Abstract: An electronic vehicle locking system includes a stanchion affixed to a solid surface, a housing affixed to the stanchion and one or more elongated securing members operable to wrap around a portion of a vehicle. The elongated securing members include a first locking element which is operable to engage a second locking element disposed along the length of the stanchion, thereby securing a vehicle to the stanchion. The housing includes a user input device operable to receive user input to engage or disengage the first and second locking elements, an electronic control device operable in response to the user input to send a signal to engage or disengage the first and second locking elements and a display device operable to display at least an indication of whether the first and second locking elements are engaged or disengaged.
