More than 10,000 parking space sensors will help Clemson faculty, staff and students find a parking spot on campus this Fall thanks to a project two years in the making coordinated by Parking and Transportation Services and parking solution provider eleven-x. The sensors will provide real-time parking data through the Tigers Commute app, allowing drivers to see available spaces at a glance. Installation of the sensors will begin on Thursday, March 13, with 3,000 spaces completed over Spring Break. The remaining sensors along with digital displays at the major lots will be installed during the summer in time for the start of the Fall 2025 semester. Once all the sensors are installed, the feature will be active in the Tigers Commute app. “At Clemson University, our ethos is about putting people first by offering top-tier resources across our campus,” said Dan Hofmann, director of Parking and Transportation Services. “This installation is leading the way to improving the parking experience for our staff, students and visitors.” Employee and student commuter lots as well as all accessible, EV charging and metered parking spaces across main campus will feature sensor technology. A sophisticated state of the art gateway network installed throughout campus will allow single space parking sensors installed in the middle of each parking space to wirelessly communicate vehicle occupancy through the network. The occupancy information will be displayed on the Tigers Commute app, via the web-based version or on more than 40 new digital displays outside of the major parking lots on campus. “As a Clemson employee, I’m looking forward to knowing ahead of time what spaces are available,” said Jeff Anthony, occupational safety manager in Occupational and Environmental Safety and Staff Senate president. “These sensors should also improve safety and congestion with fewer cars circling for an open spot.” Combined with real-time transit and ride-sharing features in Tigers Commute, the sensors will help those coming to campus plan their trips more efficiently. The technology will also provide Parking and Transportation Services with more accurate data such as lot occupancy rates and peak usage times to enhance future offerings. More information will be shared in Clemson News when available.

Charlotte, NC – Passport, the most trusted technology partner for innovative curb management solutions, is helping Florida cities manage the influx of spring break visitors and is revealing its parking and payment best practices. Last year, Florida saw a record-breaking 142.9 million visitors, with a significant portion traveling during the spring break season in March and April - more people can mean more problems with parking. “With Spring Break approaching, Florida is preparing for a record influx of visitors—and as someone who grew up here, I know firsthand how crucial this surge is to local economies,” said Khristian Gutierrez, co-founder and CEO of Passport. “But we also want to ensure local officials have the software resources to keep their communities functioning smoothly. As a trusted partner to cities across North America, we offer real-time insights and comprehensive parking compliance solutions that empower leaders to make informed decisions—both during peak demand and throughout the year—ultimately helping communities thrive.” Passport’s fully integrated curb management solution brings together parking enforcement, mobile pay parking, digital permitting, payments, and more. By centralizing parking data, Passport ensures cities can operate more efficiently, increase revenue, and improve the parking experience. In February 2025, the City of Tampa experienced a 57.5% increase in Passport Parking sessions compared to February 2024 and is preparing for more congestion in the month ahead. “The City of Tampa is focused on making our city fun for tourists and livable for our residents, even during high-volume times like spring break,” said Fed Revolte, City of Tampa Parking Division Manager. “With Passport, we have been able to access valuable data on what’s happening at the curb for the last few years so that we can better plan for managing parking turnover and compliance. It also allows us to provide an easy solution for parkers who want to pay from their phone.” In order to better manage parking during peak times, Passport suggests cities focus on these five best practices: Use clear signage: By providing clear and easily understandable parking signage, cities inform and update residents and visitors alike about parking regulations. Confusing or poorly placed signs can lead to unintentional violations. Make it mobile: Ensure you’re offering a mobile app to pay for parking and citations, and encourage parkers to download the right app to make life at the curb easier, while also expediting payments for citations. In 2024, 85% of all paid citations processed by Passport were resolved online. Over-communicate to consumers: Make sure they understand the citation and enforcement rules and next steps - including how they will receive notices. Most cities don’t send payment links via text message or request payment through unofficial channels. Dive into data: Explore years and months past to spot trends and stay ahead of challenges. Changing parking turnover during peak times can help alleviate congestion and ensure the city runs smoothly when it’s busy. Choose the right partner: Select a parking vendor that can bring all facets of curb management into one place to ease the burden for city officials and parkers alike. Passport's Partner Marketplace boasts over 60 integrations with technology partners and collaborates with regional providers and private operators like LAZ Parking and Metropolis SP+. Passport supports 800 cities and has processed more than $3.5B in curbside payments across paid citations, mobile payments, and parking permits. Passport data shows one in five Americans interacted with at least one of Passport’s products in 2024.

