PRESS RELEASE – Joint partnership offers convenience and congestion relief for San Francisco drivers.

Since the technology services offered by companies like Streetline are no more expensive, and often cheaper, than the upkeep of old-fashioned coin meters, smart parking management is starting to catch on.

During the busy lunch hour, downtown Redwood City was gridlocked, with cars orbiting the block in search of one of the few prime parking spots, while just a half block away, a four-level garage was never full. So the city is trying something new: installing meters that charge more for the best spots.
