Powering Choice, Ease, and Speed: Green P Celebrates its 500th EV Charger

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 Expands Transit Portfolio with Long Island Rail Road Deployment

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.

Brooke Krieger Drops “Mobility Fever Dream” — A Concept Album for the Parking and Mobility World

The parking and mobility industry has never had a soundtrack—until now. Mobility Fever Dream, the debut concept album by Brooke Krieger, drops October 24, 2025, on all major streaming platforms. Created as a cultural time capsule, the album transforms the language, challenges, and humor of modern mobility into a fast-paced, satirical, and surprisingly human musical experience. Divided into four acts, Mobility Fever Dream explores everything from the relentless pace of conferences and RFP cycles to the tech-fueled evolution of AI, EV, and AV integration in our cities. The sound stretches across pop, hip-hop, country, and even K-pop—because the mobility space, like the album, refuses to fit neatly into one category. “This project started as a joke between colleagues about how wild our industry has become,” says Krieger. “But the more I thought about it, the more I realized: the mobility industry is art in motion. It deserves to be heard as much as it’s seen.” A Four-Act Journey Through the Industry’s Chaos With track titles like “Buyout Season,” “The Parking King (RIP Donald Shoup),” “Curbside Hero,” and “Free Parking? Babe, That’s So 2003,” the album blends wit and insight—offering a rhythm-driven reflection on automation, open-market innovation, and the culture of parking itself. Each act mirrors a stage of the industry’s evolution: Act I: The Fever Dream — The nonstop world of trade shows, funding rounds, and caffeine-fueled innovation. Act II: The Streets — Where policy, enforcement, and the human side of parking collide. Act III: The System Reloads — Technology, apps, and automation take center stage. Act IV: The Vision — A nod to the future we’re building—connected, autonomous, and a little bit chaotic. And as a bonus track, the album closes where it all began: “Artificial Intention”—a sultry nod to our industry’s collective fascination with artificial intelligence and automation. Satire, Sound, and the Soul of a Sector Released under Curb Culture Media, Mobility Fever Dream isn’t just an album—it’s a mirror. It celebrates the dreamers, engineers, planners, operators, and innovators who make cities more livable every day. “I wanted to create something that makes people in this space laugh, nod, and think, ‘Yep, that’s us,’” says Krieger. “Because behind every citation, every app, every RFP—there’s a story worth singing.” Mobility Fever Dream challenges how we talk about mobility, reminding us that the future isn’t just about infrastructure—it’s about imagination.

Rezcomm Earns Top Cybersecurity Accreditation Equivalent to U.S. NIST Standards, Setting a New Benchmark for Airport Marketplaces

