Passport Debuts In-App Citation Payment Platform

Passport’s Park Omaha will be first to take advantage of the technology

 

March 8, 2016 – Receiving parking tickets can be frustrating, but paying them doesn’t have to be. Passport is the first software company to offer a single solution for parking payments and in-app parking citation payments, combining in one app the entire parking ecosystem. The new capability further enhances the industry-leading solution for parking and is being offered for the first time within Park Omaha, a parking payment app created specifically for the City of Omaha. With the Park Omaha app, users can find, pay, extend and manage parking. The latest update allows customers the capability of paying any parking violation directly from the app.

 

ParkOmaha was the first-ever private label mobile application for parking. “We chose to partner with Passport because of their flexible technology and ability to build a product that fits our needs. Years later, they are continuing to evolve with new innovation and make parking easier,” said Kenneth Smith, City Parking Manager. Omaha continues to pioneer the parking experience for residents with the new native citation payment feature. When a user receives a parking citation, they can download the Park Omaha app, find their citation, and pay or appeal directly from the app. To help avoid citations, users can pay with the Park Omaha app and extend their sessions directly from their smartphone.

 

“Our enterprise software offers the flexibility to tailor features specifically for client’s needs. Providing an in-app citation payment feature was important to the City and allows users a convenient way to resolve their parking violation quickly,” said Brad Powers, CTO at Passport. “We’ve created a better experience by providing an end-to-end solution for parking in Omaha. Users can now manage everything in one place”

 

Cities around the world are adopting mobile payment technology for parking, transportation, and now additional municipal payments. Passport provides payment technology to cities, universities, private operators, and transit agencies throughout North America. Passport clients are experiencing enhanced speed in their operation and up to 20% increases in online payment compliance for citation management.

 

“Our extensible platform allows us to add useful functionality that meets user demands. It also creates multiple entry points for the app, whether parking for the first time–or receiving your first parking ticket,” said Brad Powers. “We are trying to make the entire downtown experience easier to manage and navigate.”

 

Passport offers citation management services to clients through a secure online payment portal and can easily integrate with existing hardware and software providers. As part of Passport’s commitment to innovation, the company released this in-app enhanced functionality for iOS and Android devices.

The campus is introducing the Passport mobile app, which allows drivers the convenience of paying for parking right from their smartphone. With Passport’s solution, drivers will be able to manage their parking from any phone, tablet, or computer on hand. Users can even extend their parking session from the app without having to walk back to the parking pay station.

“We’re very excited to be partnering with the University of Michigan to make parking more convenient on campus,” said Alexandra Wells, Sales Associate at Passport. “This app will save students time when they pay for parking and give them flexibility so that they can extend their parking session right from their phone.”

Smartphone users can also use the new service by going to ppprk.com to create their account.

 

Drivers can begin taking advantage of the app on February 8th. This service will be piloted on 144 parking spaces in the North Campus NC43 Lot, and will eventually expand to all 850 parking spaces on campus.
