Paid Parking Systems for Downtown National City

The City of National City is seeking proposals to implement paid parking technology solutions on select streets within Downtown National City, starting with a pilot program covering approximately 100 to 200 on-street parking spaces. If the pilot proves successful, there is potential for expansion to include up to 1,000 parking spaces. The focus is exclusively on on-street parking, including both parallel and angle parking, with no plans to incorporate parking structures or surface lots at this stage. The City is open to various innovative paid parking systems such as smart meters, pay-by-plate stations, and mobile payment platforms, provided they can seamlessly integrate with the City’s existing Parking Citation Service Provider, Data Ticket, Inc. Additionally, the City is in the process of retrofitting its enforcement vehicles with License Plate Reader technology, which has been used successfully for a decade, and will prioritize systems compatible with LPR integration. The solicitation, titled "Paid Parking Systems for Downtown National City," was posted on August 28, 2025, with a response deadline of October 6, 2025. The project is estimated to have a contract value ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000.
