Continue the test phase of the new parking system called Smart Parkingactive in the city since last Tuesday 22 April. Thanks to five thousand sensors positioned inside the ZTLmotorists have the opportunity to know in real time, through special displays installed in strategic positions, how many there are free stalls in a certain way, thus avoiding turning empty in search of a parking lot. Smart Parking provides three different methods of parking payment, which can take place using different apps (ATM MOV UP, Money Go, Easy Park, Tabnet or Telepass Pay); by fee; or purchasing the parking ticket at authorized dealers. For all three payment methods, it is mandatory to provide the license plate number and the code corresponding to the occupied stall. The innovative system aims to reduce CO2 emissions, with a view to increasingly sustainable and attentive mobility to the environment.

To give answers to the requests of most frequent information from citizens, the transport company has released through its social channels Some FAQs

Smart Parking: how it works for those with residents
Those who reside inside the ZTL and are in possession of the resident pass issued by ATM, can park the car in the reference lot, connecting to the different available apps (ATM MOV UP, Money Go, Easy Park, Tabnet or Telepass Pay) or using the parcometers and inserting, in both cases, the license plate number and the number of the occupied stall. If the car remains parked inside the same stall, even for a period of more than three days, no operation is needed. At this test phase, and on the blackberry that all apps connected to ATM integrates perfectly with the new Smart Parking system even for those who reside inside the ZTL, it is preferable to use the parcometers, which already provide for the recognition of the plates associated with residents. Considering the current experimental phase, by ATM staff responsible for verification, there will be maximum tolerance. To report any critical issues, you can contact ATM’s customer care, calling 800 24 80 80, active from Monday to Saturday, from 7.30 to 19.30; or send an email to the address (email protected) .

Electric or hybrid cars
At this test phase, and on the blackberries that all apps connected to ATM integrate perfectly with the new Smart Parking system also for electric and hybrid cars, it is preferable to use the parks, which already provide for the recognition of the plates associated with the markings issued by ATM for electric and hybrid cars.

Non -visible stall number
When the stall number is not perfectly legible, at this test phase it will be possible to use a random numerical sequence, consisting of four digits (for example 1111). It is not possible to use four consecutive zeros.

Stop people with disabilities
Disabled people in possession of a specific mark will have no obligation to park their car in the blue stalls of the city center.
