POM Awarded Parking Meter Contract in New Haven, Connecticut

The meters will be equipped to accept Parcxmart cards, a merchant-driven electronic payment solution for small dollar transactions, already in circulation in New Haven. Other features include POMs signature high-visibility enforcement signal and the ability to upgrade to vehicle detection and wireless network. POM is a privately owned American company descended from the inventor of the parking meter and today specializes in single- to four-space electronic parking meters. The New Haven award comes after a 2-phase RFP, successful pilot installation, and delivery negotiations to accommodate the citys new rate increase to roll out July 1, 2006.
