UPDATE
University upgrades METRO Pay and Display meters to Pay by Plate operation, increasing efficiency and eliminating “piggybacking” of parking by others. The simple upgrade now requires a parking customer to enter their vehicle license plate during payment. Plate information is then printed on the pay and display receipt and cannot be used by another vehicle. Vehicle payment and plate information is also transmitted in real-time to the Ezicom back office system for remote monitoring and compliance checking.
Penn State University Harrisburg selects Global Parking Solutions to replace aging parking meters with new solar-powered METRO Pay and Display pay station meters. Meters communicate wirelessly to the Ezicom back office system allowing real-time monitoring of the meters.
