$6.5M Metropolis Technologies parking class action settlement

Metropolis Technologies Inc. has agreed to a $6.5 million class action settlement to resolve claims it violated the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act with misleading advertising and unfair practices related to its parking services.

The Metropolis Technologies settlement benefits Tennessee residents who paid for parking at a Metropolis parking lot in Tennessee between July 1, 2021, and the effective date of the settlement and who have not previously received a full refund from Metropolis for the parking session in question.

Under the terms of the Metropolis Technologies settlement, Metropolis has agreed to pay $6.5 million to the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office in three equal installments. The first payment is due Jan. 15, 2026; the second payment is due June 15, 2026; and the third payment is due Jan. 15, 2027.

Metropolis also has agreed to establish the Tennessee Parking Program, which will provide credits to consumers to provide free parking for consumers. The credits will total $2.25 million and the program will provide eligible parkers with a promotional code that can be redeemed for up to $15 in free parking credit at participating lots. Eligible parkers may use the promotional code up to two times, for a total value of up to $30 in free parking.

Metropolis has also agreed to waive violations when a consumer demonstrates they paid for the parking event that is the subject of the violation.

The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office investigated Metropolis Technologies, which provides parking services, and determined the company violated the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act with misleading advertising and unfair practices related to its parking services.

Metropolis Technologies, based in Chicago, provides parking solutions to cities, universities and private operators. The company has not admitted any wrongdoing in connection with the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act but has agreed to the class action settlement to avoid the expense associated with litigation.

The company also has agreed to post information on its website about the class action settlement, including a link to the webpage established by the attorney general and/or its third-party restitution administrator through which eligible consumers can seek restitution consistent with the assurance.

No exclusion or objection deadlines are provided in the parking class action lawsuit settlement agreement.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for Jan. 15, 2026.

No claim form is required to receive benefits under the Metropolis Technologies settlement.
