Denver provides pay-and-display parking kiosks

July 7, 2004

DENVER - The city of Denver is implementing more than 75 multi-space pay-and-display pay parking kiosks, according to GovTech.net

"Like most major metropolitan centers in the United States, Denver is greatly affected by the high mobility of its population," said Anderson Moore, parking director. "With the installation of Parkeon pay stations we hope to continue mitigating the parking challenges facing Cherry Creek North and further our goal in providing the highest quality service to Denver's residents and visitors."

The pay-station kiosks give drivers the option of moving their cars from one street space to another (within the designated area where the kiosks are installed) without forfeiting their remaining time.
The pay stations accept coins, credit cards or tokens. The kiosks are solar-powered, and are maintained through remote monitoring from a wireless connection that connects to a fully hosted management system located at Parkeon's New Jersey facility.

The benefits, however, are not only for the consumer. Denver parking officials can use the kiosks to reduce operating costs through real-time statistical analysis; provide more efficient maintenance planning; streamline parking revenue management, including the collection of revenues and fines; and provide the ability to manage everything from one central location.
