Cities such as Washington DC, Chicago and others have initiated programs to allow drivers pay for their parking through their mobile phones. Some cities, have even contemplated removing the parking meters, reducing their numbers to a select minimum number spots to ensure cash-only customers can still find a space.

This report suggests that we are still a long way off from seeing the disappearance of the parking meter, but that progress is rapid in development of smart parking solutions. Parking operators will see considerable cost savings from smart parking, while connected consumers will likely become accustomed to paying more for parking in exchange for added convenience of automated electronic payment and guidance to available parking spots. It is estimated that nearly 30% of urban congestion is created by drivers cruising for parking. Uncertainties that generate such congestion include searching for on-street parking availability, facility availability, and cost-comparison shopping between parking alternatives, which are all complicated by the need to minimize walking distance or make timely appointments or connections.