Rezcomm has achieved a cybersecurity accreditation equivalent to the U.S. Department of Defense’s NIST SP 800-171 Level 2 Lite standard, through the UK government’s Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) certification. This independent verification confirms Rezcomm’s commitment to protecting client data and securing airport systems worldwide. Rezcomm is the only airport marketplace supplier with this level of accreditation. A crucial milestone in an era where the aviation industry faces mounting cybersecurity threats. A higher standard in a high-risk sector Cyber threats targeting airports are growing more frequent and more sophisticated. From ransomware attacks that ground flights to breaches that expose sensitive customer data, the aviation and wider mobility sector is now a frontline target. Yet many suppliers in this space still treat cybersecurity as a back-office function. Rezcomm takes a different view. Security is embedded into the core of our platform - from customer transactions and reservation flows to CRM, marketing, and analytics. With CE+ now in place, we can prove that commitment goes far beyond policy. Our systems have been independently audited and technically verified, including simulated real-world attack scenarios. This isn’t a checkbox exercise. It’s a rigorous review of how we protect our platform, our clients, and their passengers. What is Cyber Essentials Plus? Cyber Essentials Plus is governed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) - part of GCHQ, the UK equivalent of the National Security Agency (NSA).. Unlike basic certification, which is self-assessed, CE+ requires: Independent audits of systems, users, and devices Penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks Full validation of patching, firewall, and antivirus controls End-to-end reviews of live environments, not just admin machines CE+ represents the same level of assurance required by UK defense contractors and government departments. It aligns with NIST SP 800-171 Level 2 Lite, ensuring Rezcomm’s practices meet rigorous U.S. cybersecurity standards. The certification is also recognized by national frameworks in Canada and Singapore, underscoring its global credibility. Why it matters As airports digitize more operations, the risk surface expands. Cyberattacks can disrupt services, compromise revenue, and erode public trust. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have both issued new directives calling for stronger cybersecurity resilience across airport systems. Rezcomm’s CE+ certification offers equivalent assurance to those standards. Our systems have been stress-tested against real-world attack scenarios, setting a new benchmark for digital commerce platforms in transport and aviation. The importance of this approach is underscored by ACI EUROPE’s recently published penetration testing guidelines for operational technology and industrial control systems in airports. While ACI EUROPE’s new framework focuses on operational systems such as baggage handling and airfield lighting, the philosophy is the same: proactive, structured testing. Rezcomm applies that same discipline to the airport’s digital commerce layer, backed by Cyber Essentials Pus certification. A word from our DPO “Cybersecurity isn’t just a technical requirement; it’s a foundation of trust. CE+ demonstrates that Rezcomm goes beyond checkbox compliance, it shows independent validation that our defenses protect airports, operators, and passengers. As U.S. and European agencies push for stronger resilience testing, Rezcomm is leading by example.” — Gio Wallace, Data Protection Officer, Rezcomm What this means for our clients, partners, and the industry For airport clients: You gain a technology partner that meets the highest standards of cyber resilience - reducing your risk, ensuring compliance, and strengthening public trust in your digital services. For partners and integrators: CE+ confirms our systems are secure by design, making integrations more reliable and supporting secure data flows across complex vendor ecosystems. For the aviation industry: Rezcomm sets a new benchmark. As digital transformation accelerates, security must keep pace. Our CE+ certification shows it’s possible to combine innovation with integrity, without compromise. About Rezcomm Your customers expect joined-up services. With Rezcomm Marketplace, your platform delivers exactly that: seamless, personalized experiences across digital and physical touchpoints. Originally built for airports, Rezcomm now powers travel hubs of all kinds. Our modular, AI-driven platform combines ecommerce, CRM, reservations, BI, and marketing. By giving organizations full data ownership and rich predictive analytics, Rezcomm helps them personalize every interaction, automate operations, and unlock new revenue at scale. Rezcomm supports clients globally and holds industry-leading certifications, including PCI DSS Level 1 Version 4.0 and Cyber Essentials Plus. Learn more at rezcomm.com.

Bangor Clears $9,000 in Unpaid Parking Fines

This summer, starting July 1st, the City of Bangor, Maine, launched a parking ticket amnesty program allowing overdue fines to be paid without late fees. The program came ahead of the introduction of The Barnacle, a new windshield-mounted enforcement device designed to replace traditional boots. By the end of the month, more than $9,000 in unpaid parking tickets were resolved, demonstrating the success of a program built on fairness and equity.[1][2] A CLEAN SLATE: THE AMNESTY PROGRAM Recognizing that past violations can snowball into burdensome penalties, Bangor’s July amnesty initiative allowed residents with violations over 30 days old to pay only the original fine, waiving late fees and doubled penalties.[2] To ensure residents knew about the opportunity, the city launched a broad publicity campaign that included announcements on local TV and radio stations, social media posts, updates on the city’s website, and signage in municipal garages and downtown areas. This outreach helped spread the word quickly, encouraging compliance, giving people a fresh start, and generating strong community engagement.[3] THE NEXT CHAPTER IN PARKING COMPLIANCE With the amnesty program wrapping up, Bangor prepared to roll out Barnacle devices for ongoing enforcement. Replacing the traditional wheel boot, the Barnacle attaches to a vehicle’s windshield, making it immediately visible and unsafe to drive until resolved. Drivers receive clear instructions for fast, convenient payment and self-removal.[2][4] “The beginning of August, we are launching what’s called the Barnacle, and the Barnacle is what used to be the boot on a car. So instead of on a tire, it’s going to be on the windshield. And so we wanted people to kind of get their ducks in a row in terms of parking so that they don’t have to receive the Barnacle and we wanted to kind of have that time to be able to explain what the Barnacle is,” said Biguita Hernandez-Smith, Economic Development Officer for the City of Bangor.[3] This approach ensures compliance while minimizing disruption, damage, and wait times. PARTNERSHIPS DRIVING SUCCESS  Bangor’s Business & Economic Development Committee emphasized that this success comes from strong collaboration across departments—from finance to code enforcement. Pairing digital tools like the ParkMobile app, a fair forgiveness program, and Barnacle enforcement is helping the city deliver on its promise to make downtown parking easier, more accessible, and more efficient.[5] SETTING A MODEL FOR OTHER CITIES Bangor’s early results show how cities can pairBst compliance and trust. By recovering thousands in unpaid tickets while giving drivers a path to catch up, Bangor is setting an example for other municipalities facing similar challenges.  Watch the Full News Story [6] Sources: Bangor Daily News (September 5, 2025). “Bangor recouped $9K in unpaid parking tickets after threatening to use the ‘Barnacle’.” Bangor Daily News.

