ParkMobile Hits 10 Million Users and Ranks on Inc. 5000

ParkMobile Hits 10 Million Users and Ranks on Inc. 5000

 

 

 

ParkMobile recently achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 10 million users.  Launched in 2008, the company’s growth has accelerated in recent years with ParkMobile now adding about 1 million users every 80 days. Today, approximately 1 in 20 drivers in the U.S. has registered with ParkMobile, and the app ranks #3 in the “Navigation” category of the Apple App Store, just behind Google Maps and Waze.

 

 

ParkMobile’s user growth has been driven by its expanding footprint across North America and innovative new functionality, including event reservations, the ability to find and pay for electronic vehicle charging, and the on-street parking availability feature that helps drivers quickly navigate to open spots in their area. So far in 2018, ParkMobile has expanded into several major markets including Tampa, FL, Berkeley, CA, and Tulsa, OK, as well as adding over 1,000 new parking garages to its reservations inventory.  Coming up in September this year, ParkMobile will roll out in Alexandria, VA, making it easier to pay for parking with one app across the entire DC metro area including Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Arlington and Washington, DC.

This rapid growth is a key reason why ParkMobile was just named to the Inc. 5000, recognizing America’s fastest-growing private companies.

“We are very excited about the growth trajectory of our company, and more importantly, that drivers can now use just one app to park nearly everywhere they go across the U.S.,” said Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. “It took us 6 years to reach our first million users. Now we are adding a million new users every few months. With approximately 1 in 20 U.S. drivers registered for ParkMobile, it is a clear sign that smart mobility solutions have moved beyond ‘early adopters’ and now have broad appeal to consumers everywhere. We look forward to adding our next 10 million users in the very near future.”

Metra commuters and Chicagoans have used PassportParking® and ParkChicago apps over 40 million times

April 03, 2018

 

 

 

Metra commuters and Chicagoans have used PassportParking® and ParkChicago apps
over 40 million times

 

 

 

Apps make getting around Chicagoland easier, more convenient and faster

 

 

Chicago, Ill. (April 3, 2018) — If the 20th century is considered the century of the automobile, then the 21st century will evolve with citizens at the helm of how they commute through a variety of innovations in transportation.

 

Today, Chicagoland commuters have more choices than ever. While 50 percent of commuters are opting to drive during their weekday commute, the other 50 percent are opting for a quicker and more convenient way into the Chicago Loop with public transit. Price is always seen as a determining factor to how people travel but time is becoming increasingly more important.

 

According to Passport, the global leader of mobile payments for parking and transit, the City of Chicago as well as the towns and villages near Chicago have turned to technology to make driving and commuting across Chicagoland easier through mobile parking payment apps. Parkers in the city can have been using the ParkChicago app, made by Passport, to pay for parking on the go in the city’s more than 36,000 on-street parking spaces, and at the same time over 70 Metra park-and-ride lots along Chicago’s commuter line have implemented the PassportParking® app. In total, Chicagoans have used the Passport-powered apps over 40 million times in the last 5 years to pay for parking from the convenience of their smartphones.

 

The Passport parking apps are found to be an easy alternative to traditional payment methods, like paystations or cash boxes. The apps enable motorists to start and extend parking sessions remotely, allowing Metra riders to take the train while avoiding lines to pay. The apps send alerts and notifications about parking sessions; provide payment history; and email receipts at the end of each parking session.

 

“Towns and villages want to provide the same conveniences of major cities like Chicago,” said Passport executive David Singletary of the surge in Illinois clients. “The old way of parking at a commuter lot is time-consuming and outdated. Add Illinois’ often inclement weather to the scenario and it can be uncomfortable and frustrating—day after day. The Passport mobile payment system smoothes over all of those friction points.”

 

Metra has 11 separate lines connected to the Chicago Loop, and serves more than 100 communities at 241 rail stations. According to Metra, the commuter rail line travels nearly 500 route miles and has an average weekday ridership of almost 300,000 people. In The Daily Line podcast, “Predicting the Future of Transportation in Chicago,” Audrey Wennink, director of transportation policy at The Metropolitan Planning Council, shared how people are moving in cities like Chicago. “The only two cities that have more transit riders are Los Angeles and New York City—really dense cities. Most other cities have 75-80 percent of drivers. As we move into the future, we have to make sure we sustain our transit system. It’s a real jewel,” said Wennink.

