seamless, high-quality experience for drivers, fleets, and OEMs. The announcement of our new eMSP service represents a significant step forward in our ability to provide added value to our customers—particularly as EV adoption accelerates and demand for frictionless charging solutions continues to rise.” About Parkopedia Parkopedia, acquired by EasyPark Group in early 2025, is the leading connected car services provider used by automakers, organisations and millions of drivers around the world.
