A SMART CITY PLATFORM
Disrupting Urban Mobility
Cars are moving 5% of the time .. the rest of the time cars are parked! At Cumra, we address what cars do 95% of the time .. Parking. We are a smart city platform that makes parking data accessible, on-demand, and real-time.

Cumra is a technology company that has developed a platform of integrated solutions to make parking data accessible to drivers, parking operators, and city councils alike.

Searching for a Parking Space
The “searching for a parking space” problem is compounded due to the lack of information:
Motorists in UK spend 4 days a year looking for a parking space - The Telegraph, 2017.
Finding a spot in New York has become a 15-, 30- or even 45-minute ordeal - The New York Times, 2021.
The total cost of searching for a parking space in 2016 was estimated at $146Bn - INRIX, 2017.
Benefits
By making parking data accessible, Cumra contributes to improving air quality in cities, providing drivers with a seamless parking experience, and enabling urban planners to make informed decisions.
Improved Air Quality
Sharing information about the real-time status of parking spaces reduces traffic congestion by around 30%, which in turn reduces air pollution in cities.
Seamless Parking Experience
Drivers get real-time data on the availability of parking spaces, eliminating the need to cruise and making their journey more predictable and less stressful.
Data-Driven Decisions
Receiving critical parking data in real-time enables parking operators and city councils to make informed decisions and implement dynamic pricing policies.
