Los Angeles, CA – Arcadis, a global leader in design and consultancy for natural and built assets, announced that it will implement CurbIQ, a cutting-edge curbside management solution, for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). Financing from the United States Department of Transportation's Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) grant program will fund the project. Creation of a digital inventory of physical curb lane assets in Downtown Los Angeles, covering over 200 curb miles, will lay the groundwork for asset planning and management. Harnessing the power of data-driven insights will evolve curbside management for the city and empower LADOT to make informed planning and operational decisions. CurbIQ’s comprehensive suite of data collection, analysis, and visualization solutions will equip LADOT to dynamically manage the curb inventory in real time. The digital platform integrates surveyed curbside data, demand analysis, and third-party City software data sources. The goal of the project is to reduce congestion and optimize curb use in high-demand areas downtown, leading to better traffic management, more effective use of parking and loading zones, and ultimately a more accessible and efficient urban environment. LADOT has positioned itself as a leader in forward-thinking urban planning by anticipating future needs for large-scale events like the 2026 World Cup and the LA2028 Olympics and taking the initiative to manage curbside access. By integrating demand data, advanced analytics, and dynamic planning capabilities, Arcadis is helping LADOT achieve its goals for the SMART Grant project. The project is currently underway, with Phase 1 slated for completion in December 2025.. Tomas Carranza, the Assistant General Manager and Chief Technology Officer for the Office of Planning & Innovation for LADOT, said: “With its innovative CurbIQ product, Arcadis stands as the ideal partner for LADOT on this transformative journey toward smarter curbside management. Through CurbIQ's advanced analytics and dynamic management platform, we will enhance traffic flow, regulate curbside assets efficiently, and pave the way for a more accessible and organized urban environment. This project marks a significant step toward optimizing curbside management in dense urban areas like Downtown Los Angeles.” Jacob Malleau, Head of Product for CurbIQ at Arcadis, said: “The collaboration between CurbIQ and LADOT exemplifies a commitment to sustainable, resilient, and smart urban infrastructure development. We are excited to see how the data being generated for this project can be used to improve curbside operations in LA, and be a leading example for other cities throughout North America.” Some useful links about this project have been provided below: More info on LADOT’s Coding the Curb Initiative (link) The public facing CurbIQ map of downtown LA’s curb inventory (link) Request page to access the Curb Data Specification data feeds of LA’s curbs (link) Arcadis continues to expand its presence on the West Coast, securing contracts in Seattle, WA, West Hollywood, CA, Kirkland, WA, and numerous other cities across North America.

Just 10 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, the City of Glendale faces the same traffic pressures as many of its neighboring cities in LA County, making effective, data-driven parking enforcement essential. From managing turnover in in-demand commercial corridors to maintaining safe curb access for multi-modal transportation, parking plays a vital role in urban mobility. When Jesus Alvarez stepped into his role as Parking Services Supervisor for the City, he brought over a decade of enforcement experience across Southern California cities, and a clear mission: Enhance the City’s enforcement operations with efficiency by upgrading to a modern system, replacing the outdated legacy platform that had become unreliable. "We couldn’t even run basic reports with filters,” Alvarez recalled. “How are we going to provide exceptional customer service when we can’t make data-driven decisions with our enforcement resources?” Challenges before Park Loyalty The City’s enforcement team faced several critical challenges with their old system. Outdated citation software and handheld devices prone to freezing and other connectivity issues that disrupted day-to-day enforcement Rigid reporting tools with missing or unusable data Poor customer support and limited responsiveness Lack of vendor transparency during system outages or failures Inability to use “active” integrations “Updates felt like downgrades. We were stuck with an enforcement tool that just didn’t work for how we needed to operate,” says Alvarez. Time for a change: A platform designed for enforcement reality In previous positions, Alvarez had worked with Park Loyalty Founder and CTO Sriram Somanchi and was drawn to what a new technology partner might