A parking operator has decided that the time has come to make the changeover from Digital to Cale. Over the past several decades, because the programming capabilities of Digital machines met the varied rate structures that operators require, parking operators went with Digital. However, since the introduction of the Cale CWT and WebOffice 2, they have another option. In February, Peoples Parking and T.P.S. agreed to conduct a one-month trial of a CWT at one of their garages. After only one week, a purchase order was issued for six units. Programming rates for the likes of the South Loop could now be accomplished and parking operators can appreciate the autonomous operation of Cale pay stations and exceptional service from Total Parking Solutions. The Village of Oak Park Expands Multi-Space Meters to On-Street Parking On-street parking in the Village of Oak Park has finally caught up with their off-street program. A contract has been awarded to T.P.S. to install and service twenty-nine Cale CWT pay stations beginning this summer. The Village has allocated funds to replace their 1,500 single space meters over the next five years (twenty-five machines annually) until completed. The pay stations will operate as pay by plate and are to be integrated with a soon to be selected LPR system. This full upgrade of their operation will eliminate countlesshours of manpower and make parking enforcement completely seamless. With a New Boat Launch in McHenry Comes TPS and Cale The City of McHenry needed to provide access for boaters to the Fox River. To offset the expense of the new boat launch and parking lot, they decided that charging for the boat trailer parking would be the easiest. A Cale CWT was installed adjacent to the launch where, after dropping their boat into the water, they can pay to park their vehicle and trailer with cash or credit cards, display their receipt and get on the water. Residents of McHenry are given a discounted rate by way of a code they can enter on the keypad as they pay. Credit card payments are real time and are automatically deposited daily into the City's account.
