Leader in Curb Management Supports Compliance and Enforcement to Alleviate Curbside Congestion when City of Omaha Doubles in Size

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Passport, the leader in curb management solutions, is partnering with the City of Omaha for parking, enforcement, and compliance. Omaha is the nation’s 40th-most populous city, with nearly 500,000 residents. It is also home to the NCAA Men’s College World Series every June, including this year’s, which starts today and runs through June 24. Last year, the event brought nearly 400,000 attendees to the city.

Passport’s ParkOmaha, which boasts half a million users, saw an 11% increase in total parking sessions and a 136% increase in transaction volume during last year’s World Series event compared to the two weeks prior.

 “Passport ensures our residents and visitors have an easy experience parking at the curb and can focus on enjoying their time in Omaha,” said Hannah Adeponu, Parking and Mobility Manager for the City of Omaha. “During the College World Series, we are offering special event parking rates. In an effort to promote compliance and not penalties, parkers can choose to pay the max parking cost within 24 hours of parking. Passport helps deliver the insights and capabilities we need to evolve as a city to ensure the livability of our community during peak times and throughout the year.”

Passport’s ParkOmaha, which boasts half a million users, saw an 11% increase in total parking sessions and a 136% increase in transaction volume during last year’s World Series event compared to the two weeks prior. With Passport’s Digital Enforcement Solution, cities like Omaha can more easily and effectively manage parking, make data-informed decisions, and maintain compliance. With real-time insights, Passport helps alleviate curb congestion and promotes parking turnover, which is particularly helpful during major events.

“We recognize that cities today need a more modern and flexible compliance platform to make the most of their curb management programs,” said Eleonore Adkins, VP of Client Experience at Passport. “Passport’s real-time enforcement software and integrated parking solutions enable cities with the ability to adapt to changing needs while driving compliance and improved decision-making.”

A recent Passport survey of 20 cities in the U.S. and Canada found that nearly 86% of 2023 parking citations were settled online. Passport’s solution streamlines the citation lifecycle through efficient collection options and connects operations teams with officers on the street for greater insights and optimization. By leveraging Passport’s easy-to-use mobile application with real-time GPS data, including the ability to integrate license plate recognition (LPR) technology for monitoring paid vehicles and time spent at the curb, enforcement officers can operate 4x faster, including issuing a citation in under one minute.

Passport’s suite of solutions includes mobile payments, digital permitting, and its Performance Benchmarking solution, which provides cities with comparative data to evaluate their performance against peers.

Passport empowers more than 800 cities and private operators with the data city planners need to maximize efficiencies. For more information about Passport’s unique approach, visit https://www.passportinc.com/.

Summit of Whose Future? Girls Have the Answers: Leaders Must Listen

Young Women Activists Launch “What Girls Want,” Demand World Leaders Put Girls at the Center of Summit of the Future 

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today in New York, more than 50 young women from around the world – including Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai – gathered to take government to task for failing to prioritize girls and young women in the upcoming Summit of the Future. The group is backed by acoalition of girl-centered non-profit organizations, institutions, and funds who synthesized the demands of girls at www.whatgirlswant.com.

At a demonstration near the UN, alongside life-size cutouts of world leaders dressed ironically as “girl experts”, the activists delivered a strong message: world leaders aren’t the experts on what girls want for their futures – girls are. 

Eylül Erçin, 19, from Türkiye, shared: “The time has passed for girls and young women to be treated as mere afterthoughts. Leaders must include us in the foundational design of these processes, ensuring that our priorities are integrated into shaping the future we will inherit. Anything less is unacceptable.”

Today’s event is about more than calling out a process failure. Girls i from around the world delivered a forward-looking call to action this week. They expect governments, institutions, and community leaders to step up and help shape a more equitable future.

Alongside fellow activists, Malala said: “Even at 27, I know better than to assume I understand best what girls want. Everywhere I go, girls are eager to share their vision for their futures. As adults, it is our job to listen, fund their work and follow their lead. It is not too late for world leaders to do right by girls. They can start by prioritizing their demands in tomorrow’s final Summit deliberations and by investing resources to match their words.”

The evidence is clear: investing in girls and delivering on their rights transforms economies, societies, and the environment, advancing the SDGs and building a future that girls deserve.

About What Girls Want 

This effort was produced by a collaboration of girl-centered organizations, institutions, funders, and allies. The campaign is anchored around work to collate insights, data, and stories from 20+ public consultations with girls and young women over the past decade, driven by a shared desire to center girls’ demands in spaces where they are being ignored.
