Digital Payment Technologies to supply parking solutions to Tampa Bay

Burnaby’s Digital Payment Technologies, a company specializing in parking solutions, has secured another contract for their LUKE payment systems, this time with the City of Tampa Bay.

“We selected Digital Payment Technologies because its pay stations represent the best overall solution for the City of Tampa’s residents, merchants and visitors,” said Jim Corbett, parking division manager for the City of Tampa. “There is also a significant benefit for the city in terms of operational efficiency and potential additional revenues. The upgrade is projected to increase city revenue by 10 to 20 percent, or $250,000 per year. This is due to realized operational efficiencies gained in parking meter collections such as removing the need to collect coins daily. Now, parking officials can simply generate an electronic report to view pay station activity.”

The LUKE multi-space pay station has multiple payment options including coins, bills, credit cards, smart cards, and Pay-by-Phone. They are capable of running off of conventional hook-ups to the city’s power grid, or using solar power (which I hear Florida has a steady supply of). The LUKE pay stations will replace approximately 1,000 of the city’s existing 1,425 single-head meters.
