Louisville, KY – October 7, 2021 – ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., is now offering contactless parking reservations for University of Louisville football games. This football season, students, faculty, and visitors will be able to reserve parking via ParkMobile in 500 off-street spaces in advance of games.

ParkMobile has over 28 million users, is available for both iPhone and Android, and can be accessed on the web at https://parkmobile.io/. Reserving a parking space is quick and easy. A user can go to https://app.parkmobile.io/venue/cardinal-stadium/events to view a full list of upcoming events with all the available parking options. To make a parking reservation, a user searches for the event venue in the ParkMobile app or website and selects the space they’d like to park in. After the user books the reservation, it can be redeemed at the location using a mobile pass in the ParkMobile app or a printed permit. Parking reservations are available for all home games this season, including the upcoming U of L vs UVA on Saturday, Oct. 9.

 

ParkMobile’s partnership with University of Louisville expands the company’s footprint in Kentucky, marking the ninth venue in the state.

Hood River introduces Passport Parking for downtown area

Drivers can easily pay to park from their smartphones

 

 

Hood River, Ore. (March 5, 2020) — The City of Hood River announces the launch of the mobile app, Passport Parking, for downtown parking. With this digital upgrade, residents and visitors can now conveniently pay for parking through their smartphones.

 

Drivers can simply download the Passport Parking app from the App Store or Google Play, create an account with an email address or phone number and enter their license plate, zone number and duration of stay. If users want to park longer, they can extend sessions remotely from their smartphones. Parking can additionally be managed online at passportparking.com.

 

“This new pay-by-plate system is one strategy to manage downtown parking and make it easier and more convenient for users,” said Laura Garcia-Rangel, Hood River parking clerk. “Users will no longer have to feed meters or go to pay stations. Instead, they can pay from their smartphones.”

 

Passport Parking can be used in cities and universities across the state such as Washington Park, Oregon State University and anywhere Passport Parking signage is displayed. Passport also supports the Parking Kitty mobile app in Portland.

 

“Passport is dedicated to helping every city transform their mobility management,” said Sam Warnecke, sales executive at Passport. “Through our partnership with Hood River, we are able to help create more efficient operations for the city and positive experiences for drivers.”
