Access the WeHa Parking Finder to search for parking in the West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square, learn about parking options, and make the best informed decisions.

Parking can be a challenge, whether you're heading to a local shop, dining out, or attending an event. The time spent searching for a spot can be frustrating and even make driving in busy areas less enjoyable. For residents and visitors in West Hartford, CT, who may have experienced this in the past, that’s about to change.

The Town of West Hartford (WeHa) has partnered with Modii to introduce two digital solutions tools—the WeHa Parking Finder for the community and an Administrator Dashboard for the town’s parking management division. These tools are designed to make parking more convenient for everyone—drivers, visitors and town staff alike. Whether you're heading to a local restaurant, boutique, or community event, these solutions ensure a more convenient and efficient parking experience, helping drivers to make informed choices.

About West Hartford

West Hartford is a vibrant town, known for its thriving downtown, beautiful parks, and strong sense of community. With a blend of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas, parking has long been a priority.

On January 10, 2023, the Town of West Hartford Town Council took a significant step towards safety and sustainability mobility initiatives by adopting the Vision Zero Initiative, aiming to eliminate fatalities and severe injuries on West Hartford streets by 2033. This makes the town the first municipality in Connecticut to adopt such a plan, demonstrating their commitment to safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all.

Modii’s Solutions in West Hartford

The West Hartford central business district has ample parking availability on and off-street. While curbside spaces are always in high demand, many visitors may not realize off-street availability is just around the corner. With WeHa Parking Finder, drivers now have easy access to parking information about where they can park, review parking regulations, and even pay for parking—all from their smartphones.

While the Parking Finder is a great new tool for the community, drivers are not the only ones who benefit from this system. The partnership also includes the introduction of a centralized Administrator Dashboard, providing West Hartford’s parking department with a powerful tool to digitally manage all parking assets in one place. Administrators are now able to easily update parking changes and instantly publish them to the WeHa Parking Finder, ensuring the community always has access to accurate information for quick and convenient decision-making.

Next Steps

Through these digital solutions, Modii and West Hartford are embracing technology to improve the parking experience for everyone—making it easier for drivers to find parking and empowering administrators with the tools they need to manage parking and mobility efficiently. As the ecosystem continues to evolve, Modii’s Platform will continue to support the future of parking in West Hartford, creating a more seamless and convenient experience for all.
