Intelligent Parking Management:CityWide Metered Parking Modernization Program
and Downtown Virtual Park
Washington, DC March 31, 2011
1Background and Recommendations
– Pre-2008: All meters were installed in the late 1990s
– Meter Conditions and Complaints• As operability decreased over the years, complaints rose• Maintenance and collection systems used different handhelds and computer systems• DDOT faced an unusable meter inventory
– Research and Recommendations• Parking technology – Request for Information (RFI)• Reviewed nationwide meter deployment• Performed extensive field tests of new technology• September 2007: Multi-space meter pilot/ Mayor and City Council directed DDOT to conduct multi-
space meter pilot

2 New Meter Technology
District Department of Transportation
– 2007-2009 Pilot Program Elements• Pay Stations• Standard Single-space Meters• Enhanced Single-space Meters
– Key Lessons Learned• Credit card capability is extremely valuable• Public desires cell phone payment capability• Real-time maintenance alerts and electronic payment options will improve revenue 15-20%
– 2010: New Technology and Rates• Central Management System and Parking• New Meter Inventory• New Meter Rates and Hours
3 Setting Priorities and Goals
District Department of Transportation
Based on background, recommendations, and New Meter Technology Pilot, the following priority and goals were set.
•Priority: Modernize Citywide meter parking program
•Goals:– Upgrade District’s metered parking spaces– Improve Downtown metered parking spaces– Obtain Federally-funded demonstration project– Create an intelligent parking management system
4 Next Step - Procurement
District Department of Transportation
1. Procurement may include two RFPs – Citywide metered parking modernization program and Smart Park. When completed, all of the District’s metered parking spaces will incorporate the most current, proven technology.
2. Procurement Considerationsa. Benefits of a single RFP for the Citywide Procurement, including Smart Park– Assures compatibility of all system elements– Once contractor is accountable for the entire Parking Management System
b. Risks associated with a single RFP– Adds Federal requirements to the Citywide procurement– Increases the probability of schedule slippage and possible loss of Federal funds
5 Citywide RFP Project Scope
District Department of Transportation
What should the RFP include?
– Considerations• Recommendations for upgrading the District’s parking meter spaces – approximately 18,000• Implementing sensor technology to gather real time parking data for high demand meter spaces• Processing all meter data and vehicle sensor data into a single management system• Integrating with Smart Park, an intelligent parking management system for Downtown DC
6 Parking Management System
District Department of Transportation
7 Parking Meters in the District
District Department of Transportation
1. Standard Single Metera. Accepts coins and parking card
b. Off-line data retrieval during collection
2. Enhanced Single Space Metersa. Accepts credit card and pay by phone payment options
b. Meter status reported on a real time basis
3. Pay Stations for multiple spacesa. Same features as enhanced single space meters
b. Best option for lots and angled parking
8 Sensor Technology
District Department of Transportation
How will sensors improve Meter Parking in the District?
– Data• Will provide real time occupancy data to the parking management system• Will improve accounting, collection, and auditing
– Meter Policies
– Meter Maintenance
– Parking Enforcement
9 Smart Park Integration
District Department of Transportation
Smart Park = an intelligent parking management system for Downtown DC, which includes 5,500 on-street metered parking spaces.
– Project Elements• New Parking Meter Technology• Vehicle sensors built into parking meters (Due to inclimate weather, in-ground sensors are not
recommended.)• Data processing to recommend new meter policies, hours of operation, hourly rates, and time limits.• Real time parking guidance system
– Project Schedule• DDOT anticipates that the Smart Park system will be operational before the Citywide parking
management system is complete.• Notice to proceed milestone – May 15, 2011• Smart Park must be fully operational by December 31, 2010

Parking meters: Credit card-based. Multi-space meters. Time of day / special event rate
adjustments (variable rate by schedule). Also, planning for “pay by phone”. Ability to monitor
inventory of spaces, availability, rates and schedules, monitoring for problems with meters
(auto gen work orders for maintenance).
Show connection of parking meters (open spots on-street parking) to TMC.
Connections to private parking operators for under-ground parking. (ATMS17)
Track/monitoring of parking curb-side occupancy and turn-over.
Enforcement.
DDOT Installs the parking meters. Enforcement by DPW (writes the ticket and can tow the vehicle).
Loading zones:
Add ITS element: Parking Detection Equipment/Parking Payment
Equipment, or generalize into Parking Field Equipment.
Reviewed drafts of customized ITS Services and made extensive markups (e.g. Parking Management
