Until December 31, 2025, Metz Stationnement, a subsidiary of Indigo, is responsible for managing surface parking for the City of Metz.
For the year 2023, the total parking revenue (excluding underground car parks) collected by the delegatee stood at €3.8 million. Each place garnered €795 on average. This sum, obtained by dividing the amount of total revenue (up) by the number of places (down) is increasing: a place brought in €787 in 2022 and €690 in 2021. Out of all of these revenues, the City collects a fixed share of fees. It is set at €2.6 million.
It must also receive a variable portion which depends on the total amount of revenue collected. “But the threshold for triggering the variable portion has never been reached,” reported Julien Husson, first deputy mayor, during the municipal council meeting on November 28, 2024. The prize pool for the City is therefore €2.6 million. .

Fines
The contract with the delegatee is very favorable for the City of Metz because it was, in 2017, Indigo's first major contract in France. But the group, which supports all the park's investments, is losing money.
It will not renew its contract when it ends on December 31, 2025. The City and the Metropolis will manage on-street parking almost directly, through a local public company (SPL), then, gradually of the end of other public service delegations, also the parking lots under construction.
Motorists can fill another envelope: that of fines! Thus, fines for absence or insufficiency of parking payment (we no longer speak of PV but of post-parking package, i.e. FPS), generated revenue of €1.15 million in 2023. An amount decreasing by compared to 2022 where the total fines amounted to €1.2 million. The City receives nothing from this windfall. The envelope is donated to the metropolis of Metz to finance operations to improve public transport or respect for the environment.
