Enhanced Enforcement Efficiency Arrives in South Miami Known for its bustling shopping and dining scene, South Miami is taking parking management to the next level with Park Loyalty’s Enforce Pro®, enhancing accuracy, speed, and integration across its expanding ecosystem of parking technologies. South Miami has launched Park Loyalty’s Enforce Pro solution, entering a new era of parking efficiency that overcomes past challenges and positions the City to stay ahead. Facing system reliability issues and limited support for real-time integrations, South Miami required a robust, streamlined enforcement management system that could accommodate their expanded lineup of pay-by-cell providers, mobile LPR technology, and future permitting solutions. Park Loyalty’s Enforce Pro was selected not only as the enforcement solution but also as the ecosystem aggregator, bringing together multiple technologies to improve accuracy, speed, and overall efficiency. The performance numbers since launch underscore the effectiveness of the solution. Within 48 hours, city staff were fully adapted to the new system, issuing citations with unprecedented speed and precision. The average time to issue a citation now stands at just 35 seconds—more than twice as fast as with the previous system—while ticket void rates have dropped to less than 0.05%.

Park Loyalty is proud to partner with South Miami in their mission to bring innovative, reliable parking solutions to the community.

West Chester, PA -- The Borough of West Chester, Pennsylvania has announced an exciting upgrade to its parking system in partnership with Butts Ticket Systems and Flowbird Group, the leader in curbside management and urban mobility solutions. The Borough has updated its parking system with modernized touch-screen pay-by-plate parking kiosks, fully equipped with the industry’s latest technology, and two new mobile payment options – The Flowbird Mobile App and Pay-by-Text. The new parking system will feature parking kiosks with a 9.7” full color touch display. The touch screen has the look and feel of a tablet, walking users step-by-step through the transaction process. The kiosks will also allow for credit card payments as well as contactless payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. The environmentally friendly kiosks are solar powered - saving the Borough from any additional infrastructure costs - and paperless, allowing users to opt for text receipts instead. The new parking kiosks will use a ‘pay-by-plate’ parking system. This means that users will not be required to return to their car to display a receipt on the dashboard. Instead, all they need is their license plate information. The Borough is also excited to announce the release of two other digital parking solutions; The Flowbird Mobile App and Pay-by-Text! Those who used the Flowbird App on West Chester University’s campus will now be able to use the app downtown! The Flowbird App allows patrons to pay for parking from their mobile devices, receive text notifications when parking time is about to expire, and extend their time without having to visit a parking kiosk. The app features a map-based user interface, integrated with Waze and other navigation systems, to guide users to their preferred parking location. The app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store. In addition to the app, users can also use the Pay-by-Text functionality to make faster, easier payments! Pay-By-Text is an easy-to-use web-based solution that allows drivers to pay for their parking session without creating an account or downloading an app! Users can simply send a text with their parking code to 727563, and Flowbird will respond with a secure payment link. (The location parking code will be posted on-street signs and nearby parking kiosks!) Once the license plate and credit card information are entered, they’re all set! By implementing modernized parking solutions with convenient payment options, the Borough of West Chester will be able to better manage parking turnover and visitor influx during peak periods and provide a more user-friendly experience. The addition of digital payment options will bring a consistent and higher level of customer service to the parking public.

