COLUMBUS EXPERIENCES
19
• 41.1 million visitors annually spending $7 billion
• 25,000+ surveys completed, and parking issues were
identified as a topic for further research and action
• 2015: started a parking committee with Downtown parking
garage owners and the City
• 2016: partnered on City of Columbus Smart City Challenge
application team
• 2017-2018: assisted EPM through working group,
reviewing documents (previous versions of the ConOps),
providing contacts and special briefings

CURRENT PARKING CONDITIONS
• City manages on-street parking network; off-street
100% privately managed
• Abundant supply; challenged by location/ wayfinding
and varying rates/access
• On-street metered system is fragmented, inconsistent;
rates don't promote turnover

Assistant Director for
Parking Services

SHORT NORTH PARKING PLAN
• To be implemented January
• Creates consistent parking management
and enforcement strategy
• Uses demand-based pricing for
on-street meters
• Supports continued growth and
development of the Short North

MODERNIZATION PROGRAM
Virtual permit parking
• “By plate" environment that eliminates
stickers, hangtags
License plate recognition
• Creates enforcement efficiencies and data
to continually optimize plan
Mobile payment
• Platform that supports meter payments,
mobile pay only zones and a guest permit
parking solution

DEPLOYMENT CONCEPT OVERVIEW

EPM Central System
• Components
• Functionality
Facilities
• 40,000+ spaces in parking garages
• 30,000+ spaces in surface lots
(estimated)
• 4,300 parking meters
• 130 loading zones

PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Finding parking options in the
Downtown and Short North
area is difficult even with the
aid of the multiple parking
applications currently
available.
Source: Experience Columbus Source: iStockphotos
26 26
CHALLENGES
• No single source of information
for parking options,
reservations, or payments
• No notice of parking meter
availability
• City personnel and parking
operators are unable to access
a comprehensive view into
current parking facilities and
parking meter usage data

27 27
SOLUTION: ONE STOP SHOP FOR PARKING
• A single place to research,
plan and pay for parking.
• Travelers won’t have to search
multiple sites for information on
parking options.
Source: City of Columbus
* Driver strongly encouraged to be parked
safely before using phone application
28 28
SOLUTION: REAL-TIME PARKING INFORMATION
• Traveler: parking information in
real time
• Garage and surface lot
attendants: flexibility to make
changes to pricing for events.
• City and Parking Operators:
Usage data can assist in
parking management and
parking policy.

29 29
SOLUTION: CONNECTION TO PARKING METERS
• Use predictive analytics to
determine parking meters and
loading zone availability

Owners and Operators
HOW WE ENGAGED

34
Expected Users:
• 81% of participants were in favor of a mobile and web application to create a
centralized location for parking information and said they would use it.
• The top three features requested by participants were:
o A map of parking options
o Cost information on parking options
o Number of available spaces
WHAT WE LEARNED
35
Local parking owner/operator and industry research:
• Reliability of data is most critical (quality matters more than quantity)
• There are 24/7 needs to accommodate a range of audience types
• No parking application currently on the market meets all of the needs
• All of those interviewed expressed interest in participating in a Smart Columbus
parking solution; many expressed being very interested and excited.
WHAT WE LEARNED
36
• Smart City Challenge: Unified private and public interests in parking
• Smart City Challenge: Systems engineering process not designed for
speed to market
• Communication & Engagement: When working with stakeholders that
have vested interest, communication is key
• Coordination and dependencies add time: EPM ties into the Common
Payment System and the City’s parking meter system, as well as, other City
parking projects. This can add time and coordination challenges.
