The new meter had to be easy to use and fit into the architecture of any streetscape. It had to withstand the day to day toils of high traffic areas. The parking meter had to meet the needs of stakeholders including day to day motorists, parking asset managers amaintenance and installation crews.

  • The NG meter is the perfect solution for progressive cities who want ticketless and cashless parking and a low touch, low friction experience.
