The Passport-powered app makes it easier to digitally pay for parking

 

Kansas City, Mo. (March 2, 2020) — Beginning today, drivers will use a new app to pay for parking in downtown Kansas City called ParkSmartKC. The app, developed by mobility management platform, Passport, can be used to digitally pay for parking at more than 1,500 on-street parking spaces and 5,000 garage and surface lot spaces in the city. The ParkSmartKC app is replacing the previous mobile pay app, ParkMobile.

 

To get started with ParkSmartKC, drivers can download the app and create an account with their payment information. When drivers park in downtown Kansas City, they can start parking sessions on their phones and add additional time remotely when the session expires. Drivers can also access receipts and parking history.

 

“We are excited to partner with Passport on the launch of the ParkSmartKC app,” said Bruce Campbell, parking administrator for the City of Kansas City. “Our ultimate goal is to make it easy for drivers to locate and pay for on-street and off-street parking and the app is an important step on that journey.”

 

Passport powers software for parking operations for 1,000 clients across the U.S. including Jefferson City, Mo., Clayton, Mo., and Chicago. Beyond mobile pay parking applications, Passport also provides software for digital parking enforcement, digital permits and a robust back-office management platform.

 

“With ParkSmartKC, we are providing a more customized experience for drivers in the Kansas City area,” said Nathan Berry, vice president of enterprise sales at Passport. “The new app is branded to match the entire parking operation for the city and makes it easier for drivers to identify and use the app.”

 

Users can download the free ParkSmartKC app from the App Store and Google Play or manage parking online at ParkSmartKC.com.

Say hello to more convenient parking with the Passport Parking App, now available in Downtown Marquette.

 

 

The Marquette DDA has partnered with Passport Parking to bring pay by phone parking to Downtown Marquette. Currently, Passport Parking is available at metered parking spaces on West Washington Street, as well as at the pay stations at the lower level of the Bluff Street ramp and North Main Street lot. Pay by Phone will be rolling out across the all of the metered parking spaces and pay stations in Downtown Marquette over the next month.

 

How does it work? It’s easy! Smart phone users can download the app from the ​Apple App Store​ or ​Google Play store and create an account with their mobile phone number or email address. Park anywhere you see Passport Parking app signs and decals, then use the zone and meter number on the sign to pay for your parking session and small convenience fee from your phone. Pay, extend, and manage your parking session with just a few taps.

 

What are the Benefits? No coins, no problem: Pay quickly and securely with your phone.

Forget refilling the meter in the rain or braving the cold. Get alerts when your parking session is about to end and instantly see how much time is left on the meter. Running late? Add time to your parking session directly from your phone, where parking regulations allow. Easy expenses: Receive email receipts at the end of your parking session and manage your parking history through the mobile app.

 

Visitors to downtown need not worry if they don’t use a smart phone; they will still be able to pay directly at the meter and pay stations using coins or credit cards, just as before.

 

“We’re excited to be able to add an additional and convenient way for visitors to pay for parking in Downtown Marquette,” stated Sarah Trumbley, Marquette Downtown Development Authority Operations Manager. “This makes tracking parking expenses and saving receipts a breeze. No more searching for spare change and fighting the weather while paying for parking.”
