JustPark Announces Exclusive Partnership with The O2 to Elevate Visitor Experience

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.

EV Charging a car, Parkopedia and ParkMobile Logos

Parkopedia and ParkMobile to Launch US eMSP Service

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. Parkopedia helps drivers find and pay for parking, EV charging, fuel and tolls across 90 countries.

Sacramento Leads the Nation with First-Ever Bus-Mounted Technology for Automated Bike Lane Enforcement

Sacramento, CA – The City of Sacramento and Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) are partnering to launch automated bike lane enforcement, making Sacramento the first city in California – and in the United States – to enforce bike lanes using technology installed on transit buses. This initiative expands upon SacRT’s automated bus stop enforcement program, which currently equips 100 SacRT buses with camera systems to identify and report vehicles illegally parked along bus stops. Now, that same technology will also target illegal parking in bike lanes — a move by the City of Sacramento to protect vulnerable road users and improve roadway safety citywide. Why this program is essential When vehicles park illegally in bike lanes, cyclists are forced into traffic, putting them at greater risk of serious injury or worse. By keeping bike lanes clear, this program enhances safety and predictability for everyone on the road — whether they are walking, biking, driving, or riding transit. How this program works One hundred SacRT buses are equipped with front-facing cameras powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) from Hayden AI. These cameras detect and record instances of illegal parking in Sacramento bus stops and bike lanes. When a violation occurs, the system captures a short video and a photo of the vehicle’s license plate, and the exact time and location of the incident. This information is then sent to the City of Sacramento for review and violation processing. As of Monday, April 14, 2025, drivers illegally parked in Sacramento bike lanes will receive warning notices in the mail. Violations with an accompanying fine will be issued starting Friday, June 13, 2025. This program is made possible by Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361), which authorizes California cities to use forward-facing cameras for enforcing parking violations in bike lanes and transit zones — a vital legislative step toward making streets safer for everyone. Key details for drivers: Notification start date: Monday, April 14, 2025, began a 60-day grace warning period. Violation start date: Violations with fines will be issued starting Friday, June 13, 2025. Violation process: If a vehicle is detected obstructing a bike lane, a parking violation will be mailed to the registered owner. “We’re proud to be the first city in the country to use this technology to help keep our bike lanes clear,” said Staci Hovermale, Parking Services Manager for the City of Sacramento. “This tool helps us enforce existing parking rules more effectively, improving safety for cyclists and ensuring everyone shares the road responsibly.” “Keeping bike lanes clear is an important part of making Sacramento a place where everyone can thrive,” said SacRT General Manager/CEO Henry Li. “This program will help improve safety and travel times for everyone on Sacramento roads, no matter how you travel around.” California-based Hayden AI is providing the automated bus stop and bike lane enforcement camera systems for SacRT buses, and Duncan Solutions is providing the violation processing software. All evidence packages of parking violations detected by the camera systems are reviewed and ultimately approved or rejected by parking enforcement officers with the City of Sacramento. “We’re honored to support Sacramento in leading the way for bike lane safety,” said Lisa Schule, Executive Chairwoman of Hayden AI. “Using AI technology to protect bike lanes is a transformative shift for urban mobility and safety.”
