New Parking Structure Equipment Coming Soon
Big changes are in the works at Birmingham’s parking structures. The City is evaluating the current system and will soon recommend new equipment for all five of the city’s structures.
Concerns with the current parking structure equipment include: traffic backups, loss of internet connection, long response time for those requesting assistance, long monthly permit wait list, capacity issues, and the equipment is not user-friendly. New cloud-based, maintenance free equipment being considered offers user-friendly contactless entry with options such as text to pay, scan a QR code to pay, pre-purchase passes, etc. The city's goal is to create an easy-in, easy-out experience for all parkers.
