ID TECH & T2 Systems - The Parking Dynamic Duo

Addressing Parking Industry Needs

Over the last several years, a noticeable shift has occurred within the parking industry. As cities continue to grow and more vehicles hit the road, the need for modern parking solutions is greater than ever. Municipalities, airports, universities, and hospitals are having to rethink their current parking offerings and adjust accordingly as the landscape of technology and payments continues to broaden.

For example, take a look at the City of Lancaster – the Lancaster Parking Authority (LPA) has a long history with T2. To consolidate PARCS solutions to one vendor, LPA was also able to take advantage of ID TECH’s VP6825 payment solution to position their city for the inevitable growth they are seeing with both resident and transient parkers. Key results include:

• 165,000+ transactions processed between February and July 2025
• Processing 30,000+ transactions per month
• Faster vehicle throughput at exits due to quick, mobile, and contactless payment options
• Reduced downtime thanks to the VP6825’s robust offline payment capabilities
• Streamlined payment reconciliation through automated API processes

Ibrahim Aman, Deputy Executive Director of LPA, says, “With ID TECH and T2 Systems PARCS, our customers appreciate the ease of paying via multiple payment options, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit card via Tap or Chip Insert.”

LPA enhanced operational efficiency and patron satisfaction by adopting a secure, reliable, and modern PARCS system with T2 Systems and ID TECH.

 

Partnership in Focus

ID TECH is a well-known leader in the payments industry, having established a reputation of reliable and innovative payment solutions over the span of 40 years, so it was only fitting to team up with T2 Systems, a parking industry leader since 1994, to deliver new and exciting parking payment solutions that will help set the standard in parking for years to come.

“Being able to partner with a parking industry giant like T2 was vital to our own growth and influence in this market,” said Mike Huges, VP of Integrated Payments at ID TECH. “Many of their core values align with that of our own, making this partnership even more seamless. We were thrilled to explore a collaboration with them.”

With a focus on security, user experience, durability, and scalability, T2 Systems felt that ID TECH would be the perfect partner to team up with for what they wanted to accomplish in the parking sector.

To address the parking industry’s specific needs, ID TECH and T2 Systems teamed up to provide cutting-edge parking payment technology. By implementing the VP6825, ID TECH’s latest payment terminal from the NEO 3 Platform of Products, into T2 System’s Logan PARCS, this parking dynamic duo delivers an all-in-one solution across multiple parking environments.

“With ID TECH, we knew what we were getting – a proven partner that stands by their products, and with the release of their latest payment solutions, the NEO 3 Platform of Products hitting the market, we understood there was an opportunity to team up for something great,” said James Fedor, Senior Product Manager at T2 Systems. “Working with ID TECH has been exceptional — they understand the demands of high-volume, unattended environments, and their NEO 3 hardware platform provides the flexibility, reliability, and payment security our customers require along with a future-ready path to contactless-only supporting both operational efficiency and sustainability. Together, we’re setting a new bar for what parking systems can deliver.”
