Aurora Converts Second Parking Lot at Route 59 Metra Station to Pay by Plate

After seeing the success of the Cale pay by plate application at the Aurora Transportation Center, the City went ahead and converted the larger Route 59 Metra station parking lot. The sixteen Cale CWT parking terminals installed by Total Parking Solutions, Inc. are in operation in six separate banks to accommodate the pedestrian flow of this expansive parking lot. A new payment method is being implemented here for the first time in the U.S., a customer exclusive parking debit card. The “MiFare” card needs only to be presented to the reader, not inserted, making the transaction quicker. Also, the user’s license plate can be programmed onto the card so there’s no need to enter it each time you park. All other payment options remain available; credit card, bills, coins, and pay by phone.

 

New City of Elmhurst Downtown Garage Adds More Cale and Total Parking Solutions, Inc.

A brand new parking facility in downtown was needed to provide more parking for the burgeoning commercial district and the growing number of commuters. Two Cale CWT pay by space terminals were added to the inventory, bringing the total City wide to eleven. These pay stations are all linked via Cale WebOffice, giving parking enforcement officers the ability to access village-wide parking through only one account, much more efficient. Bills, credit cards, coins, and pay by phone are all accepted as forms of payment.

Cicero Commuter Parking Payment Now in 21st Century

Lombard Metra Station Rehab Includes Upgrade to Parking Pay Terminals with TPS

At the start up, commuters were extremely satisfied with the simplicity of the pay stations and the payment options including the Passport pay by phone/app.

 

TPS/Cale Easy Choice for Riverside

Ten years ago, the Village of Riverside selected Total Parking Solutions, Inc. to replace their antiquated Parkeon pay station. Obviously, they were satisfied with the Cale terminal and the service provided by TPS because once again they chose to go that route. Initially, the reason they contacted TPS was to look into adding credit card and pay by phone payment to their existing Cale terminal. However, after seeing the Cale CWT terminal, they decided it was time for new technology. Parking staff now enjoys the efficiency of WebOffice’s remote enforcement and the new features of the CWT.
