The City of Hazleton, PA Modernizes Its Parking System with User-Friendly Solution
New solar-powered, touch screen pay stations offer more options than ever before
The City of Hazleton, Pennsylvania has announced an exciting upgrade to its parking system in partnership with Flowbird Group, the leader in curbside management and urban mobility solutions, and Butts Ticket Systems, its local distribution and service provider. The City will be replacing its aging single space parking meters with Flowbird's CWT Smart Parking Kiosks, fully equipped with the industry's latest technology. The upgrade is a part of the City's goal to enhance the customer service experience with a modernized solution while providing more payment options.
The new parking system will feature pay-by-plate parking kiosks with a 9.7" full color touch display that is accessible for all customers, including meeting ADA standards. The touch screen display has the look and feel of a tablet, walking users step by step through the transaction process.
To begin, the user simply enters their license plate number and desired length of stay. Payment will now be accepted with either coins, debit or credit card. Once payment has been made, the parking session has started and there is no need to walk back to their vehicle to display a receipt on the dashboard. At any point during their parking session, the user can revisit an ay station and add more time to their stay.
By implementing modernized pay stations with convenient payment options, the City will be able to better manage parking turnover and visitor influx during peak seasons. The switch from single space meters to multi-space pay stations will also bring about huge savings in time and cost to City staff.
All transaction data from the pay stations are sent in real-time to Flowbird's intelligent data management suite and shared with the City's enforcement solution, ready to be integrated with other payment modes such as mobile phone payments. Using the data provided by the Flowbird system, City staff can track the highest areas of use throughout the day. This data can be valuable to help determine future event parking, including plans for staffing.
Installation of the new pay stations has begun and will be live in October.
Project management and installation is being managed by Flowbird's local distribution partner, Butts Ticket Systems, based out of Pennsylvania.
Currently, Flowbird supports over 47,000 parking pay stations for 900 customers throughout the U.S. This implementation will add to Flowbird's impressive list of cities in Pennsylvania including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scranton, Jim Thorpe, Lancaster, and Williamsport.
