Stará Ľubovňa & ParkDots

The town of Stará Ľubovňa lacked a comprehensive parking policy. Parking was not regulated, the streets were full of parked cars and there were often situations that made it difficult for inhabitants to move around the town. That is why we set to work together to make parking more efficient.

Background

The town of Stará Ľubovňa has faced a significant challenge. The town centre was filled with parked vehicles, which belonged to the employees of local businesses, right from the early hours. The residents of the town and visitors had no free spaces to park their vehicles, and short-term parking was practically impossible during the day. Another problem was also the town’s zero income from parking, which would help to cover maintenance costs.

Objectives:

  • creation of a reliable and long-term functioning parking management system,
  • effective parking solution, which would be welcomed by the residents,
  • innovative and intuitive payment methods,
  • increasing the payment discipline of drivers,
  • elimination of the problem with vehicles parked all day long,
  • simplifying administrative procedures for the municipality,
  • digitisation of procedures related to the issuance of residential permits,
  • better parking monitoring system.

What they said about us

“We have been looking for a reliable and efficient system that would enable us to introduce parking regulation in our town. The cooperation with PosAm has been at a very high and professional level since the beginning. We appreciated the proactive approach and expertise at every stage of the implementation of the system.

An important aspect in deciding on a system supplier was the user interface. The ParkDots application is intuitive, and its simple operation is praised by town residents as well as administrative staff in our office.

Thanks to the innovative solution, we have accurate data on the functioning of the parking policy, effective monitoring tool and a source of information for further development. Parking permit applications are currently being processed on-line. We can verify the approval and validity of a specific parking permit in real time and provide quality services to the residents.

Before the launch of the system, there were concerns how the town’s residents would accept the digitisation and complete abolition of physical parking cards. People have got used to the whole process being digital and welcomed the benefits of this solution. On the other hand, the town no longer has to deal with the printing and distribution of cards. A big advantage is also the elimination of the problem with their counterfeiting.

Some of us were afraid of how the integration of other, already functioning systems will work. Alignment with the SMS payment provider has been seamless and it works smoothly.

Working with PosAm and using the ParkDots platform is the solution our town needed.”
