As part of a phased rollout, ParkMobile will soon be available at various locations throughout the city, with on-street parking payments near Discovery Park District and Wabash Landing scheduled to launch in early June 2025

West Lafayette, Indiana – May 7, 2025 — ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in North America and part of EasyPark Group, will soon be modernizing parking in West Lafayette, Indiana. As part of the City’s broader efforts to improve mobility and accessibility, the new parking program is designed to deliver significant benefits for the community and will be rolled out in a phased approach.

As part of Phase 1, ParkMobile—which is already in use for on-campus parking at Purdue University—will expand to 476

“With the adoption of our mobile app, residents and visitors in the city will benefit from a more convenient and seamless way to park—giving them more time to enjoy the city’s vibrant restaurants, retailers, and entertainment options.”

parking spaces in West Lafayette beginning in early June. This initial rollout includes areas within the Discovery Park District, such as Airport Road and Mitch Daniels Boulevard, as well as the Wabash Landing area near Tapawingo Park and the Levee. These are high-demand zones where metered parking will help improve turnover and access for residents, visitors, and nearby businesses.

Phase 2 is expected to launch later this summer and will extend the program to an additional 467 parking spaces, including metered streets near Purdue University, where community parking demand is most concentrated.

The initiative aims to enhance the overall parking experience while supporting broader community goals. These include increased parking turnover, improved access to local businesses, and more efficient use of curb space—all of which contribute to a more vibrant and accessible city environment. In addition, all parking revenue generated through the program will be reinvested directly into local infrastructure projects, including street repairs, sidewalk enhancements, and ongoing improvements to the parking system. This reinvestment strategy ensures that the program delivers long-term value to residents, businesses, and visitors.

“ParkMobile is the trusted parking and mobility management platform for more than 600 cities across North America. By eliminating the stress of parking in urban environments, we’re working toward our mission of making cities more livable,” said David Holler, vice president of ParkMobile. “We’re excited to partner with the City of West Lafayette to elevate the parking experience through the launch of our smart parking platform. With the adoption of our mobile app, residents and visitors in the city will benefit from a more convenient and seamless way to park—giving them more time to enjoy the city’s vibrant restaurants, retailers, and entertainment options.”

“We’re excited to introduce ParkMobile to our community as part of our continued efforts to improve the parking experience in the city,” said Jenifer Van Schuyver, director of development with the City of West Lafayette. “With this new option, residents and visitors will now have a more convenient, user-friendly way to find and pay for parking. This launch is a step forward in modernizing our city’s infrastructure and making it easier for everyone to enjoy all that West Lafayette has to offer.”

ParkMobile has 65 million users across North America, is available for both iPhone and Android devices, and can also be accessed on a mobile web browser. To pay for parking via the ParkMobile app or website, users will enter the zone number or scan the QR code found on the signs located within the parking lot, choose the duration of time they wish to park and touch the “start parking” button.
