Metric Parking supplies 135 car parking ticket terminals to Hoboken, New Jersey
Leading parking kiosk manufacturer becomes a well-known player in the U.S.

Mount Laurel, NJ, August 16, 2011 – Metric Parking which has been producing machines for the parking industry for over 30 years has just been awarded a contract with Hoboken, NJ  for 135 Aura Pay and Display parking machines . After a successful pilot project last year of 10 machines, the city saw a 30% increase in revenue and additional parking spaces. These spaces were created by moving from the traditional single space meters to pay and display. Hoboken found that they are fitting two to three more cars on a given block. Nearly half of all transactions are cash less using credit cards. Additional revenue was captured that was previously lost to broken meters.

The city with more than 50,000 inhabitants is located close to New York. Installation work is scheduled to begin in a few weeks’ time. The new parking kiosks of the Metric’s proven Aura model are solar powered and equipped with different payment options. Customers can pay in cash with coins, using debit or credit cards, and chip cards. A payment by phone service can also be installed at a later date.

Last year, Metric completed the installation of more than 1,000 parking kiosks with comprehensive back-office software in the city of Philadelphia. Metric has established itself in the U.S. as a well-known supplier of modern car parking kiosks. Metric have installed more than 60,000 parking machine in over 45 countries worldwide.
