How Arlington County, VA, Uses Parking Data to Improve Curbside and On-Street Management

A look at how parking data is being applied across the county

Arlington County was looking to improve their curb management while providing an exceptional driver experience by offering better availability insights and pricing tools to influence demand for metered curbspace.

To achieve this, the County was looking for a way to collect accurate data that clearly showed how parking was being used in real-time, as well as historically to directly impact parking programs.

By deploying eXactpark™ from eleven-x, Arlington County has improved parking in the area by:

  • Enabling drivers to find available spaces in real time
  • Offering guidance and wayfinding through a mobile app and street-level signage

  • Providing publicly accessible parking information and historical trend data through a public dashboard

  • Revising pricing and policies based on data-driven decision-making

  • Understanding parking stall usage, including peak occupancy hours and paid parking trends and patterns

  • Improving parking compliance across the County, increasing rates from approximately 30% to 50%

It’s the universe of parking behaviour in actuality, because we have a sensor in every space. We can narrow down to what’s going on in a block if we want to do a micro-analysis, but we also know this whole data set is telling us things, and we can analyze it.”
