VANCOUVER, CANADA, 7 January 2025 – PayByPhone, one of the fastest growing mobile parking payments companies in the world, has planted 6,528 trees with reforestation projects in Kenya, in the name of its partnering North American clients. The trees are being planted following the success of its Green December initiative, where one tree was planted for every 50 parking transactions completed during December in participating locations across California, Kentucky and Massachusetts.

Green December is PayByPhone’s annual initiative that supports reforestation to combat climate change, and is run in partnership with veritree, an organisation that connects businesses with verified tree planting projects to elevate global reforestation.

Carmen Donnell, Managing Director NA for PayByPhone, says, “To be able to plant so many trees is incredibly exciting for us. This year’s campaign goal was to plant 5,500 trees, and thanks to our participating clients, we’ve far exceeded that target. We greatly value our community of loyal partners who support our efforts to create a greener future and would like to thank The City of Glendale, CA, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, the City of San Mateo, CA, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), and the Parking Authority River City (PARC), Louisville, KY, for their support of Green December.”

This is the second year that Green December has run in North America, bringing the total number of trees planted to over 12,000. PayByPhone has seen great success from the initiative,

which initially started in the UK in 2019, and has planted over 312,000 trees to date globally in Southwest France, Madagascar and Kenya.

PayByPhone is dedicated to supporting the global push to restore natural landscapes affected by deforestation. Donnell explains: “Reforestation is essential to safeguard our ecosystems and combat climate change and Green December is our way of giving back.” For more information about Green December please visit https://www.paybyphone.com/green-december.