About Passport Passport is the trusted technology partner for over 800 cities and private operators across North America, unifying paid parking, enforcement operations, and payment infrastructure into one platform. By simplifying how municipalities manage and monetize the curb, Passport empowers local leaders to boost compliance, unlock new revenue opportunities, and improve how people move around their communities.

OAKLAND, CA - The Oakland City Council just approved the installation of 244 Flash Level 2 public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and other improvements across eight downtown city parking facilities. The eight newly approved locations will add 244 Level 2 EV chargers to the existing 24 charging stations already installed at the Oakland City Center Garage (525 14th St.) and 32 charging stations at the Rotunda Garage (524 16th St.) for a total of 300. Level 2 chargers provide 240 volts of electricity, allowing nearly all-electric vehicles to charge from empty to full in four to eight hours. “Oakland is committed to building a greener, more sustainable future, and expanding our public EV charging infrastructure is a critical step in that journey. These new chargers will make it easier for Oaklanders—especially those who don’t have access to at-home charging—to choose clean transportation. By investing in this infrastructure now, we’re ensuring that all our communities can benefit from the transition to electric vehicles, reducing emissions and improving air quality for everyone," said Interim Oakland Mayor Kevin Jenkins. “The people of Oakland lead the nation in the transition to electric vehicles, and this gives them convenient, affordable access to the infrastructure they need to sustain the shift and make it a practical choice for more of our residents, especially those who can’t realistically charge at home,” said Josh Rowan, OakDOT Director. This new partnership with Flash will help implement Oakland’s Zero Emission Vehicle Action Plan and 2030 Equitable Climate Action Plan, which together provide a roadmap to a zero-emission transportation system in Oakland. The chargers will be installed at no cost to the City and the City will receive half of net revenues from charging. The new EV charging sites will be operational by the end of 2025 – some with on-site battery systems, lighting, and other property improvements – at the following addresses: Oakland Museum of California - 1000 Oak St. Marriott Convention Center - 1001 Broadway St. Pacific Renaissance Plaza - 1002 Webster St. Harrison Garage - 1200 Harrison St. Franklin Plaza Garage - 1735 Franklin St. Telegraph Plaza Garage - 2100 Telegraph Ave. 1800 San Pablo Lot - 1800 San Pablo Ave. Parkway Lot - 360-398 E. 19th St. The new locations join the initial two that went live late last year as part of a growing EV charging ‘Innovation Lab’ Flash is building with a $5.8 million grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to demonstrate a reliable, scalable model for public charging infrastructure. “The City of Oakland and its residents have embraced electric vehicles and clean transportation,” said Hannon Rasool, director of the CEC’s Fuels and Transportation Division. “The city’s leadership in supporting and installing effective public charging infrastructure helps improve our communities. Oakland is setting an example for how cities can lead across California and the country.” Data from Flash and CEC’s collaboration will provide technical and financial insights to improve efficiency, dependability, and return on investment to the City of Oakland. Flash will also promote the availability of the new EV charging stations through a multi-channel community outreach initiative, including direct outreach to area businesses. “This collaboration with CEC and the City of Oakland is a huge source of pride for us at Flash,” said Matt McCaffree, Vice President & General Manager of EV Charging at Flash. “We’re showing what’s possible for the future of parking plus charging and playing a part in helping Oakland and other smart cities make the EV transition a reality.” About the Oakland Equitable Climate Action Plan (ECAP) The ECAP establishes actions the City and its partners will take by 2030 to equitably reduce Oakland’s climate emissions and adapt to a changing climate. Part of the ECAP is the Zero Emission Vehicle Action Plan, which provides a roadmap for transitioning to a zero-emission transportation system.

