ParkHouston App, Powered by ParkMobile, Unveils Spanish-Language Version

The Spanish translations are available when a ParkHouston user updates their device settings to Spanish.

HOUSTON, TX – January 26, 2022 – ParkMobile announced an enhancement to the City of Houston’s ParkHouston app that will give users access to view the app in Spanish. This new feature makes the app more accessible for ParkHouston’s Spanish-speaking users as the city continues to make parking easy and convenient.

“Houston es la ciudad más diversa del país, por lo que ofrecer una versión en español de la aplicación es muy importante para la ciudad de Houston”, dice Tina Paez, Directora de Administración y Asuntos Regulatorios. “ParkHouston quiere que los pagos de estacionamiento sean lo más conveniente posible para todos los residentes de Houston y visitantes de nuestra comunidad”.

“Houston is the most diverse city in the country, so offering a Spanish version of the app is very important to the City of Houston,” says Tina Paez, Director of Administration and Regulatory Affairs. “ParkHouston wants parking payments to be as convenient as possible for all Houstonians and visitors to our community.”

ParkMobile and the City of Houston have been in partnership for more than a decade, and the ParkHouston app launched in 2017. Since then, ParkHouston has seen more than 300,000 lifetime users, resulting in more than three million transactions.

The ParkHouston app, powered by ParkMobile, is free to download on both iPhone and Android devices. To view the app in Spanish, a user must change their default language to Spanish (United States) in their phone settings. From there, users can use the app to pay for parking or reserve parking in advance, just as they would on the English version of the app.

“The City of Houston has been an incredible partner of ours since 2011, so we’re thrilled to further our partnership with the addition of Spanish capabilities for the ParkHouston app,” says Jeff Perkins, CEO of ParkMobile. “Providing the option for Spanish in the ParkHouston app is just another way Houston is using innovative technology to create a better experience for all.”

With just a few taps, Google Pay users can quickly start a parking session anywhere in Atlanta where ParkMobile is accepted

Atlanta, GA – June 8, 2021 – ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., today announced a new way for people to pay for parking around the City of Atlanta directly from the Google Pay app. Starting this month, all Google Pay users will be able to start a parking session anywhere ParkMobile is accepted in the city.

To make a parking payment, a user will open the Google Pay app on their Android or iOS mobile device and tap to park from the home screen. The user will start a new session, enter the parking zone and space number, add time, and finish the payment. If it is the user’s first time using Google Pay to park, the user also has to enter the car’s license plate number. Once the session has started, the user can easily extend parking time from the Google Pay app without going back to the meter. Additionally, there are quick links from the driving directions in Google Maps that take a user right into the ParkMobile section of the Google Pay app.

“Thanks to our integration with ParkMobile’s software, people in Atlanta can pay for their parking and top up their meter from the convenience of their mobile device.”

ParkMobile was founded in Atlanta in 2008 and is currently headquartered in Midtown. The company has been named a “Best Places to Work” by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and one of the “Top 10 “Innovative Companies of the Decade” by the Technology Association of Georgia. The ParkMobile and Google Pay app are available at all on-street spaces in the city and other popular in-town locations like Ponce City Market, Zoo Atlanta, the Van Gogh experience at Pullman Yards, and on the Georgia Tech campus. Beyond the city limits, ParkMobile is available in Roswell, Decatur, as well as the Kennesaw State and University of Georgia campuses.

“We want to make everyday payments, like parking, fast and easy with Google Pay,” said Fausto Araujo, Product Manager, Google Pay. “Thanks to our integration with ParkMobile’s software, people in Atlanta can pay for their parking and top up their meter from the convenience of their mobile device.”

“Atlanta is our hometown, so we are thrilled to be the only mobile parking app currently available in Google Pay in the city,” says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. “This new feature creates a seamless parking experience and gives users in Atlanta more options for contactless payments.”

ParkMobile Launches New Feature Enabling Users to Pay Highway Tolls

Company expands mobility offering beyond parking into tolling

ParkMobile, the #1 parking and mobility company in North America, announced today a new feature that will enable people to pay for highway tolls through their ParkMobile account. This further extends the use of ParkMobile beyond parking and charging into broader transportation and mobility services.

