Innovation Pilot Partner: Just Park

Parking is a key factor influencing how people use and experience city centre amenities and attractions. Encouraging increased use of digital payment platforms provides an opportunity to offer flexible and targeted benefits to support new parking policies, more efficient enforcement and better respond to different user needs.

Many cities like Dundee are also increasingly committing to ‘go cashless’, using the shift to mobile phone-based payment platforms as an opportunity to reduce the higher costs associated with running cash-based payment infrastructure.

JustPark is trialling a range of innovative new services to help increase the uptake of cashless parking in Dundee and deliver additional benefits to drivers, the council and the wider city. This will be the first time the company has piloted these services.

This includes a pay-on-exit and auto pay which integrates with existing multi-storey car park barrier systems to charge people automatically for only the parking which they have used. This can be further extended, through parking policy, to additional locations and scenarios.
