Metropolis

Metropolis Technologies is a pioneering American technology company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for the parking industry. Founded in 2017 by CEO Alexander Israel and his team, Metropolis uses advanced computer vision and deep learning algorithms to revolutionize parking for drivers and property owners.

The company’s flagship product enables a seamless "drive in and drive out" payment system, eliminating the need for cash, credit cards, or ticket machines. By recognizing registered vehicles through AI-powered cameras, Metropolis automates the payment process, allowing drivers to park without stopping to pay.

This innovation enhances convenience for consumers and optimizes revenue collection and operational efficiency for real estate owners.

In 2024, Metropolis expanded significantly by acquiring SP Plus Corporation, the largest parking network and provider of mobility services in North America. This strategic move established Metropolis as the leading parking operator in the region.

Post-acquisition, Metropolis manages over 4,000 locations and employs more than 20,000 people. The company now serves over 50 million consumers and processes more than $4 billion in payments annually.
