The city of Sausalito, California, has deployed 4024 Streetline’s smart parking platform, including its free smartphone app, Parker, giving the city's residents and visitors real-time insight for finding open parking spaces in this picturesque waterfront community.

Available for iPhone, Android or compatible tablet, users see an instant map showing real-time availability of 530+ spaces along local streets and in parking lots, with icons noting more than four spaces available (plenty of parking available), more than two spaces available (some parking), or less than two spaces available (limited parking). The app also delivers information about parking space time limits, pricing, and whether meters take credit cards or coins.

"Located just north of San Francisco, Sausalito is known for its many beautiful views and scenic hillside locations. Due to the limited parking availability during summer weekends, special events and holidays, Streetline's guided parking app 'Parker' is an invaluable service for visitors and residents of Sausalito to find downtown parking," said Sausalito Police Lieutenant Kurtis Skoog. "Streetline's Parker' app will let both residents and visitors know exactly where they can find downtown parking and eliminate the need to drive from lot-to-lot looking for an open space."

Streetline's patented smart parking platform detects the presence of a car through a network of ultra-low power wireless sensors located in individual parking spaces. By accessing real-time parking availability via Parker, motorists can quickly and easily find and pay for available parking based on location, time limit, and price, while significantly decreasing emissions produced while searching for the perfect parking spot.
