Lessons learned
Smart Parking-Mobile Payments – WPA 2011
Draft a joint implementation plan with all stakeholders (marketing, enforcement!) and stick to it
Make sure all stakeholders are committed to timeline Train the PEO’s how to prevent erroneous citations – if not
managed well this will hurt the program Vendors and Parking Authorities’ partnerships in the social
media arena are driving positive dialogues Stay on top of your social media – if you do you will keep
people engaged and they will feel part of the success Set up programs with local business districts to increase
awareness and create local commitment Listen to user feed back and create a User Focused Project
Plan to enhance features and service

Where is the market heading?
Technology shift Shift from traditional payment methods to mobile apps, QR
code and NFC (‘Tap & Go’)Mobile payment revolution – riding the wave
Extension of mobile payments to every aspect in life (open loop system) and eventually elimination of cashAvailable parking guidance focus
Real-time available aggregated data enables reduction of congestion & Co2 emissions plus TDMLocation based marketing / customer loyalty programs
Customers can benefit from localized and targeted marketing, e.g. buy a coffee at Starbucks when parked nearby and get a free scone (opt-in only and customizable profile for selective and relevant approach)