Vancouver, Canada – PayByPhone, a global leader in mobile parking payments, launches its multi-award-winning Meters for Trees tree-planting initiative in North America. First introduced in the UK in 2019, Meters for Trees offers an innovative and straightforward way to promote mobile parking payments while making a meaningful environmental impact by planting trees. Carmen Donnell, Managing Director North America for PayByPhone, says, “Meters for Trees is a revolutionary initiative that promotes positive and sustainable change, which is perfect to launch ahead of the United Nations’ International Day of Forests and World Planting Day 2025, which takes place on March 21. Thanks to the removal or decommissioning of meters or pay stations, cities, universities, and parking operators can leave a sustainable green legacy for future generations, while at the same time contribute to cleaner air today for local communities and save costs for their operation simply by promoting mobile parking payments.”  Meters for Trees is part of PayByPhone’s broader environmental campaigns, including Green December. Over the past five years, these campaigns have collectively planted over 225,000 trees globally. Under the terms of Meters for Trees, PayByPhone will plant one verified tree on its client’s behalf for every multi-space meter, and one tree for every 10 single-space parking meters in a client’s operation that are removed. Trees will be planted through PayByPhone’s partner, veritree, a data-driven, restorative platform that connects nature-based solutions with mission-driven companies ready to lead the restorative economy. By switching to mobile parking payments, cities, universities and parking operators help improve air quality by eliminating the need for collection and maintenance vehicles, which would otherwise be on the roads collecting cash from parking meters and pay stations, repairing and replacing parts, emitting harmful tailpipe gasses. Greenhouse gases, like CO2, and vehicles, in particular diesel vehicles, which emit particulate matter such as soot and NOx, negatively impact air quality and may exacerbate many respiratory illnesses. Each tree planted through Meters for Trees absorbs CO₂, directly benefitting the local environment by sequestering greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Meters for Trees has been recognized for its environmental efforts, winning 12 international awards to date, including a Global Gold Award at the 2019 Green World Environment Awards in the Carbon Reduction and Local Authorities categories, the Green Champion Award in Carbon Reduction at the 2019 Green Apple Environment Awards, and the Environmental Initiative Award at the 2020 SEAL Business Sustainability Awards. “Implementation of Meters for Trees is uncomplicated, quick and inexpensive. By removing payment hardware in favor of digital parking payments, clients not only eliminate the need for expensive EMV readers but also streamline operations and reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, they can make an immediate impact through supporting reforestation efforts. Best of all, they can make the switch at their own pace, ensuring a seamless transition that fits their needs,” adds Donnell. Oswaldo Tosado, Deputy Director of Allentown Parking Authority, in Pennsylvania, one of the first cities to have implemented Meters for Trees, says, “Partnering with PayByPhone on Meters for Trees is an exciting step toward sustainability. It allows us to drive greater adoption of mobile parking solutions while actively contributing to environmental conservation.” Monica Beltran, Parking Mobility and Sustainability Director City of Coral Gables, says, “Joining PayByPhone’s Meters for Trees is a meaningful way for our city to reinforce what truly sets Coral Gables apart—our lush tree canopy. As a Tree City USA for 40 years and counting, we take immense pride in preserving and enhancing our urban forest.” Chelsea Baker van Drood, Parking Services Program Specialist, City of Olympia, Washington, who signed up to Meters for Trees in 2025, says, “We’re excited to partner with PayByPhone on Meters for Trees as part of our commitment to combating climate change and deforestation. This initiative offers an innovative and easy way to promote mobile parking payments while planting trees and making a meaningful environmental impact.” For more information about Meters for Trees, please visit www.paybyphone.com/meters-for-trees ABOUT PAYBYPHONE We simplify the journeys for millions of people through our smart, intuitive mobile payment technology and exciting features.

IPMI announces the transition of its industry-leading CAPP credential to the Parking, Transportation & Mobility Professional™ (PTMP™) credential. This unprecedented transformation continues the IPMI mission to advance the parking, transportation, and mobility profession. The CAPP credential was created and named in 1991 by IPMI’s original predecessor organization, the Institutional and Municipal Parking Congress (IMPC), which eventually became the International Parking Institute (IPI). In 2018, the organization was renamed IPMI to meet the evolving needs of our members; it is in that same spirit of evolution that IPMI has reimagined our credentials. In spring 2024, IPMI completed a Job Analysis Survey. The results illustrated a gap between the knowledge, skills, and abilities that the CAPP role performs and the name of the credential. To better align this vital certification with the evolution of the position, IPMI closed that gap and transformed the credential with the creation of the PTMP certification. With this transition, the PTMP credential becomes the leading credential worldwide for parking, transportation, and mobility. Certification assures stakeholders (employers, regulators, consumers, and the public) that the credentialed professional has demonstrated superior industry-specific knowledge. Currently certified CAPP professionals will have several options for transitioning their credential, and all newly certified professionals will begin receiving the PTMP credential effective immediately. To learn more about the PTMP credential, please visit https://www.parking-mobility.org/capp-certification/. About IPMI The International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI) is the world’s largest association of professionals in parking, mobility, and transportation.