Bethlehem Parking Authority & Cleverciti Expand Partnership With On-Street Detection, Guided Enforcement & Digital Signage for Wayfinding

Bethlehem, PA — Following the success of its curb management pilot project with Cleverciti, the Bethlehem Parking Authority (BPA) is taking the next step. The two organizations have now extended their partnership to roll out on-street detection, increased enforcement efficiencies, and digital signage for wayfinding—strengthening Bethlehem’s efforts to manage curb usage, traffic flow, parking compliance and the overall mobility experience. Building on a Strong Foundation Earlier this year, BPA and Cleverciti launched a pilot project using Cleverciti’s AI-powered aerial sensors to monitor offstreet availability, occupancy, turnover and compliance in Bethlehem. This pilot has already delivered valuable real-time data, enabling smarter decisions on parking operations. That foundation has proven the value of data-driven curb management for Bethlehem, and now the stakes are rising: to make all of parking more responsive, compliant, and navigable. What’s New: On-Street Detection & Guided Enforcement Under the expanded scope: On-Street Detection: Additional sensors will be deployed along selected streets and to detect when vehicles are occupying curb zones. These will not only monitor if a space is in use, but also capture metadata around duration, turnover, and unauthorized uses (e.g. overstay, loading vs. passenger drop-off vs. parking). Enforcement Efficiencies: With more precise detection data, the BPA can guide enforcement practices toward the broader goal of achieving compliance rather than issuing tickets. Automated alerts will notify officers when violations occur, allowing for more efficient responses. Over time, as patterns of misuse are revealed through data, enforcement strategies can become even more efficient and proactive, reducing the need for ticketing while increasing overall compliance. Wayfinding via Digital Signage One of the most visible changes will be the addition of digital signage across key entry points and thoroughfares: Signs installed at strategic locations will display real-time curb and space availability, guiding drivers toward available areas. The signage will also help with wayfinding: showing directions to nearby parking resources, loading zones, special event zones, or accessible parking. The aim is to reduce cruising, congestion, and emissions caused by drivers circling in search of parking, while sharing impactful information with the community and improving the predictability and experience of arriving in downtown and event areas. Expected Impacts & Benefits: Benefit - What It Means for Bethlehem Improved Compliance / Reduced Violations - Guided enforcement fueled by accurate, real-time detection means fewer illegally parked vehicles, overstays, or misuse of special curb zones. Reduced Traffic Congestion - With wayfinding and visible guidance, drivers waste less time circling, freeing up curb space and easing flow. Better Use of Curb Assets - Data will reveal where curb space is under-utilized or misused, allowing BPA to reallocate, redesign, or manage zones dynamically. Enhanced User Experience - Residents, visitors, delivery drivers, and businesses benefit from clearer information, more reliable parking, and easier navigation. Environmental & Operational Efficiency - Less idling, smarter routing, and more efficient enforcement reduce emissions and minimize overtime or inefficient staff deployment. “These solutions mark another important step in our commitment to providing innovative, data-driven solutions that enhance the parking experience in Bethlehem,” said Steven Fernstrom, Executive Director of the Bethlehem Parking Authority. “Having access to accurate usage data is foundational to creating a more accessible and vibrant downtown for residents, businesses, and visitors.” “Cleverciti is proud to deepen our partnership with the Bethlehem Parking Authority,” said Sonny Samra, Chief Revenue Officer, Cleverciti. “From our initial deployment, we have seen both the challenges and the opportunities for parking in Bethlehem. Adding detection, guided enforcement, and wayfinding signage allows for an integrated approach that creates a closed loop system—where data is continuously collected, analyzed, and acted upon —providing real-time information, actionable insights, and visible guidance, so Bethlehem can deliver a better, smarter mobility experience.” What’s Next As rollout advances, BPA and Cleverciti will monitor metrics such as: Uptake in compliant parking (decrease in violations) Reduction in time spent cruising for a spot Changes in turnover and space utilization in detected zones Operational efficiencies (e.g. enforcement response time, staff allocation) Bethlehem’s journey with Cleverciti shows how modern curb management isn’t just a back-office function, but a visible, interactive experience that shapes mobility, access, and the city’s daily flow. This new phase promises to sharpen that experience for everyone.

