over data, show availability and navigation via the FC Parking App,
the payment options via the mobile app and pay stations. We have
completed over 2500 on street spaces including two parking lots,
installed 1400 sensors in three parking structures, and we have 26
pay stations in those parking structures. What we still have planned
this year about 250 additional spaces and one parking lot. There
has been some delay due to street work and development currently
being done in these areas. We will be installing sensors in the
Mason lot, as they just completed work in that area at the beginning
of this year. On Howes Street, by the City buildings and over by
Willow, we are waiting on that development to be completed. It’s
unsure how many spaces will be available; we are estimating about
200. With all this new development, we have added four new
systems that are providing us data. The new systems are: Passport
Mobile App, Parking Sense (structures), CivicSmart (on street), and
a T2 with Pay Station data. These four systems do not communicate
with each other. Much of this data has been coming to us through
different systems and require us to compile this information together
manually.
Structure Payment Information
• We can sort and filter this data by the location, Civic Center,
Old Town, or Firehouse can be sorted by year, quarter,
month, or day. Also, it can sort by time of day and session
start/finish. Also, through our pay stations and our PassPort,
we can view transaction data, i.e. time of day, payment type,
credit card or cash, and the amount of the transaction. This
gives us is occupancy data. The screen shots you are looking
at is YTD for January 2019 through June 2019 (see
attachment). Over 90% of our customers that are paying in
the structures are hourly payments by credit card through the
Passport Mobile App or through the Pay Station and the other
10% are paying with cash or with a validation code. 53% of
revenue is coming from Civic Center garage (our largest
structure), which has 900 spaces, Old Town is 25% of
revenue with 323 spaces. Mason Lot has 35 spaces and we
only offer payments from 6 pm to 7 am., otherwise, it’s
permitted. Firehouse has 216 spaces.
On-street sensor Graphs
• The information available is Location (zone, street, block),
Space, Date and Hour. This provides us with data on
07/08/2019 – MINUTES Page 3
turnover, occupancy, duration/length of stay, averages and
coming soon, we will be able to get the space type (2-hour,
ADA, Unrestricted) data.
Passport Mobile App – 2019 Information YTD
Parking availability via App
• Passport Mobile App – over 13k people have downloaded the
mobile app since January 2019. 600 are using the Wallet for
adding funds. Passport usage has gone up since January. A
user can view open on-street spaces available and be to see
occupancy at any of the parking structures through this app.
These two maps will become one map eventually.
BI Dashboard
• We are currently working with our vendor to consolidate this
data into one dashboard. This will allow us to see all of the on-
street occupancy and turnover, parking structure occupancy
and turnover, payment transactions, compare revenue,
citations and permits.

by date.
Lorson – this information will be available with the BI Dashboard.
Hill – regarding parking enforcement time adjustments, would like to
see the start and end time of when enforcement is out and see the
data to determine what times is best to have enforcement out.
