Your Meter is Expired: New technology curbs expired meters via mobile phones
Drivers in Las Vegas no longer need to scrounge around for change to load parking meters thanks to a new system that enables drivers to pay their parking fees and avoid parking tickets using their mobile phones. Irvine, Calif.- based Reino Enforcement Technologies has deployed 15 multi-space parking meters, covering 150 on-street parking spaces in downtown LasVegas equipped with micropayments technology. The mPARK service enables motorists to register their credit card information and mobile phone number via a toll-free phone service or over their website. That information is then used to deduct meter fees and notify users 10 minutes prior to their meter expiring via a mobile phone text message. Registered users then have the option of reloading money onto their accounts via their mobile phones.
