New Orleans, LA – October 29, 2020 – ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the United States, announced today a new partnership with Park First to provide contactless payments in several cities across Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama. The ParkMobile app will now be available to use at 3,600 parking spaces at Park First locations in the cities of Houston, New Orleans, and Mobile. Amid COVID-19 concerns, many city leaders are encouraging residents to use the app versus the meter or pay station to prevent the spread of the virus.
ParkMobile is the #1 parking app in the U.S. and is available for both iPhone and Android devices. To pay for parking with the app, a user enters the zone number posted on stickers and signs around the lot, selects the amount of time needed, and touches the “Start Parking” button to begin the session. The user can also extend the time of the parking session on their mobile device, without having to go back to the pay station.
“We are excited to offer the ParkMobile app to our customers,” says Jeff Crimmins, SVP of Park First. “Many people in the area already have the app, and we are happy to make it available for contactless payments at our locations.”
