The City of St. Louis Treasurer’s Office will conduct a town hall meeting to give the public the chance to meet the vendors participating in the parking technology field tests in downtown and the Central West End. The meeting will be Tuesday, June 24 at the Central Library, 1301 Olive St. in downtown. A meet and greet with the vendors will take place at 6 p.m., with a presentation to begin at 7 p.m.
The companies participating in the town hall are Xerox; Duncan Solutions; Aparc Systems; and a joint proposal submitted by T2 Systems, Inc., Republic Parking System and Digital Payment Technologies.
The parking technology field tests are part of an ongoing effort to modernize operations. The goal is to provide the St. Louis with a cost-effective on-street parking system that allows people to use cash, credit cards and mobile phones to pay for parking.
The field test evaluation sites are located on 10th Street between Chestnut and Washington Avenue and at the corner of Broadway and Pine in downtown St. Louis and at Maryland and Euclid and Laclede and Euclid in the Central West End. The smart phone applications being tested are Parkmobile and Passport Parking.
“Public feedback is important as we bring the parking operations into the 21st century,” said Treasurer Tishaura O. Jones. “This town hall gives everyone the chance to meet the vendors and share their thoughts on what a first-class parking operation looks like for the city.”
