PORTLAND OR – HONK, North America’s leading provider of contactless payments for parking, has partnered with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to introduce a parking reservation system that simplifies parking for those commuting for work and education, while enhancing operational efficiency across the campus. "This new reservation system has made managing our limited parking easier,” said Brett Dodson, OHSU’s Director of Campus Access and Commute Services. “Students, contractors, vendors, volunteers and non-patient visitors can book their spots in advance and arrive with peace of mind, while our team now has the tools we need to manage parking more efficiently and make more educated operational decisions." The HONK-powered system includes two parking portals to meet the diverse needs of OHSU’s campus. The Public Parking Portal enables folks to pre-book parking at nine of OHSU’s on-campus lots, ensuring a hassle-free experience upon arrival. The Guest Parking Portal is designed for OHSU departments and staff to reserve parking for their visiting guests, up to two months in advance, and the option of department promo codes for simplified billing. Real-time reporting and analytics offer a detailed view of parking trends, enabling administrators to make informed adjustments and plan with confidence. With the ability to update parking availability on demand, OHSU can quickly adapt to the evolving needs of its campus. “What stood out most about working with HONK was how closely they worked with us to get it right,” said Michael Hatchell, OHSU’s Parking Manager. “Their team ensured the system fit into the unique needs of our campus, and we really appreciated the time and attention they provided as we worked through all of our use cases.” “OHSU is an essential part of the Portland community, and we’re proud to help make parking simpler for everyone who steps onto their campus,” said Michael Back, HONK’s Founder and CEO. “This partnership demonstrates how modern parking technology can deliver meaningful improvements for both parkers and operators alike.” By partnering with HONK, OHSU has introduced a smarter, more efficient way to manage parking for its students, contractors, and other non-patient visitors while strengthening its operational capabilities. About OHSU OHSU is Oregon's only public academic health center. We are a system of hospitals and clinics across Oregon and southwest Washington. We are an institution of higher learning, with schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry and public health – and with a network of campuses and partners throughout Oregon.

Chattanooga, TN — Known as the “Scenic City” for its breathtaking mountains, rivers, and outdoor recreation—isn’t just a destination for adventure seekers. It’s also a city committed to innovation, leveraging technology to improve public services. We’ve been proud to partner with the Chattanooga Parking Authority for years, and we’re excited to support their continued expansion with Park Loyalty’s integrated parking management software solutions. From Enforcement Management Software to a Fully Integrated Ecosystem Chattanooga first adopted Enforce Pro, a leading enforcement management software, to modernize parking enforcement. Since its launch, Enforce Pro has streamlined operations, boosting efficiency and compliance. But that was just the beginning—Chattanooga has now expanded to the full Park Loyalty platform without any system conversion downtime. Parking violations, permits, and meter reservations have been transitioned seamlessly, with no disruption to motorists. With the addition of Process Pro and Permit Pro, the City is now building a fully integrated parking management ecosystem that enhances enforcement, streamlines violation processing, and improves public access to permits and reservations. Optimizing Violation Processing with Process Pro With Process Pro, Chattanooga strengthens violation records management, ensuring smoother workflows and more effective case tracking. This ticket processing software automates citation handling, streamlining tasks such as payment processing, DMV data management, noticing, sanctions, and adjudication. While Process Pro strengthens the back-end citation management process, Chattanooga also sought to enhance both its operations and the public’s experience with parking permits. That’s where Permit Pro comes in, offering a seamless and user-friendly solution for permit applications and renewals. Enhancing Public Access with Permit Pro Permit Pro seamlessly integrates with Enforce Pro and Process Pro to manage the full digital permitting lifecycle. Its public-facing portal allows residents to apply for permits, make payments, renew accounts, and reserve metered spaces—all while ensuring compliance with city policies. With enforcement and permitting now fully integrated, Chattanooga is creating a parking system that works seamlessly for both administrators and the public. This unified approach reflects their commitment to smart parking solutions that eliminate manual processing and improving user experience. A Unified Parking System for Chattanooga’s Future Chattanooga’s commitment to smart parking solutions highlights the power of an integrated ecosystem. By combining enforcement, permitting, and reservations within a single platform, the city is improving accessibility, efficiency, and the overall parking experience.

Passport, the technology leader in parking compliance and curbside payment solutions, is alerting North American cities about a new scam that could potentially make parkers victims of fraud. The scam involves fraudulent text messages claiming to be from a city, notifying individuals of an outstanding parking invoice, and requesting payment via a link. These messages are currently being sent to users in the cities of Charlotte, NC, and Boston, MA and Houston, TX. To safeguard consumers, cities should communicate this potential issue with a warning and clarification on how consumers can confirm if the request is valid. Passport suggests that cities inform residents that: They can verify any outstanding citations through the city's parking portal. By entering a license plate number, users can view all citations, see related photographs, and either appeal or pay charges directly through the secure online system. The city will only use official methods to notify residents of parking citation charges. This includes a physical citation on the windshield and letters via USPS if the citation is unpaid. The city will never send payment links via text message or request payment through unofficial channels.
