ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the US, will partner with Park Place Parking to allow customers to use their mobile devices to pay for parking. The service is available across 2,000 spaces at 20 lots across Columbus.

The ParkMobile app has replaced the previous mobile parking provider across all Park Place Parking lots. New stickers and signage will provide information to drivers on how to pay for parking using the new app. To use ParkMobile, customers can register for free through the app for iPhone, Android or online at parkmobile.io. After setting up their account, customers can immediately begin using the system with their registered device.

Users can choose to upgrade for $0.99/month to the ParkMobile Pro membership which includes Parking Availability, a feature that shows where the open on-street parking spots are in the immediate area. Additionally, membership comes with special offers on automotive-related services like oil changes, rental cars, and more.

ParkMobile is widely available in Columbus and surrounding areas in Ohio, including Cleveland, Athens, Bay Village, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Lakewood. Additionally, ParkMobile will soon support Cleveland Browns parking at FirstEnergy Stadium.

“Park Place is excited to partner with the ParkMobile team to improve customer service in the Columbus, Ohio market.  Park Place prides itself on bringing ingenuity, resourcefulness and, vision to our customers and clients,” stated Shawn Compton, General Manager at Park Place.  “It is great to know that the ParkMobile team shares our values and we look forward to continued success.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with Park Place Parking to offer users a smarter way to park,” stated Jon Zigar, CEO of ParkMobile. “With more than 1 million parking spots across the country, we’re excited to welcome Columbus to our wide network.”

Park Place is a dynamic parking management and real estate investment company that provides a full spectrum of parking-related services. Organized in 1967 and incorporated in 1974 in Atlanta, Park Place has over four and a half decades of experience in the parking industry.