offer. Although Park Loyalty was a new company at the time, Somanchi brought extensive experience in parking enforcement, applying the most practical aspects of that experience to the startup from the outset. Glendale became one of the first cities to implement Enforce Pro®, Park Loyalty’s enforcement management solution, and as an early adopter, helped shape its initial product roadmap. What developed was more than just a vendor-client relationship; it was a true collaboration. “We all grew together,” explained Alvarez. “As one of their early cities, we were more than just a customer; we were a partner in what ended up being a truly mutual relationship. It was simple. We’d tell them what we needed, and they’d build it.” This approach is exactly what makes Jesus Alvarez an industry impact leader: someone whose vision and openness helped shape solutions that strengthen operations, benefit communities, and set new standards across the industry. Solutions delivered Customizable reports for vehicle inspections, signage audits, and equipment inventory Smartphone-based handhelds paired with Bluetooth printers for modular field use Real-time analytics and dashboards for officer performance tracking and supervisory management Fast hardware replacement when needed, and responsive support Reliable uptime and proactive monitoring tools that track performance across Park Loyalty and all integrated third-party technologies within the parking ecosystem Practical innovation that works: Operational and officer efficiency The move to smartphone-based handhelds allowed for quick swaps in the field, no reconfiguration required. This minimized downtime and aligned with Alvarez’s goals of operational efficiency. The team also saw improvements in field oversight and training. With Enforce Pro’s productivity reporting, Alvarez could monitor performance trends and provide specific coaching where needed. “If an enforcement officer takes 90 seconds to issue a parking citation while the team’s average is 60 seconds or less, supervisory staff can investigate the reasons behind this trend and offer appropriate support to our enforcement team.” A Technology-First Partner Built for the Future Park Loyalty is a technology-first company, and that shows in its prioritization of development resources. Built with modern architecture and an API-first approach, the Enforce Pro platform is designed for rapid development, scalable integrations, and long-term adaptability. They are more than just dependable. They embody leading-edge technology, unwavering client focus, and a proven track record of success. Alvarez values this commitment to reliability just as much as innovation. As new enforcement challenges arise, he knows the Park Loyalty team can adapt alongside him without the long delays or limitations experienced with many legacy providers. Real-Time Integration Across the Parking Ecosystem One of Glendale’s priorities was interoperability across its entire parking system. One of Enforce Pro’s greatest advantages for Glendale is its ability to pull data from across the City’s parking ecosystem, including: T2 Systems (parking meters) PayByPhone (mobile payments) License Plate Recognition (LPR tools) That means officers can check in real time whether a vehicle is paid or not, reducing errors and disputes. Alvarez also uses the Integrations Dashboard to monitor system latency and performance, making sure everything is in sync. “If latency spikes above a minute, we know something’s off. Whether it’s a meter issue or a network problem, we can catch it before it affects enforcement.” Results: Reliable Enforcement, Better Compliance Since implementing Park Loyalty, the City of Glendale has seen: Improved officer efficiency and uptime in the field Increased citation accuracy and fewer disputed tickets Greater trust and transparency through consistent data Faster response times for hardware and support needs A flexible system that evolves with operational needs And perhaps most importantly for Alvarez: he finally has tools that help him lead effectively. “Whenever we requested something, it was like VIP service. Whoever’s on the call is truly engaged: listening, taking notes, and making sure the issue gets fixed.” Final Word: Why Park Loyalty? Alvarez didn’t hesitate when asked if he’d recommend Park Loyalty to other cities. “Once they see it, they’ll see how easy and smooth enforcement can be. It just works. That makes all the difference.” Key Takeaways for Parking Leaders: Strategic partnerships with your vendors matter Flexibility and adaptability beat out flashy features Real-time integrations drive operational accuracy Data visibility enables better leadership and officer support A technology-first mindset is crucial for staying future-ready Contact Us If you're facing similar challenges or planning your next step in enforcement or citation processing, we’d love to help.

