Several years ago, in an effort to make life easier for staff and their commuters, the Village of Cary went from honor boxes to electronic pay stations. Since then, there have been some major technological advances in parking equipment, especially by companies like Cale.
So in taking the next step the Village is replacing the antiquated pay stations at the west depot with Cale Compact XL's. The pay stations will accept coins, bills, credit cards and will be integrated to Pay by Phone/App.
TPS and Cale were chosen over several other vendors that submitted bids. Cale/Parkmobile Partnership Takes Off Since the first Parkmobile Pay by Phone application went live in Barrington November 2010, other TPS customers have quickly lined up to add this utility to their commuter parking payment option repertoire. Crystal Lake, Hinsdale, Forest Park are already on board with Downers Grove, Orland Park, and Oak Lawn going live sometime in April 2011.
