Parking machines in Leer: Digital retrofitting for more comfort and savings!

Leer, Deutschland - The cities empty and Hilden upgrade their parking machines and rely on modern payment methods. In Leer, the urban parking machines will be equipped with an EC card payment option in the future. The administrative committee under Mayor Claus-Peter Horst has decided to retrofit to offer drivers more comfort and at the same time reduce the costs of emptying the machines. The conversion is estimated at 30,000 euros and comprises a total of 30 robust machines that have so far only made any change or payment via an app, such as nwzonline reported.

Digitization is also promoted in Hilden: the main committee and the city council have similar plans for 19 parking ticket machines in the city center. Here the cash payment is abolished and instead an NFC interface for card payment is installed. A park app is also offered that enables users to pay parking fees in real time. The city hopes that this step not only hopes for higher income, but also a simplification of the administration and a reduction in personnel effort for the emptying of the machines. These measures bring savings of at least 38,300 euros per year, which could quickly amortize the conversion, as deinhilden.de reported.

Through these reforms, both cities focus on efficiency and user -friendliness. Responsibility for the operation and the introduction of the new systems is partially transferred to external digital platforms such as "smart parking", which is intended to change the conversion more smoothly. While older generations continue to prefer cash payments, the city administration shows optimism that these users will also quickly adapt to the new systems. Both cities are now faced with the challenges of making political decisions in order to implement the changes promptly.