Key Takeaways The grant from the California State Transportation Agency will support the transition of UCLA’s BruinBus fleet to 100% electric and service expansion and will fund California’s first electric road charging system — all in time for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The wireless charging roadway project follows the deployment of the nation’s first public electric vehicle-charging roadway in Detroit, Michigan, which launched in November 2023. UCLA’s charging technology could set an example that advances transit electrification and efficiency across California’s transportation infrastructure. UCLA Events and Transportation has received significant funding from the California State Transportation Agency’s Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program. A $19.85 million grant received in collaboration with CALSTART — a nonprofit dedicated to accelerating clean transportation — and wireless charging provider Electreon will enable UCLA’s BruinBus fleet to transition to 100% electric, expand service, and fund California’s first in-road electric charging system, all in time for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. “This transformative grant will significantly enhance our transportation network, providing a cleaner, more efficient BruinBus fleet that aligns with our commitment to sustainability and innovation,” said Tony Lucas, executive director of UCLA Events and Transportation, noting that reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing transportation access are key priorities. BruinBus routes link major student residential neighborhoods, the Westwood Village commercial district, Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, academic buildings and many other university facilities. BruinBus routes also connect passengers to seven other transit agencies. The grant will be used to expand UCLA’s current fleet of five all-electric buses and an all-electric passenger van by adding another eight all-electric buses. In addition, funds will be used to build a new transit hub between the UCLA bus depot and the planned UCLA/Westwood station. This hub, set to open in 2028, will connect directly to L.A. Metro’s D Line light rail extension. The extension will bring riders within two-thirds of a mile from the UCLA campus and be the first-ever direct rail connection from downtown Los Angeles to Beverly Hills, Century City and Westwood. “The new transit hub and extension will be a game-changer for connectivity in Westwood,” said Clinton Bench, director of UCLA Fleet and Transit. “It will make it easier for everyone to travel between UCLA and key destinations throughout Los Angeles, especially as the city prepares to host the Olympics, thereby fostering a more integrated and accessible urban landscape." This grant will also support California’s first electric road system. Inductive charging coils will be installed below the road along transit routes on Charles E. Young Dr., roughly between the Westwood Plaza intersection and Murphy Hall, allowing for the wireless charging of electric passenger shuttles and heavy-duty buses while the vehicle drives. Additionally, static wireless charging will be deployed at passenger pick-up and drop-off locations and transit depots, including the new UCLA transit hub, to charge while vehicles are stopped. This mixed-use approach to wireless charging will allow UCLA to reap the environmental benefits of an expanded electrified fleet while minimizing vehicle downtime for charging and minimizing the size and weight of the vehicle’s battery. “By integrating advanced charging technology into the UCLA transit system, we are setting a precedent for the entire state,” said Jared Schnader, CALSTART senior director and bus initiative lead. “If adopted widely, this innovation could revolutionize transit electrification, enhancing efficiency and sustainability across California’s transportation infrastructure." Stefan Tongur, Electreon’s vice president of business development, said this project follows the successful deployment of the nation’s first public EV-charging roadway in Detroit, Michigan, which launched in November 2023. “The world needs innovative, scalable solutions with transformative impact to advance electrification, and this project demonstrates California's commitment to a more sustainable, efficient and accessible future,” Tongur said. “Electreon is proud to be working with UCLA and CALSTART to bring our advanced EV charging technology to the region’s transit system, ushering in an increasingly electric future for all.” CONTACTS: Rebecca Kendall Senior Communication Manager, UCLA Administration 310-909-9907 rkendall@adminvc.ucla.edu Jared Schnader Senior Director, Bus Initiative Lead, CALSTART jschnader@calstart.org Katelyn Davis Joyride Group (on behalf of Electreon) info.us@electreon.com

The BirdWatch parking system not only connects to payment terminals, now it can also be integrated with electrical chargers, creating a fluid experience for electric vehicle users and improved management for parking facility operators. With this new functionality, users can know how long the vehicle has been charging in real time, and how long it has been parked without charging (lead time), providing operators with a comprehensive, detailed view. The BirdWatch EVC functionality makes it possible to know what is happening in each charging space, in detail, both in terms of parking as well as the use of the charger. This facilitates efficient management and maximizes profitability, especially in facilities where major investments have been in fast-chargers. This ensures that these resources are used in an optimal, profitable manner. Challenges in ticketless parking facilities and our innovative solution: In parking facilities that use ticket-based systems, the process is clear. When the ticket is presented to the payment terminal, the system accurately indicates the time that the vehicle has been charging, enabling optimal management of the electric-charging parking spaces. What about ticketless parking facilities? Management of ticketless parking facilities brought out a common challenge. How can the machine know how many hours the vehicle has been charging, or if, on the other hand, it has been parked but not charging? The SC Indoor parking sensor can detect the vehicle and read its license plate. Then, the electric charger complies data on the charge. This information is transmitted through the API to the payment terminal. The inter-relation of data enables the creation of an accurate real-time record of the time that the car has been parked and charging, optimizing management and control of electric vehicle parking, and ensuring that charging spaces are used as efficiently as possible. Another challenge faced by ticketless parking facility operators is the risk of users entering license numbers of other vehicles in the parking facility to gain access to charging. Although many chargers have their own app to manage charging, this solution depends on mobile network coverage, which is not always available in underground parking areas. Ensuring coverage throughout an entire parking facility is expensive. But with our system it isn't necessary. Integrating the guidance sensors and automatic license plate recognition, this problem is averted, because the vehicle that is using the charging station is reliably authenticated. This guarantees comprehensive monitoring capability.  Incident detection: Uncharged, incorrectly parked vehicle: This functionality can also detect anomalies, like vehicles parked in a charging space that are not using the charger. This detection capacity not only helps maximize the efficient use of charging stations. It also diminishes the frustration of drivers looking for a free space, ensuring that they are always available for users who need them to charge their vehicles. Companies also face another challenge: employees with electric company cars. How can companies be sure the employee is charging their company car and not their own vehicle? With the guidance system, the SC Indoor sensor recognizes the license plate and prevents this fraud, ensuring that only authorized vehicles can use company charging stations. This functionality also has a direct impact on the performance and return on investment made by parking facility operators. By optimizing the use of charging spaces and reducing idle time of electric chargers, operators can significantly improve vehicle rotation and with it, the revenue generated. The system also facilitates more efficient resource management.  A comprehensive solution for parking facilities of the future: Our goal is to equip parking operators with smart tools that not only improve the user experience, but also contribute to sustainability and efficiency of their daily operations. With the integration of electric chargers into the BirdWatch system, Quercus Technologies is offering a comprehensive solution that addresses the needs of parking facility users and operators. From charging management and time monitoring to incident detection and resource optimization, we are building the infrastructure that will help parking facilities adapt to the demands of a new era of electric mobility. Contact: marketing@quercus-technologies.com The on-street parking system currently consists of single-space meters, which will remain in place. However, with the expansion of digital payment options, drivers can now choose between the existing meters and the new Flowbird Mobile App or Pay-by-Text system for added convenience. The Flowbird Mobile App allows users to pay for parking from their mobile devices, receive alerts when time is about to expire, and extend their parking sessions remotely without visiting a meter. The app features an intuitive, map-based interface and integrates with navigation systems like Waze to guide users to available parking spots. It can be downloaded from both the App Store and Google Play. For those who prefer a more streamlined option, Pay-by-Text provides a quick, web-based solution. After parking, users simply text the number posted near their parking space, receive a secure link, and input their payment information. No account creation or app download is necessary—just a few taps, and the parking session begins. “The success of the ParkBH garage program has shown how much digital payment options can improve the parking experience,” said Benoit Reliquet, President and CEO of Flowbird America. “We are excited to bring these cutting-edge and convenient solutions to the city’s on-street parking spaces and continue providing top-tier service to the community.” The roll-out of the on-street parking expansion has begun and will continue throughout the city in phases. Flowbird Parking Ambassadors will be on-site the 2nd week of November to assist customers with their first mobile payments or to answer any questions. Beverly Hills joins other destinations across California and the U.S. utilizing Flowbird’s mobile payment solutions, helping the City manage parking turnover, enhance the user experience, and streamline parking enforcement.

