An embodiment of the invention relates to a parking spot identification system and method for providing parking-related information to a user seeking parking, hereinafter referred to as a “seeker.” The system enables a seeker to reduce time and energy spent looking for a parking spot and generally reduces distance between seeker's destination and the parking spot. In an embodiment the method comprises receiving a request from a seeker to park in an area, the request having a parking constraint; receiving an indication of a possibility of a parking spot being vacated by an occupier whose vehicle is parked in a parking spot meeting the parking constraint, and providing information to the seeker regarding the occupier once the probability of an occupier spot being vacated has exceeded a predetermined level.
