LOWELL, MA – November 9, 2021 – ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., is expanding its contactless parking services to The University of Massachusetts Lowell. The expansion comes after much success on the UMass Amherst campus. Amidst COVID-19, drivers now have a safe and flexible way to pay for parking from any mobile device at UMass Lowell visitor parking lots. Between the UMass Amherst and Lowell campuses, there are over 12,000 ParkMobile spaces. 
ParkMobile has over 29 million users, is available for both iPhone and Android, or can be accessed on the web at https://parkmobile.io/. To pay for parking on campus, users simply enter the zone number for their location, which is posted on signs and stickers around parking areas. Then, they select the amount of time they need and touch the “Start Parking” button to pay and begin their session. Users can also add more time to their parking session directly from their mobile device, further enhancing convenience.
ParkMobile is widely available in Massachusetts with close to 420,000 current users of the app and 29 dedicated venues. Other New England cities using ParkMobile include Amherst, MA, Northampton MA, Holyoke, MA, Bar Harbor, ME, and Montpelier, VT.