Chicago, IL – Ocra, the leading provider of parking revenue management software, announces its successful raise of $5 million in strategic capital led by Trestle Partners, with significant follow-on participation from existing investor MCR, the third-largest hotel owner-operator in North America. This latest funding round marks a meaningful milestone in Ocra’s growth. Trestle Partners joins as a new investor, leading the round and reinforcing the Ocra leadership team’s long-term growth mindset. MCR, which first invested in Ocra in an oversubscribed round in April 2024, doubled-down on its investment, signaling an emphatic endorsement of the company’s current performance and future potential. “Parking is no longer an afterthought, but a substantial ancillary revenue stream for asset owners”, says Thomas Babcock, Partner at Trestle Partners. “It’s clear to us that Ocra is building the solutions needed to unlock that value. Our investment is a reflection of this clarity, and of the momentum that Ocra is building.” Joe Delli Santi, Chief Investment Officer at MCR, adds: “We’ve seen firsthand how Ocra has matured over the last two years. Increasing our investment was an easy decision. This is a team that knows how to execute and understands the complexity of the industry. We’re proud to support their next phase of growth.” The funding will be used to accelerate product development and expand go-to-market efforts. Ocra’s leadership succeeded in their goal of getting the company to cash-flow breakeven while growing nearly 200% YoY and is excited to add more fuel to the fire. “We didn’t set out to raise capital this year – and frankly, we didn’t need to,” says Ocra’s Chief Executive Officer, Ethan Glass. “Our team has scaled the business with top-tier unit economics and a strong foundation. But the opportunity arose to accelerate growth without compromising who we are. Trestle Partners, MCR, and our other esteemed investors bring far more than capital – they’re strategic partners who share our vision and are uniquely positioned to support this next chapter.” The company also plans to expand its presence within the hospitality and commercial real estate, where demand for streamlined, real-time parking revenue management is growing. Amplifying this infusion of new capital, Anthony Broad-Crawford, joins the Ocra leadership team as Chief Technology Officer. A seasoned technology executive with 20+ years of experience launching award-winning, patent-receiving products on a global scale, Broad-Crawford has previously served as C-Suite product leadership at multiple innovative companies in the parking space, including SpotHero, FLASH, and Parkonect. “AI has made for an unprecedented moment in history – it’s more significant than personal computing, the internet, and mobile computing combined,” says Anthony Broad-Crawford, Ocra’s Chief Technology Officer. “Parking and mobility remain one of the premier spaces where AI can have a transformative and societal impact. Therefore, I’m honored and excited to partner with Ocra to accelerate this AI transformation of our industry, leveraging their unique combination of human-led services and technology to deliver groundbreaking results.” To learn more about Ocra, contact info@getocra.com or visit getocra.com.

Denver, CO – PRRS, the leading provider of parking compliance solutions, announced the introduction of Autostart, a groundbreaking AI-powered parking management technology designed to transform the way drivers access and pay for parking. Powered by Paralign’s ARCFlex software and leveraging advanced AI vision, Autostart offers an open network, precise payment activation for gateless, free-flow parking facilities, capturing and verifying license plate data the instant a vehicle enters and exits a facility and automatically charging drivers for the exact amount of time that the parking session lasted via your preferred payment platform. Unlike other payment networks serving the parking industry, this is an open network, which allows parking owners and operators to choose their preferred payment provider for collecting parking fees. “Autostart is a game changer when it comes to parking,” said John Conway, Co-Founder and Chief Business Development Officer for PRRS. “Ticketless parking enables a more efficient, cost-effective, and driver-friendly experience, but it has always been challenging to manage payments fairly and accurately. Autostart solves that problem and makes free-flow parking work for any parking facility.” Autostart provides unmatched convenience and accuracy, including: Instant Vehicle Recognition: The system’s AI vision technology automatically detects and verifies license             plate data upon entry and egress with 99.88% accuracy. Effortless Payment: If the driver is pre-registered with the facility’s preferred payment provider, the system  automatically processes the payment—eliminating the need for tickets, cash, or manual check-ins. Flexible Options for All Parkers: Drivers who aren’t registered with the facility’s preferred payment app can still easily register with that app and pay manually. Real-Time Notifications: For registered users, the facility’s