 

Moovit Insights reports that the average commute in Chicago is 86 minutes, similar to commutes in Los Angeles and New York City. The morning travel time is often made longer when motorists must drive to the nearest commuter parking lot and pay for parking with outdated methods. Depending on the Metra lot, people must cram cash into a metal box to pay (with no proof of payment provided); or walk to a machine and punch in the space or plate number; or lastly, go to a pay-and-display station where they pay at a machine, grab a ticket and walk back to the vehicle to display the ticket on the windshield, all while racing to board the train. Simply put: the time adds up, and the experience can be problematic, especially if the rider forgets cash or misses the train. However, with the PassportParking app, commuters can simply park, and pay on the go from wherever they may be.

 

“As the needs of commuters in Chicago continue to change and grow, the technology options need to align. The PassportParking app provides a much-needed convenience to daily commutes,” said Singletary.

 

Passport is the industry’s leading mobile technology solution specializing in enterprise business applications and payments for the public and private sectors. The company partners with more than 60 municipalities in Illinois. The PassportParking app is free to download through the App Store or Google Play. Users can also manage their parking at ppprk.com.

City adds app for simpler parking payments

These zones not only have better signage that will help people find parking, but will aid in enforcement. Each parking meter will have a decal on it letting customers know about the app.

In 2017, the Parking Commission recommended to Common Council that the PassportParking app be implemented due to the imminent arrival of WVU Tech, the construction of a new police department, and the anticipated emergence of new businesses in the uptown area. Ann Worley, Chairman of the Parking Commission stated, “Beckley is the first municipality in Southern West Virginia to offer a mobile parking app. Passport has been excellent to work with in helping us develop a user-friendly, easy way for our citizens and visitors to pay for parking and our enforcement officers to more efficiently carry out their duties.”
“Passport is proud to expand its footprint in the state of West Virginia,” said Kelsey Owens, Passport regional director. “With Passport’s state-of-the-art technology, we are to able partner with the City of Beckley to digitize the parking experience and provide drivers with a convenient payment method.

Asheville launches new citation management system powered by Passport

Asheville launches new citation management system powered by Passport   

Enforcement officers now using real-time platform
for more accurate enforcing

 

 

 

Asheville, NC (Feb. 9, 2018) — Passport, the industry leader in parking enforcement software, has launched its citation management platform for the City of Asheville. The city, that expects to issue up to 20,000 citations this year, is upgrading its system to run congruent with its mobile pay platform, provided through PassportParking® since 2012. The new system will streamline the city’s citation management process providing more accuracy and convenience, integrating both the mobile pay and citation management systems together on the same platform.

 

With Passport’s citation management platform, city enforcement officers can efficiently issue citations using wireless handheld devices and Bluetooth printers. Enforcement officers can also monitor parking, conduct digital chalking and upload pictures of violations in real time. The real-time data transfer functionality allows parking administrators to access citation information immediately upon ticket issuance through Passport’s back office platform. The new system also has a built-in Scofflaw violation tool to provide officers with immediate repeat offender information.

 

“It made sense for us to combine Passport’s mobile pay system with its citation management technology to equip our on-street enforcement officers and our parking administrators with better tools and more accurate data,” said Harry Brown, parking services manager for the City of Asheville. “Our goal is to improve how we make data-driven decisions and that begins with using state-of-the-art technology for a seamless account of what’s happening in our city.”

 

“We’re excited to integrate our citation management platform with our mobile pay solution for the City of Asheville,” said Kelsey Owens, sales executive at Passport. “The innovative technology with our two platforms will ensure enforcement officers are supported with real-time information to successfully do their jobs. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase the difference in how our combined services will work to deliver a clear analysis of parking habits and trends in the city.”

With the platform the City has the ability to track enforcement officers in real-time, pull ticket density reports and analyze parking patterns to continuously improve parking in the city. The City of Hickory and Town of Davidson both have Passport’s citation management platforms.

More information on Passport’s enforcement software is available at www.passportinc.com/citationmanagement.
