City of Ottawa
The Client
The is the capital city of Canada, and is nestled within the province of Ontario. It is the fourth-largest urban region in the country, with over 1.4 million Canadians calling the city home. Known as both an English and French-speaking region, the City of Ottawa is renowned for its world-class research centres, academic institutions and international business operations.
The Challenges
Before partnering with Precise ͵ÅÄ͵¿ú, the City of Ottawa had no existing procurement contract with a parking provider. The parking infrastructure was being managed solely by the city themselves, posing a series of challenges such as regular maintenance and technical difficulties. The existing coin-based parking technology throughout the city made it difficult to monitor the performance of on- and off-street parking throughout the city.
The Solutions
As the City of Ottawa’s managed parking service and technology provider for over ten years, Precise ͵ÅÄ͵¿ú has supplied, installed and continues to manage the city’s parking infrastructure, allowing them to meet and exceed their resident and visitor-focused parking needs. Because of this, in October 2020, the council unanimously approved a 5-year extension of the procurement contract. Ottawa’s investment in over 700 pay-and-display parking meters for both on- and off-street parking, secure revenue processing, collection, replenishment and reporting, and a maintenance and technical support package to sustain their parking equipment have proven to and will continue to be successful for years to come.
