Virginia Beach Teams with eleven-x to Deploy Data-Driven eXactpark Smart Parking Initiative

Integrated with the eXactnav real-time wayfinding app, this program enhances mobility and  promotes a positive driver experience within the community. 

WATERLOO, Ontario, December,10 2025 – eleven-x®, a leader in smart parking and curbside  management solutions, today announced a smart parking initiative with the City of Virginia Beach, VA which is designed to improve the parking experience for drivers while helping  parking managers understand how their parking is being used. With the recent launch of the eXactpark™ solution, the city has begun collecting data from more than 1,000 parking spaces  located within their new Oceanfront parking garage. The goal of the project is to better  understand parking behavior to improve the overall parking experience for the city’s 450,000  residents and over fourteen million annual visitors. 

The initiative is focused on serving drivers in a busy area located between the city’s ocean front  Boardwalk and the Virginia Beach Convention Center which includes restaurants, retail  businesses and accommodations for residents and visitors. Real-time data collected through the  eXactpark solution will enable the implementation of digital displays and the eXactnav™ app (iOS, Android), to help drivers quickly locate available spaces in the garage, saving time and  reducing the search for available parking. 

The City of Virginia Beach expects the project to deliver multiple benefits, including:

  • Improved Traffic Flow: Reduces congestion caused by drivers searching for parking,  particularly during peak summer tourist months. 
  • Enhanced Visitor Experience: Helps visitors find spaces quickly, improving their  experience and encouraging repeat visits. 
  • Economic Benefits: Optimizes existing parking infrastructure, boosting revenue, and  supporting local businesses by providing convenient customer access. 
  • Environmental Impact: Lowers emissions from idling vehicles and supports the city’s  sustainability goals. 
  • Data-Driven Decisions: Provides accurate, true occupancy data to generate actionable  insights for planning, infrastructure investments, and resource allocation. 
  • Support for Smart City Initiatives: Demonstrates the city’s commitment to leveraging  innovative solutions that enhance residents’ quality of life. 

City officials are already seeing the value of the solution. “The data we’ve begun collecting  through eXactpark is revealing important trends in how and when spaces within the garage are  being used,” said Casi Hansford, Parking Operations Supervisor at the City of Virginia Beach.  “The benefits of this solution are already helping us in many ways including reducing  congestion due to searching and providing valuable analytics and insights which will help in  terms of planning for future infrastructure, all while improving the day-to-day experience for  residents and visitors.” 

“Virginia Beach is one of the most vibrant coastal cities in the U.S., and we’re proud to help  deliver a modern parking experience that reduces congestion, supports local businesses, and  advances their smart city goals,” said Dan Mathers, CEO, eleven-x. “With eXactpark, the city is  setting a benchmark for how parking technology and data-driven solutions can create  meaningful improvements for residents, visitors, and the community as a whole.”

The city was able to streamline procurement of eXactpark™ through Sourcewell, which  empowers public agencies with cooperative contracts, expertise, and resources to meet  evolving community needs. 

As the second eXactpark deployment of its kind in the state, building on the pioneering program in Arlington County, the project highlights the state’s continued leadership in adopting innovative  mobility solutions that enhance quality of life and support long-term growth.