City of Boston Modernizes Parking with Passport’s Unified Platform

Boston, MA – The Boston Transportation Department (BTD), including the Office of the Parking Clerk, is upgrading its digital parking infrastructure with Passport, the most trusted technology partner for innovative curb management solutions. The initiative replaces Boston’s decades-old parking system with a unified, digital platform designed to streamline operations, enhance compliance, and improve service delivery for residents, businesses, and visitors. “As part of our commitment to modernizing city services and improving the day-to-day experience, this move makes parking in Boston simpler, fairer, and more efficient,” said Jascha Franklin-Hodge, Chief of Streets for the City of Boston. “From day one, Passport has worked hand-in-hand with us, learning the nuances of our operations and configuring its platform to support a data conversion of over 30 million records and facilitating the sharing of information across departments. Together, we’ve replaced a 40-year-old system of siloed tools with a flexible foundation that will let Boston embrace whatever the future of mobility brings, while giving residents a more transparent, accessible experience today.” “Our ability to deliver the best experience to our constituents relies on the hardworking teams in the city and technology systems that are reliable and secure,” said Santiago Garces, Chief Information Officer for the City of Boston. “Passport was an incredible partner in making the transition to our new system go smoothly. And, by insourcing the management of phones, network, and equipment, our DoIT team was able to save 42% of the annual costs that were previously outsourced to the previous vendor." Just 72 hours after replacing the city’s former vendor, Passport’s end-to-end platform processed more than $750,000 in payments. Since the launch, Passport has processed over $17 million in curbside payments. BTD teams have embraced the technology with speed, hitting 111% of the previous system’s digital activity and completing over 13,000 constituent-serving actions by day three, from appeals and residential permit approvals to citation payments and hearing scheduling. This rapid rollout and immediate impact highlight Passport’s ability to help Boston move faster, serve better, and deliver a seamless experience city-wide. As part of this system-wide upgrade, the highly used ParkBoston app has returned to its original provider, Passport. The app has been upgraded as a key part of the city’s broader digital parking system transformation. Passport’s integrated solutions bring together parking enforcement, permitting, mobile payments, and data management into a single platform, helping one of the largest American cities: Simplify permitting and ticket appeals with a user-friendly, mobile-accessible system Increase transparency around parking rules, notices, and fees Support better compliance and reduce administrative burden across city departments “Boston joins a growing list of cities rethinking how curb space is managed,” said Khristian Gutierrez, co-founder and CEO of Passport. “This collaboration exemplifies what Passport's platform was built for: partnering with forward‑thinking cities to simplify the complex work of managing the curb, with a solution that evolves alongside them. BTD leadership has a tremendous vision for its curbs, and we’re honored to stand by their side during this digital transformation. With our open, API-first platform as Boston’s new foundation, we’re excited for this journey together, helping the city stay ahead of mobility innovation and deliver a seamless, transparent experience for its community.” “In order to deliver such an ambitious and transformative project, the City of Boston engaged Accenture’s public service practice to provide services that included project management, training support, business process improvement, and change management. Tim Rogers, Managing Director in Accenture’s Public Service practice, said: "We’re proud to collaborate with the City of Boston to drive this significant transformation of its parking infrastructure. By leveraging digital technologies, we're helping to create a more efficient, user-friendly parking system that simplifies enforcement, permitting, and payment processing, ultimately enhancing the overall experience for residents, businesses, and visitors."
