On Tuesday, the Town of West Hartford rolled out the WeHa Parking Finder to help residents and visitors find available parking spaces.
“Parking can be challenging, whether heading to a local store, dining out or attending an event. For residents and visitors to West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square who may have experienced this, that will change,” the town said in a statement.
The town has partnered with Modii, a company that specializes in digital parking solutions, to introduce the new technology. Drivers can view parking options based on their destination, access pricing details, pay for parking and more. Drivers can also look for ADA accessible parking spaces or pick-up and drop-off zones and EV charging stations all from their computer or mobile device, according to the company.
“With today’s lifestyle, consumers want information on demand, readily available and catered to their interests. We want consumers to have options accessible at their fingertips when it comes to parking services in West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square,” said Brooke Nelson, operations manager for the Town of West Hartford.
West Hartford Center and Blue Back Squarehave over 5,000 parking spots located curbside, in municipal surface lots and garages, and private lots and garages, according to the town. The area, with its high number of restaurants and shops, is a popular destination in central Connecticut. The integration of the new app is designed to equip drivers with an easily accessible tool that allows them to find parking and limit the stress associated with it, especially in high-traffic areas, according to Modii.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Town of West Hartford to enhance parking and mobility for everyone. As a frequent visitor to West Hartford, I know firsthand that its vibrant mix of shops, restaurants and businesses makes it a prime destination for people across the state. Through this collaboration, we’re not only making parking more convenient for drivers but also equipping city administrators with advanced tools and insights to manage their parking assets more efficiently,” said James Emery , senior vice president of operations and revenue at Modii.
