Decision details
Virtual car park season tickets contract
Decision Maker: Director of Economy and Place (Historic)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To utilise Ringo (the cashless provider) to
provide season ticketing on council car parks. Customers will pay
Ringo directly for this service, as they do with other parking
sessions on the following rates (where taken up by the
council):
• Monthly (7 days p/w) £1.40
• Quarterly £2.00
• Annual £3.20
The virtual season tickets will increase security by significantly
reducing the risk of fraud by copying or amending permits, and
restrict use to one vehicle per permit. They will also increase the
flexibility to be able to be offered as currently monthly permits
are not available (due to processing costs) and therefore these can
be an expensive one off purchases for some.
Ringo will deliver this service using the existing infrastructure
in place for cashless parking payments.
Delivering season tickets through this platform will be at zero
cost to the council saving and reduce the processing of paper
permits.
