What is the Open Market parking model?

The open market model revolutionizes the parking experience. It enables multiple parking providers to compete against each other in the same area, allowing drivers to choose the provider that best suits their needs – convenience, unique features, user experience, and value. Creating an infrastructure for parking payments that benefit drivers – no matter where they park. With an open market parking model it frees cities from the limitations of the traditional procurement model, allowing for innovation and improved customer experience.
