Panama City Beach introduces Passport Parking app

Vacation destination in Florida is now offering an easier way to pay to park

 

Panama City Beach, Fla. (June 1, 2020) — Beginning today, beachgoers and residents of Panama City Beach can park and pay on the go through the Passport Parking mobile app. The digital application is powered by Passport, the operating system that enables over 1,000 cities and universities to manage vehicle interactions on streets and sidewalks.

 

Users download the free Passport Parking app on their smartphones, create an account with a preferred method of payment and enter the zone and vehicle license plate number. In addition to paying for parking, users can view their parking history and extend parking sessions remotely so there’s no need to leave the beach.

 

“Parking should be the last thing Panama City Beach residents and vacationers should have to worry about,” said David Campbell, Panama City Beach community redevelopment agency manager. “Working with Passport to offer this mobile pay option will greatly enhance the parking experience and will allow us to further digitize our operations in the city.”

 

In the near future, Panama City Beach will also be implementing Passport’s cloud-based enforcement solution. This will allow the city to digitally issue citations and process payments in real-time and from a single operating system. Drivers will also be able to pay their citations seamlessly online rather than having to mail in a check or pay in person.

 

“Panama City Beach was in need of a modern, reliable solution to manage it’s parking operations – especially during peak tourist season,” said Kelsey Owens, Passport sales director. “We are excited for this partnership and to equip the city with the technology needed to create a more frictionless parking experience.”

 

Drivers can download the free Passport Parking app from the App Store and Google Play. Users can also manage their parking online at passportparking.com.

New Passport-powered app, makes parking around the city and at events a breeze

 

 

Louisville, KY (April 21, 2018) — The City of Louisville announces the launch of the mobile parking app, Go 502, ahead of its annual Thunder Over Louisville event this weekend. Passport, the global parking technology leader that powers parking apps for cities like Boston, Toronto, Chicago and Miami, pioneered the branded parking application. The app will be available for on-street parking spaces and for the first time in Passport history, users will be able to use the app in gated parking garages.

 

 

Parkers will be able to easily download the Go 502 app to their smartphones and pay for parking with a debit or credit card without having to visit the payment station. In gated parking garages motorists will scan the barcode on their phones which will authorize the form of payment on file. Upon exiting the garage, the motorists will then scan the app’s QR code near the gate to exit. The app will charge for the time parked in the garage.

With the app, motorists will also have the option to extend their parking sessions remotely, receive notifications when their sessions are low on time, and get email receipts. In addition to parking, the app allows users to pay parking citations with a few simple clicks.

To make parking easier, Go 502 features a digital wallet which provides parkers with the ability to preload funds using their debit or credit cards to pay for parking. Parkers can take advantage of the following wallet deals:

  • Add $23 to your wallet and get $2 in additional funds to spend
  • Add $9 to your wallet and get $1 in additional funds to spend

The Go 502 app will be available in more than 5,000 parking spaces across Louisville, including downtown on-street parking, gated garages and in Riverside parking lots. Users who have the PassportParking app would need to upgrade to the Go 502 app for accessibility in both lots and gated garages. The Go 502 app is available where signage is posted.

“We’re thrilled to launch a unique app that fits our city’s needs,” said Tiffany Smith, Director of Parking Authority of River City, Inc. “By continuing our partnership with Passport, we are able to provide our community with an app that improves the parking experience, as well as allows us to add invaluable technology integrations in the future.”

“Passport is extremely proud to expand its partnership with the City of Louisville,” said David Singletary, Vice President of Sales at Passport. “Go 502 will provide a custom and efficient transportation ecosystem that’s tailored to fit the city’s residents and visitors, alike.”

The Go 502 app is free to download in the App Store and Google Play. Users can also learn more about the app on gotolouisville.com.

PassportParking launches at University of Rochester

 

 

 

Rochester, New York (March 1, 2018) — There’s one basic college course every student must pass. It doesn’t appear in the course catalog and it isn’t assigned a grade. However, it could result in a pass/fail at the end of the semester. Time management — it is one of the first lessons a student must learn when balancing school, a social life and oftentimes, work, too. For the students at the University of Rochester there’s a solution to help manage time. The university has recently upgraded from its current parking provider to PassportParking for a smoother and more convenient app experience. The app is powered by the global leader of mobile payments for parking and transit, Passport, serving cities and universities throughout North America.

 

The PassportParking app can be used in 70 spaces on Wilson Boulevard. Students can use the app to pay for parking, extend time remotely, view payments and receive emailed receipts with just a swipe of a finger. The app is also based on a users’ registered license plate number, so there is no need to remember a space number when parking.

 

“Students have a lot of stresses to handle. Parking shouldn’t be one of them,” said Alexandra Wells, Passport sales executive. “Our app will help students, as well as faculty and visitors, manage their time on campus and notifies them of when their parking will expire. That way they can make the most of their time.”

 

Passport is the industry’s leading mobile technology solution specializing in enterprise business applications and payments for the public and private sectors. The company works also works with Rochester’s southwestern neighbor, the City of Buffalo, where it powers the Buffalo Roam app. The PassportParking app is free to download through the App Store or Google Play. Users can also manage their parking at ppprk.com.
