Kiosks make parking easy in Connecticut

December 22, 2010

“Park” is no longer a dirty, four-letter word in Norwalk, Conn., since the city’s Parking Authority deployed “simple-to-use, sheltered pay kiosks, obviating the need for a gated, manned facility,” said Kathryn Hebert, director of the Authority, in a story on thedailyeaston.com.

Hebert said the pay kiosks were the first of their kind on the Eastern Seaboard with credit card-reading equipment. "It's high-tech but mostly, it's incredibly convenient," she said.

The Parking Authority is a financially self-sustaining organization responsible for the operations and maintenance of the city's municipal parking system, which consists of four parking structures and six surface lots, as well as on-street parking.
