Passport continues to expand its product offering to new and existing clients during the first half of 2022. Denver, Colorado, Sound Transit, Washington and Thunder Bay, Ontario are newly added to the company's client roster.
The Charlotte-based company provides all customers with a platform that aggregates all of a city's parking, enforcement, and digital permitting data into one central location, and it also integrates additional data insights with embedded payments capabilities. Customers are able to manage mobility management complexities in one place to make data driven decisions that improve their overall operations.
"We are dedicated to providing our clients with the data and insights they need to make their streets safer and their curbs easier to manage," said CEO David Evans.
First half wins include the Nebraska Innovation Campus (NIC), located in Lincoln, Nebraska. The NIC selected Passport to manage their complete parking operations and has launched mobile pay parking, enforcement, digital permitting, and payments. The parking manager for NIC can now access insights and data via Passport's platform and provide a better user experience for its parkers as well as drive higher parking compliance rates.
Another client, Kansas City, Missouri, is partnering with Passport on a brand refresh to their mobile pay application, PARK KC, as a means to continue to drive adoption and provide an improved parking experience throughout the city.
"Because of our partnership with Passport, we continue to bring innovative technology to our streets," said Matthew Muckenthaler, Kansas City parking division manager. "The data and insights we are able to get from Passport's platform allows us to make more informed decisions at the curb so we can operate more efficiently and optimize the user experience."
