The city of Indianapolis has selected Affiliated Computer Services (13 ACS), a Xerox Company, to overhaul its public parking system. What is claimed as a unique public-private-partnership (PPP) is expected to raise more than US$600 million for the city during the 50-year agreement. ACS will replace the antiquated coin-operated meters beginning in early 2011 and simplify parking by introducing new meters that accept credit cards and, eventually, payments by cell phone. Initially the project calls for ACS to modernise and maintain 3,600 metered parking spaces.

ACS has assembled a team of experienced parking professionals which includes Denison Global Parking and Evens Time, both of Indianapolis, with experience delivering parking management products and services locally and around the world.

“Parking management is becoming increasingly difficult for cities due to budgetary constraints and competition for limited resources,” said David Amoriell, ACS group president of Transportation Solutions. “ACS and its local partners bring more than 180 years of combined parking management expertise and modern technology to help Indianapolis provide residents with intelligent transportation systems that yield convenience, jobs and revenue.”
