1. Presented by: DDOT-Office of the Director Terry L. Bellamy Intelligent Parking Management: CityWide Metered Parking Modernization Program and Downtown Virtual Park Washington, DC March 31, 2011

2. 1 Background and Recommendations –Pre-2008: All meters were installed in the late 1990s –Meter Conditions and Complaints As operability decreased over the years, complaints rose Maintenance and collection systems used different handhelds and computer systems DDOT faced an unusable meter inventory –Research and Recommendations Parking technology – Request for Information (RFI) Reviewed nationwide meter deployment Performed extensive field tests of new technology September 2007: Multi-space meter pilot/ Mayor and City Council directed DDOT to conduct multi- space meter pilot District Department of Transportation

3. 2 New Meter Technology District Department of Transportation –2007-2009 Pilot Program Elements Pay Stations Standard Single-space Meters Enhanced Single-space Meters –Key Lessons Learned Credit card capability is extremely valuable Public desires cell phone payment capability Real-time maintenance alerts and electronic payment options will improve revenue 15-20% –2010: New Technology and Rates Central Management System and Parking New Meter Inventory New Meter Rates and Hours

4. 3 Setting Priorities and Goals District Department of Transportation Based on background, recommendations, and New Meter Technology Pilot, the following priority and goals were set. Priority: Modernize Citywide meter parking program Goals: –Upgrade District’s metered parking spaces –Improve Downtown metered parking spaces –Obtain Federally-funded demonstration project –Create an intelligent parking management system

5. 4 Next Step - Procurement District Department of Transportation 1.Procurement may include two RFPs – Citywide metered parking modernization program and Smart Park. When completed, all of the District’s metered parking spaces will incorporate the most current, proven technology. 2.Procurement Considerations a.Benefits of a single RFP for the Citywide Procurement, including Smart Park –Assures compatibility of all system elements –Once contractor is accountable for the entire Parking Management System b.Risks associated with a single RFP –Adds Federal requirements to the Citywide procurement –Increases the probability of schedule slippage and possible loss of Federal funds

6. 5 Citywide RFP Project Scope District Department of Transportation What should the RFP include? –Considerations Recommendations for upgrading the District’s parking meter spaces – approximately 18,000 Implementing sensor technology to gather real time parking data for high demand meter spaces Processing all meter data and vehicle sensor data into a single management system Integrating with Smart Park, an intelligent parking management system for Downtown DC

8. 7 Parking Meters in the District District Department of Transportation 1.Standard Single Meter a.Accepts coins and parking card b.Off-line data retrieval during collection 2.Enhanced Single Space Meters a.Accepts credit card and pay by phone payment options b.Meter status reported on a real time basis 3.Pay Stations for multiple spaces a.Same features as enhanced single space meters b.Best option for lots and angled parking

9. 8 Sensor Technology District Department of Transportation How will sensors improve Meter Parking in the District? –Data Will provide real time occupancy data to the parking management system Will improve accounting, collection, and auditing –Meter Policies –Meter Maintenance –Parking Enforcement

10. 9 Smart Park Integration District Department of Transportation Smart Park = an intelligent parking management system for Downtown DC, which includes 5,500 on-street metered parking spaces. –Project Elements New Parking Meter Technology Vehicle sensors built into parking meters (Due to inclimate weather, in-ground sensors are not recommended.) Data processing to recommend new meter policies, hours of operation, hourly rates, and time limits. Real time parking guidance system –Project Schedule DDOT anticipates that the Smart Park system will be operational before the Citywide parking management system is complete. Notice to proceed milestone – May 15, 2011 Smart Park must be fully operational by December 31, 2010

11. 10 District Architecture Workshop District Department of Transportation Reviewed drafts of customized ITS Services and made extensive markups (e.g. Parking Management

12. 11 Architecture Updates Underway District Department of Transportation DDOT is developing a complete draft of customized services, based on inputs from the workshop.