ParkMobile users can sign up for this new tolling feature here: https://parkmobile.io/tolls/. Once the account has been validated and approved, the user will receive a notification that their account is ready to be used to pay for highway tolls. When driving on a toll road, the user can simply go through the express lanes utilizing license plate recognition cameras, and their ParkMobile account will automatically be charged. The user will then receive an email receipt with the full transaction details for their records.

ParkMobile will be immediately available for payments on major toll roads in eleven states, including Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. A full list of tolling authorities that accept ParkMobile and other frequently asked questions can be found here. The company plans to add availability at more toll roads in the coming months.

"Adding tolling to our suite of services is the natural evolution in ParkMobile’s mission to provide smart mobility to every driver everywhere,” says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. “With over 21 million drivers already using ParkMobile for their daily parking needs, we are now enabling them to seamlessly pay for tolls without having to download another app, registering for another service, or attaching a physical transponder to their vehicle.”

Atlanta, GA – February 17, 2021 – ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., announced today a new solution that enables users to pay for parking right from Google Maps. This expands ParkMobile’s work with Google that launched in November 2020 following the introduction of the redesigned Google Pay app. Google Maps and ParkMobile are the #1 and #3 ranked apps in the app store’s navigation category, making this a powerful combination for drivers.

To make a parking payment, a user taps the “pay for parking” button from driving navigation in Google Maps. They are then taken directly to the ParkMobile section in the Google Pay app, where they enter their parking zone number, add time, and finish the payment with any credit or debit card saved to their Google Pay account If it is the user's first-time using Google Pay to park, the user also has to enter the car's license plate number. Once the session has started, the user can easily extend parking time from the Google Pay app without going back to the meter.

This new feature enables users to navigate to their destination and then quickly pay for parking in one seamless experience.”

ParkMobile Launches New Mobile Web App for Contactless Parking Payments

Users will now have more options for contactless payments with ParkMobile

Atlanta, GA – February 3, 2020 – ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in North America, announced today the launch of a new web app enabling users to quickly pay for parking in a mobile web browser. This web app is another way ParkMobile provides more options for people who prefer to make a contactless parking payment but do not want to download a full-featured mobile app. This news comes on the heels of the December announcement that ParkMobile payments can also be made in the new Google Pay app.

A user can access the new ParkMobile web app by visiting parkmobile.io and touching “Enter Zone Number.” The app can also be opened by scanning the QR code posted on a ParkMobile sign or texting "PARK" to 77223. Once in the mobile web app, the user enters the zone number posted on the signs around the space, chooses the duration, and touches the "start parking" button. The user will get email and text alerts when the parking session is about to expire and can extend time right from the web app.

Current users of the ParkMobile app for iOS or Android can use their same account credentials to log in to the web app. Additionally, the web app will be introducing a guest checkout option in the coming months, allowing users to pay for parking without creating an account.

"Contactless payment options are an important way to fight COVID-19,” says Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber. “The ParkMobile web app is a great new tool that will give our residents and visitors more ways to enjoy our community safely."

"We are always listening to our users, and we’ve found that some people prefer a lightweight web app to the full-featured Android or iOS app,” says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. "Our new web app makes it quick and easy to pay for parking in a mobile web browser and will help increase the adoption of contactless payments in cities across the country.”

ParkMobile will enable parking payments through the Google Pay app in over 240 cities across the U.S., providing more convenience for users

Atlanta, GA – November 19, 2020 – ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., announced today that it is seamlessly integrating the ParkMobile experience within the new Google Pay app. With this integration, Google Pay users can pay for parking in over 240 ParkMobile cities across the U.S. without needing to download a separate parking app or create an account.

“Combining ParkMobile and Google Pay provides an innovative new way to create a better parking experience in our city,” says Anthony Mack, Executive Director of the Newark Parking Authority. “This gives our residents and visitors more choices for contactless parking payments.”

This new Google Pay experience leverages the ParkMobile 360 Platform, which offers a set of tools and connections enabling technology partners to plug into ParkMobile’s vast parking inventory, creating new ways for cities and operators to add additional contactless payment options. Built for mass-scalability, the ParkMobile 360 Platform enables partners to roll out across hundreds of cities simultaneously. For ParkMobile clients, there is no additional work required, as all the rates, payments, enforcement, and reporting will still be handled through ParkMobile’s centralized systems.