payment provider’s app of choice instantly notifies them when a parking session begins. Precision Billing: Upon exit, Autostart reads the license plate again and activates the payment precisely for the duration of their stay via the facility’s preferred payment app. ARCFlex is already integrated with more than 45 parking payment providers and PRRS is migrating payment providers to Autostart, making it one of the most interoperable and user-friendly parking solutions available. “Until the introduction of Autostart, drivers parking in ticketless parking lots and garages had to pre-pay for a set amount of parking,” said Conway. “The problem is that people don’t always know how long they will park. Meetings run long or people just lose track of time. When that happens parking owners have had to treat overstays as an enforcement issue, sending notices for noncompliance fees. Drivers hate receiving notices for $50 or more. Autostart minimizes this unpleasant pain point.” The launch of Autostart underscores PRRS’ commitment to improving the compliance of facility and simplifying the payment process in free-flow parking facilities and reducing the need to issue notices of noncompliance. More information about Autostart can be found here. PRRS’ main focus is making customer journeys and experiences in parking better while improving compliance with facility rules. With Autostart and the facility’s preferred payment provider, parkers have less hassle to perfectly choose parking times, payment providers have more successful payments, and landowners have improved compliant use of their facility. It’s a win-win-win for all parties! About PRRS Parking Revenue Recovery Services (PRRS) is the leading provider of fully-integrated parking compliance and customer support services to the parking and other industries.

Redmond, WA – Hallcon Corporation, a leading provider of transportation and infrastructure services in North America, announced the groundbreaking of its newest Electric Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC) in Redmond, WA. As the largest 24/7 EV fleet charging facility in Washington, this state-of-the-art facility marks a significant step forward in sustainable transportation infrastructure, meeting the growing demand for clean mobility solutions in the Puget Sound region. The Redmond EVOC spans nearly four acres and features 60 high capacity charging ports powered by over 5 megawatts of energy. This infrastructure will enable the facility to charge more than 300 vehicles daily, including motorcoaches and shuttles. To ensure uninterrupted operations during emergencies, the facility will also include 1.5 megawatts of backup power. "As part of Hallcon’s 2017 vision for sustainable transportation, we are thrilled to break ground on our newest EV Operations Center in Redmond," said John R. Stoiber, Hallcon President & CEO. "With its world-class charging capacity and fleet electrification capabilities, we aim to position Redmond and the state of Washington as a hub for sustainable transportation and forward-thinking mobility." Once operational, the EVOC is expected to eliminate 25,000 tons of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing thousands of cars from local roads each year. Designed to serve fleet clients with valet-style charging and vehicle staging, the site will also create nearly 50 new green jobs in the region. “Our Economic Development Strategic Plan, which was adopted last year, outlines goals to attract companies that align with our commitment to sustainability,” said Mayor Angela Birney. “Hallcon is doing impressive work in this area, and we are grateful to see an EV charging facility of this caliber choosing to call Redmond home.” Hallcon’s EV Operations Center will be built out in phases to align with client needs and meet the region’s growing demand for EV charging services. Scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, this facility will provide critical charging infrastructure while also offering advanced EV analytics and command center services to support customers across the region. Washington State Senator Vandana Slatter, who represents the 48th Legislative District, also celebrated the groundbreaking: “Supporting electrification and clean mobility is essential to achieving Washington’s ambitious climate goals. Hallcon’s leadership exemplifies what can be accomplished when private investment aligns with public purpose, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future for our communities.” "Partnering with Hallcon on their EV Operations Center exemplifies our dedication to accelerate sustainable transportation,” said Aaron August, SVP, Chief Customer and Transformation Officer at Puget Sound Energy. “Initiatives like this are essential to achieving Washington State’s ambitious clean energy goals while delivering lasting environmental and economic benefits to the communities we serve.” About EVOne® Hallcon delivers unparalleled expertise in turnkey electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure development, analytics, charge management, infrastructure maintenance, optimization, and Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS).
