ORLANDO, Fla.--Aug. 1, 20040, 2004--ClickandPark.com, an online parking and traffic management system, today announced the launch of its online automated parking and routing system, which will alleviate excessive traffic congestion at major sporting and special events."Working with ClickandPark.com to build an innovative Internet product provided us an opportunity to offer bottom-line solutions," stated Damon Petta, president of Petta Technology Inc.

Utilizing a stable and powerful platform, provided at a significantly lower cost than other proprietary alternatives, this technology provides the following benefits for consumers:

-- With reduced frustration and headaches, 97 percent of customers report satisfaction.
-- Attendees arrive at the event location in an even distribution around the traffic plan perimeter for improved traffic flow.
-- Successful evacuation planning offers more efficiency.
Event/stadium managers will have additional innovative benefits including:
-- Consumers, with more event time, translates into more business for event vendors - on average concession sales increase by 28 percent when people arrive earlier.
-- An average reduction of $10,000 in labor costs.
-- Law enforcement and event management can assign the desired number of vehicles to use available arteries and surface streets to decrease traffic congestion.
-- User statistics are available for future events and post-event demographic information is readily available.
"We are excited to launch this new technology," stated Tony Vitrano, president and founder of ClickandPark.com. "Over the years, we often hear from patrons attending major special events that they encounter delays and have trouble finding a parking space.