“We are thrilled to provide Google Pay users with a new way to pay for parking in over 240 cities across the U.S. today, and look forward to expanding the solution to our complete network in the coming months,” says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. “We have built our technology platform to enable our partner ecosystem to seamlessly connect to our APIs, delivering access to the ParkMobile network within their experience.

ParkMobile App Hits the 20 Million User Milestone

Despite COVID-19 impacts on the parking industry, ParkMobile continues to rapidly grow its user base and expand into new cities.

Atlanta, GA – September 9, 2020 – ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., announced today that the company has reached the 20 million user milestone.

ParkMobile launched in North America in 2008 and it took the company nearly 5 years to acquire its first million users. Today, ParkMobile adds 1 million new users every 60 to 70 days. Over the past 12 years, the company has processed over 334,000,000 transactions totaling 57 billion minutes of parking time and over $1 billion of parking fees. ParkMobile is currently the #1 ranked parking app in the app store and ranks #3 in the navigation category, only behind Google Maps and Waze. Additionally, ParkMobile’s strong business growth has landed the company on the Inc. 5000 list, recognizing the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S, for the past three years.

This year has been challenging for ParkMobile, as COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the parking industry. Nevertheless, the company has continued to rapidly expand across the country, as demand for contactless payment solutions has dramatically increased. Since the beginning of the year, ParkMobile has launched in over 50 new locations including Allentown, PA, Atlantic City, NJ, Birmingham, AL, Boca Raton, FL, Colorado Springs, CO, Lake George, NY, Little Rock, AR, and Rockville, MD. The company has also introduced service at several large universities including the University of Alabama, the University of Georgia, Louisiana State University, Mississippi State University, and the University of Wisconsin.

“Twenty million is a big milestone for our company, and I want to congratulate all of our employees for helping us get here,” says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. “We have come a long way in the past twelve years, and I feel like we are just hitting our stride. The future is very bright for ParkMobile.”

ParkMobile 360 Platform to Consolidate Analytics and Rate Management Across Parking Technologies for Fresno, Clearwater, Orlando, and Chattanooga

Platform will help cities improve efficiency managing different parking technologies

Atlanta, GA – September 2, 2020 – ParkMobile, the leader in smart parking and mobility solutions, announced today new partnerships with the cities of Fresno, Clearwater, Orlando, and the Chattanooga Parking Authority to consolidate reporting, policies and rates for their entire parking operation in the ParkMobile 360 platform.

ParkMobile 360 will enable the cities to have a single view of data across the different parking technologies including meters, enforcement solutions and permits. By consolidating the parking data in one place, ParkMobile 360 provides cities with an easy way to track the results for the entire parking operation, including data on parking transactions, payments and citations. ParkMobile 360 will also enable cities to centrally manage all parking rates and policies in the platform and then push that information out to the different technologies.

In recent years, as cities across the United States have worked to modernize their parking operations, there has been an influx of new technologies on the market. While many of these solutions can improve a parking program, managing all of these disconnected stand-alone technologies has created a significant burden for city personnel. ParkMobile 360 solves this problem by bringing everything together in one centralized platform.

“In the past, cities have had very inefficient processes for managing all the different parking technologies,” says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. “Now with ParkMobile 360, cities have one centralized platform to see all their parking data and set rates and policies.”

The ParkMobile 360 platform was officially launched in 2018. It has already been adopted nationwide to manage mobile payments via the ParkMobile app and 20 white label apps. Currently, over 500 municipalities and operators use ParkMobile 360 to manage rates and policies in real-time, and more than 1,000 clients use ParkMobile 360’s reporting and analytics to track performance and gain deep insights into their operation.

“ParkMobile is excited to partner with Fresno, Clearwater, Orlando, and Chattanooga on this initiative,” says Ziglar. “With ParkMobile 360, our clients are able to bring multiple parking technologies together, through a single, intuitive, consolidated platform, making it much easier to manage.”
