On/Off Metered Spaces $2,138,499 $2,561,051 $ 422,552 $11,034,998 $12,111,804 $1,076,806
Total Metered Spaces $2,138,499 $2,561,051 $ 422,552 $11,034,998 $12,111,804 $1,076,806
These amounts include revenue from Parkmobile Transactions.
Meter Revenue: Meter revenue is composed of both single space and multi space meters on the
streets and in lots as well as multi space meters located inside the City Hall and 42" Street Garages.
Meter revenue variances are driven by many variables which include, but are not limited to, road
and sidewalk construction, closed streets and site oh events held in the City. Also, the proliferations of
Transportation Network Entities [TNE] such as Uber and Lyft have impacted parking demand
citywide. Unfortunately, TNE impact is difficult, if not impossible to quantify due to it being
proprietary data. When compared to the prior year, the increase in revenue was due to citywide
activity associated with the Superbowl.
Historical On-Street Meter Curbside Utilization: The meter hourly rate increase in Oct 2015
has adjusted parking habits by directing parking into oft-street lot and garages. On-street curbside
parking utilization has stabilized with every year following the new hourly rate implementation.
Historical Off-Street Meter lot Utilization: The adjustments in parking habits, to off-street
surface lots, have been a positive counter action from the reduction of on-street utilization. The
permanent closure of the P52 Lot for the construction of the Collins Park Garage have contributed to
the reduction in utilization, year-to date.
Historical Attended Off-Street lot Utilization: The increase of on-street meter hourly rates
along with a strong enforcement presence contributed to the higher monthly utilization at the attended
parking lots. The closure of the P-lot in Dec of 2015 and the conversion of the P7lo 24-hour
enforcement contributed to the reduction in attended lot utilization year-to-date. South Pointe Park is
the remaining off-street surface lot that is attended on weekends and during special events.

Permit Sales: The sale of residential and visitor's virtual permits was introduced in fisca l year
2015, allowing residents to purchase residential permits and visitor permits for their guests online. As
part of this progra m, in 2015,the Administration transitioned from set annual or semi-annual periods
for residential permit renewal by zone to renewal periods according to birth month (similar to vehicle
registration renewals) This spread the purchase permit sales over all months versus a set month.
Additionally, before the transition to the new system, residents pre-purchased visitor hangtags from
our customer service center to be used at a later date. The new virtual permit system allows residents
to purchase a virtual visitor permit real time when needed. This eliminated the need to purchase
multiple (paper) permits and it too spread the purchase of the virtual visitor permits over all months
versus a set month. The virtual visitor permits are enforced using LPR technology.
