Conduent Transportation announced its selection by Reading Borough Council in the UK to provide on and off-street parking enforcement services. The contract, initially for a four-year term, begins in November. Conduent will provide Reading Borough Council with on- and off-street parking civil enforcement officers (CEOs) to oversee parking compliance while managing on- and off-street pay and display machines.

Conduent will also deploy technology and data analytics to make parking management more efficient and effective in the borough, approximately 40 miles west of London. Conduent will retain the existing team and, with natural attrition, will focus on hiring full-time employees from the local area, 12 of which being long-term unemployed. In 2020, Conduent was selected by Oxfordshire County Council to provide on-street parking enforcement services.

In addition, late last year, Conduent began training its on-street parking CEOs to become the first in the country to participate in the ?Ask for Angela? campaign, to help vulnerable members of the public in dangerous or uncomfortable situations. Conduent?s CEOs in Reading will also be trained to participate in the Ask for Angela campaign.
