Taking a Bite Out of Food Waste

Did you know that approximately a third of what we throw away in Spokane is food waste? Food waste not only puts stress on our Waste-to-Energy Facility, but it also could have been used as a precious compost resource. Learn more about composting on our website.

How the City Uses LPR Technology for Parking

License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology utilizes cameras and software to read license plates. Parking Services plans on using LPR to check for valid parking permits and look at data regarding occupancy/turnover to make data-driven decisions. The data collected can help identify trends within the Paid Parking Zone. The City will better understand turnover and occupancy levels and can adjust rates or change the curb to address needs. To learn more visit our website.
