Year-end post-acquisition update: maximising Parkopedia data quality and Arrive coverage

Parkopedia was acquired by Arrive (previously EasyPark Group) in early 2025, with the company valuing Parkopedia’s automotive expertise and high-quality extensive global data through rigorous data checking processes. Parkopedia CEO and now General Manager of Automotive & Data at Arrive, Eugene Tsyrklevich, explains how joining Arrive has unlocked an industry-leading combination of Parkopedia data quality and Arrive data coverage, ensuring that drivers can retain full confidence in our data and benefit from information covering the vast majority of parking and charging scenarios they could find themselves in worldwide.

In most cases, when logging data, businesses can either focus on recording the greatest volume of data, ensuring the highest possible accuracy in their data, or a compromised balance of the two. However, now that we are part of Arrive, we are able to maximise both data quality and quantity without trade-off. This is thanks to being able to access additional data sources to which Parkopedia then applies its auto-grade quality assurance processes.

Over the first nine months of the collaboration, Parkopedia has worked with the broader Arrive business, including EasyPark, ParkMobile in North America and UK brands RingGo and YPS, to ensure that drivers can trust that data is up-to-date and fully verified, giving them greater confidence in finding and paying for parking and charging, which contributes to our overall vision of making cities more livable. 

Here, we look back at what we already achieved in 2025 and what the collective benefits from this integration are going forward. 

Greater Parkopedia coverage and improved ParkMobile data quality

Parkopedia has benefitted from 45 ParkMobile operated regions that may each spread across several cities - gaining a significant amount of additional data, including more than 31,000 parking locations across more than 240 cities in North America. We have then correlated these with Parkopedia data to remove duplication and carried out extensive data checks and enhancements to ensure that all data logged is accurate, current and as complete as possible. 

While Parkopedia typically prioritises coverage for high-pressure urban parking areas, where finding available parking is often difficult, ParkMobile (in the North America market) typically covers a broader range of locations. As a result, combining these data sets increases the number of locations available to global customers of both Parkopedia and Arrive (with new sites provided by ParkMobile), while improving ParkMobile data quality.

Furthermore, Arrive now benefits from improved data completeness and quality in the US by enriching data attributes with Parkopedia information, even when sites were previously covered by ParkMobile. This provides greater data quality for exact locations, addresses and unique restrictions, providing drivers with the best possible user experience.

All new locations offer in-car payment functionality

The benefit of Parkopedia being part of Arrive is not only an increase in quality and quantity - with greater coverage across both urban and rural areas, but an increase in the number of transactable locations where in-car parking payments can be made, providing an elevated user experience for drivers. In-car payment functionality, which is our most advanced method of payment, has continued to increase in popularity this year, with a growing proportion of drivers now considering it an essential connected car feature.

To show the scale of improvements gained by our integration, the level of Washington D.C. on-street parking location coverage has leapt by 45%, with an additional 1,843 on-street parking segments being added to Parkopedia’s database. All of these are transactable and available in vehicle head units and via the ParkMobile app - with both using Parkopedia-validated data, offering a significant increase in value to drivers.

Furthermore, Miami, Florida and Oakland, California have benefitted from a 50% increase in coverage, with all of these additions also being transactable locations. This data is available to all customers who receive Parkopedia parking data - at no extra cost - demonstrating the added benefit to drivers and our automaker customers.

Auto-grade quality data for the most in-demand locations

Parkopedia has focused on adding key mobility centres that offer the greatest strategic importance to drivers, by prioritising the locations with the highest demand for in-car parking payments. These locations are not just discrete towns or cities, but broader regions, potentially spread across several cities, ensuring that drivers in the areas with the greatest demand are accounted for with a wide range of accurate data.

ParkMobile users now benefit from high-quality Parkopedia data, including parking restriction information, which enables drivers to consider whether parking locations are suitable for their needs, as well as line segments that show the exact extent of parking zones, rather than just pins in the middle of potentially large parking zones - ensuring a smoother user experience for drivers. This enables drivers to navigate quickly and easily to the specific parking area, rather than being directed nearby and then left to try to find parking in an approximate location, as with many other parking data providers.

The user experience benefit of having granular line segments to show parking locations can be seen by the fact that 70% of ParkMobile app users now use the map to locate specific onscreen parking locations rather than typing in searches for parking locations. This is more than double the original 30% figure, reflecting the fact that drivers can now quickly find relevant locations and trust the accuracy of the locations shown, thanks to the newly added, more detailed parking area mapping.

This greater accuracy also provides increased driver confidence when identifying where they’ve parked on the map, thanks to complete street-level mapping of municipal inventory in client cities, made possible by collaborative work across the teams at Arrive.

Scope for further quality improvements and new data sources

Arrive is a large global business with multiple products and services in the mobility sector, which all work together to make cities more livable. Data, including valuable parking and EV charging data, is the backbone of much of what Arrive does, providing insights that enable the company to optimize parking management, deliver data-driven traffic reduction measures, refine public transport networks, support city planning, fleet management and provide seamless in-car payment technology.

This wealth of mobility data provides huge scope to develop improved user experiences for drivers and public transport users and to enable cities and fleets to run more efficiently. The acquisition of Parkopedia has also decreased onboarding time for operators, translating to heightened value for insights customers, emphasising the value that Arrive provides in offering quality, quantity and convenience to customers.

We look forward to finding new areas for collaboration within Arrive in future and using the expertise from across the group to develop valuable new products, and enhance existing, to continue to make mobility more seamless - both for drivers and those using public transport. Navigating parking, charging and general urban mobility, is an increasingly stressful prospect for a large proportion of drivers in cities around the world. As a result, Parkopedia, as part of Arrive, vows to address this, making cities more livable - enabling travellers to have quicker and simpler journeys - whatever their mode of transport.

We are also gearing up for CES 2026, where we will be hosting another one of our trademark breakfast briefings. The upcoming event will cover agentic AI, in-car voice AI functionality and in-car payments - all fast-growing areas. As part of Arrive, Parkopedia is now involved with in-car transactions at a much larger scale, contributing to creating the leading global mobility platform and with significant influence across the world of mobility.
