Richton Park Turns to Total Parking Solutions, Inc & Cale for Metra Commuter Lot Solution

The Village of Richton Park, IL has selected to install Cale multi-space meters into their Metra commuter parking lot. The installation will consist of five Pay by Space terminals and will accept coins, bills and a community parking debit card. The installation of the Pay by Space terminals is one part of a complete parking overhaul at the commuter station approved by the board for the Village. The current "pay as you exit" system will be eliminated due to the many operational and equipment issues posed by this aging system. Total Parking Solutions, Inc will be renumbering and resigning the daily fee commuter-parking areas for Richton Park. The parking debit card will be sold at the Metra station in a card-vending terminal with a preloaded value on the card. The customer will be able to reload value to the cards at any of the parking terminals. This new system will greatly increase the efficiency of enforcement and provide a secure and accurate means of collection of the funds. The terminals will also provide parking patrons with a receipt as proof of payment and will eliminate the long exit lines at the commuter lot during peak periods. Total Parking Solutions, Inc. was chosen for their overall commitment to servicing their customers, their professionalism and the reliability of the Cale equipment. The units are slated for activation in March '07.
