Residents and visitors can pay for parking for over 2,400 parking spaces in downtown Anchorage via the ParkMobile app and website
Anchorage, AK – August 28, 2024 — ParkMobile, a leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in North America and part of EasyPark Group, is expanding its footprint in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest through its growing presence in Anchorage. This September, parkers will be able to use ParkMobile to pay for on-demand parking on-street and off-street parking spaces in downtown Anchorage, Alaska.
“After working alongside EasyPark, a division of the Anchorage Community Development Authority, to modernize its parking infrastructure, we are thrilled to offer another mobile payment option that enhances the parking experience for everyone,” said David Holler, Vice President Sales at ParkMobile. “With the addition of text-to-pay, our goal is to make parking as seamless and convenient as possible, providing users with multiple ways to manage their parking needs right from their mobile devices.”
“We believe these enhancements will provide added convenience, especially for those who prefer a straightforward and efficient payment process”
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. To pay via text, users simply need to send a text message with the zone number and desired parking duration, making the payment process quicker and more accessible.
Jeff Read, Easy Park’s Parking Director, added, “We are constantly looking for ways to improve the parking experience for our community, and the introduction of ParkMobile with its text-to-pay feature is a significant step forward. The updated mobile number system across our on-street and off-street locations will make it even easier for parkers to pay accurately and efficiently. We believe these enhancements will provide added convenience, especially for those who prefer a straightforward and efficient payment process without the need to download an app. At the same time, we are pleased to continue offering PaybyPhone, ensuring that everyone can choose the payment method that best suits their needs.”
ParkMobile is currently serving Anchorage at over 30 off-street parking locations. ParkMobile has 60 million users across North America, is available for both iPhone and Android devices, and can also be accessed on a mobile web browser.
