PARKING METER INVENTORIES
for Cities, Municipalities & Counties

As cities grow and the demand for parking rises, the parking meter stands out as an important part of revenue generation.

Parking meters generate millions of dollars annually to the cities and municipalities who own them, if they are in working order.

Are you getting the most revenue out of the parking meters your city or county owns?



Why is a parking meter inventory significant?
• Due to high utilization, parking meters require an effective preventive maintenance plan, including regular inspection, meter replacement and refurbishment.

• Inoperable meters quickly erode parking revenues. Each day a meter is broken is a day more money is lost.

The benefits of a parking meter inventory
Maintenance schedules can focus on high revenue meters to get the most out of city assets.

The resulting benefits are not only increased revenue, but also neighborhood improvement.

Well-maintained streets and meters add to a nicer place for people to live and work.
