Which Parking Kiosk Brings in the Most Cash?

It’s another edition of You Ask, Patch Answers.

Today Patch takes a look at parking kiosks, the receipt machines placed around downtown that replaced meters a number of years ago to collect parking fees.

During the last six months, from Jan. 1, to June 30, according to Dave Florence, the point person on parking for the Concord Police Department, all the kiosks in the city brought in nearly $365,000. The parking garage kiosks brought in the most money, by far. The Durgin Block Garage brought in twice as much money as the Capitol Commons Garage in fees, according to the data.

On the street, the kiosk that brought in the most cash during the first six months of the year is the one just to the south of the front of Capital Plaza, on Main Street. “MAIN07,” as it is labeled, had nearly 15,000 transactions, bringing in more than $9,358.

The second busiest kiosk was MAIN01, outside of the Statehouse, which had $9,313.30 in fees from 10,200 transactions.

The worst performing kiosk is the one on Pleasant Street at Chesley Street, in front of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. During the last six months, only 665 transactions were made at that kiosk, raising $636.85.
