DESCRIPTION


The issuing agency is seeking information from qualified vendors regarding a cloud-based parking access and revenue control modernization system. The solution should provide a state-of-good-repair platform that integrates with the agency’s broader fare and payment ecosystem and supports parking operations for public entities, municipalities, airport authorities, private parking operators, mixed-use developments, and commercial parking providers.

The envisioned system should support multiple payment methods, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit and debit cards, and contactless payments, while enabling open payment capabilities. The modernization effort is expected to include replacement of existing pay stations with modern units featuring digital displays, deployment of license plate recognition capabilities, and evaluation of merchant-based transit rewards and loyalty program models similar to retail loyalty ecosystems. Potential partnerships may include backend vendors and payment processors that support targeted promotions and merchant relationships.

A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 17, 2026. Vendors must submit all questions by August 19, 2026. Responses to the request for information are due September 14, 2026.
