The Problem: Outdated Systems Drain Revenue and Frustrate the Public

Traditional municipal parking operations struggle with aging parking meters, manual enforcement, and disconnected systems. City staff spend hours on permit management while revenue leaks through broken equipment and inconsistent enforcement. Airport parking lots face similar challenges: long queues, lost parking tickets, and static hourly rates that fail to capture peak demand.

Public parking spaces in a downtown area require constant monitoring. On-street parking and off-street parking enforcement is labor-intensive. Parking structures built decades ago were never designed for modern traffic volumes. The result? Frustrated residents, lost revenue, and parking services that cannot keep pace with demand.

Common Pain Points We Solve

  • Revenue loss from broken parking meters and manual cash collection
  • Inconsistent enforcement of time limits and parking regulations across parking locations
  • Long lines and congestion at airport parking decks and surface lots
  • Inefficient permit holder management for monthly parking and resident parking permits
  • Lack of real-time data on parking space availability and occupancy
  • High labor costs for city staff managing public parking lots

The Solution: Parkify by National Parking

National Parking’s software, Parkify, replaces outdated municipal parking systems with a single, cloud-based platform. From your busiest municipal parking garage to remote surface lots, Parkify automates enforcement, optimizes parking rates, eliminates cash, and accepts payments via credit card, online payment, or scan-to-pay QR codes with no app download required.

Our AI-powered enforcement system uses license plate recognition to monitor every vehicle entering and exiting your parking facility. Violations are flagged automatically, parking tickets are generated digitally, and repeat offenders are tracked by license plate number. No more manual patrols or missed violations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Parkify handle monthly parking permits and resident parking permits?

Parkify manages all permit types digitally. Monthly permit holders register their license plate number through an online portal. The system validates their vehicle automatically at entry and exit. City staff can issue, renew, or revoke permits instantly without physical decals or hang-tags. Permit holders receive automatic renewal reminders and can update their vehicle information online.

Can Parkify enforce time limits and parking regulations on public parking spaces?

Yes. The license plate recognition system tracks how long each vehicle remains in a parking space. When a vehicle exceeds the posted time limit, the system flags a violation and can automatically generate a parking ticket with photo evidence. This eliminates the need for manual chalk-and-patrol enforcement across municipal parking lots and on-street parking zones.

What payment methods do drivers use at municipal parking garages and airport parking lots?

Drivers can pay via QR code scan or text-to-pay using credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. No app download is required. For monthly parking, permit holders can set up automatic payments. The system also supports daily maximum rates, hourly rates, and special event pricing. All payments are tracked in real time through the cloud-based software dashboard.

How does dynamic pricing work for airport and downtown parking?

Parkify’s AI pricing software analyzes real-time occupancy, historical patterns, and local events to adjust parking rates automatically. During high-demand periods like holiday travel or major events, rates increase to maximize revenue. During slower periods, rates decrease to attract more vehicles and fill available parking spaces.

Is there an upfront cost for hardware and installation?

No. Parkify operates with zero CapEx. National Parking covers all hardware, cameras, signage, and software. We handle installation and provide ongoing support. You pay only a share of revenue or a flat monthly fee, depending on your facility’s needs. View pricing details.

Can Parkify integrate with existing parking structures and gated environments?

Yes. Parkify works with both gateless and gated environments. For existing parking garages with barrier arms, Parkify integrates with your current infrastructure while adding license plate recognition and digital payment capabilities. For new installations, gateless operations eliminate expensive gate equipment entirely.
