Getting Out & About

RingGo has been used 231,621 times to pay for parking by phone since we introduced it in November 2010
(figures correct to March 2014).

11.4% of all parking transactions represented by Ringo.


Pay for parking by phone

We will continue to provide the successful ‘pay for parking by phone’ system which allows people without change to pay using their mobile phones. It allows cashless parking and the ability to extend a customer’s shopping trip, leisure activity or business meeting without the need to return to the car.

City’s car park discounts

We will continue to deliver initiatives which will offer discounts and improved payment conditions in the city’s car parks for your employees as well as lobbying on reduced charges generally and for events and other special occasions and campaigns such as late night shopping

Footfall data

We will continue to offer BID businesses footfall data and analysis from the 4 counters already installed in the BID area and reports back to you any trends and the impact of events. You can then use these figures along with your own trading data to report any trends or differences.

Promote the parking offer

We will work with Worcester City Council, CrownGate Shopping Centre, NCP and any other provider of car parks deemed necessary to promote the parking offer in Worcester by highlighting the availability, prices relative to similar cities and towns, its security and location.

We will consider the implementation of a model for car park refunds for customers to reward high spending levels in partnership with participating BID businesses.

Fingerpost Signage

We will maintain the BID’s fingerpost signage and interpretation panels installed in the initial BID term to ensure that they are kept to a high standard.
