The SPOTS Parking App aims to help drivers find available street parking more efficiently. It partners with Google Maps and the Philadelphia Parking Authority to provide real-time parking data and rewards users. The app guides users to available spots near their destination to save time and reduce emissions from circling for parking. A prototype was created and the project outlines financial plans, risks, and solutions. Market research and further development are needed before a full launch in 2017-2019.
