Parking In Motion (PIM) was a parking technology company based in Santa Monica, California. Parking In Motion was founded by Sam Friedman (CEO) and Alexander Israel (COO) in 2008.
PIM was a provider of dynamic and real time parking data,[1] which holds partnerships with app developers, map makers, and GPS navigation companies. PIM operates a database containing over 20,000 public parking lots[1][2][3] in over 300 cities.[2][3] These lots cover the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.[2][3]
iPhone App[edit]
PIM's consumer product is an iPhone app, released on April 14, 2011.[5] It allows users to access the PIM database mobily as well as reserve and prepay for parking through affiliates.[6][7][8]
QR Code[edit]
In May 2011, Parking In Motion debuted its QR Code campaign at the International Parking Institute (IPI) conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in its effort to "make parking fun".[9] The campaign utilizes Mobile tagging to try to encourage drivers to use PIM's services and associated lots.