Although many chargers have their own app to manage charging, this solution depends on mobile network coverage, which is not always available in underground parking areas. Ensuring coverage throughout an entire parking facility is expensive. But with our system it isn't necessary. Integrating the guidance sensors and automatic license plate recognition, this problem is averted, because the vehicle that is using the charging station is reliably authenticated. This guarantees comprehensive monitoring capability.  Incident detection: Uncharged, incorrectly parked vehicle: This functionality can also detect anomalies, like vehicles parked in a charging space that are not using the charger. This detection capacity not only helps maximize the efficient use of charging stations. It also diminishes the frustration of drivers looking for a free space, ensuring that they are always available for users who need them to charge their vehicles. Companies also face another challenge: employees with electric company cars. How can companies be sure the employee is charging their company car and not their own vehicle? With the guidance system, the SC Indoor sensor recognizes the license plate and prevents this fraud, ensuring that only authorized vehicles can use company charging stations. This functionality also has a direct impact on the performance and return on investment made by parking facility operators. By optimizing the use of charging spaces and reducing idle time of electric chargers, operators can significantly improve vehicle rotation and with it, the revenue generated. The system also facilitates more efficient resource management.  A comprehensive solution for parking facilities of the future: Our goal is to equip parking operators with smart tools that not only improve the user experience, but also contribute to sustainability and efficiency of their daily operations. With the integration of electric chargers into the BirdWatch system, Quercus Technologies is offering a comprehensive solution that addresses the needs of parking facility users and operators. From charging management and time monitoring to incident detection and resource optimization, we are building the infrastructure that will help parking facilities adapt to the demands of a new era of electric mobility. Contact: marketing@quercus-technologies.com The on-street parking system currently consists of single-space meters, which will remain in place. However, with the expansion of digital payment options, drivers can now choose between the existing meters and the new Flowbird Mobile App or Pay-by-Text system for added convenience. The Flowbird Mobile App allows users to pay for parking from their mobile devices, receive alerts when time is about to expire, and extend their parking sessions remotely without visiting a meter. The app features an intuitive, map-based interface and integrates with navigation systems like Waze to guide users to available parking spots. It can be downloaded from both the App Store and Google Play. For those who prefer a more streamlined option, Pay-by-Text provides a quick, web-based solution. After parking, users simply text the number posted near their parking space, receive a secure link, and input their payment information. No account creation or app download is necessary—just a few taps, and the parking session begins. “The success of the ParkBH garage program has shown how much digital payment options can improve the parking experience,” said Benoit Reliquet, President and CEO of Flowbird America. “We are excited to bring these cutting-edge and convenient solutions to the city’s on-street parking spaces and continue providing top-tier service to the community.” The roll-out of the on-street parking expansion has begun and will continue throughout the city in phases. Flowbird Parking Ambassadors will be on-site the 2nd week of November to assist customers with their first mobile payments or to answer any questions.
