The Village of Ridgewood has partnered with ParkMobile, the leading provider for on-demand and prepaid mobile payments, for on- and off-street parking pay by phone. There will now be an easier, effortless, and innovative way of paying for parking transactions by mobile phone. The new partnership will allow pay by phone transactions so residents, businesses, and visitors will be able to conduct their parking transactions by mobile phone throughout Ridgewood.

Ridgewood, NJ, May 11, 2015 – ParkMobile, LLC announced today a new partnership with the Village of Ridgewood that will allow customers to use their mobile phones to pay for parking at all Village owned lots. This is the first step in expanding mobile payment transactions throughout the Village of Ridgewood. ParkMobile will be available for the on-street meters in the near future, as well. Customers will be able to utilize their smartphones to pay for parking using ParkMobile’s mobile applications for iPhone, Android, Windows, Blackberry, and Amazon phones. After an exhaustive search, ParkMobile was selected. Patrons may register in advance at www.parkmobile.io or download the mobile app in their phone’s app store.

“We are excited to work with ParkMobile, pay by phone industry leader, and implement a Village-wide pay by phone option. This partnership will expand current payment options and revolutionize the current parking operation as it has done for Glen Rock, Summit, Chatham and Montclair.”

“We are very happy to launch our mobile payment parking service in the Village of Ridgewood” said Cherie Fuzzell, CEO of ParkMobile, LLC. “This technology offers customers a new and better way to pay for parking and is truly beneficial to them, as well as the city. Our service eliminates the need to swipe a card or feed coins to a meter and can make our lives easier and more efficient.”

Once registered, customers may use the mobile app, internet, or call a toll free number to pay for parking. After setting up their account, they can immediately start using the system with their registered mobile phone. This convenient service also provides customers the ability to receive alerts when their meter time is about to expire and use credit cards in locations that do not offer manual credit card payments. Meters accepting coins are still available except at the Chestnut Street Lot and some parking spaces at the Rt. 17 Park & Ride Lot.
