Vancouver, Canada – Paying for parking for residents and visitors in Oceanside, CA, has just gotten easier thanks to the simplicity of cashless parking. The City has partnered with PayByPhone, a global leader in mobile parking payments, to roll-out its services where paid parking is required involving more than 1,600 off-street parking lot stalls, with plans to implement toward on-street spaces in the future. Jessica Farrell, Parking Enforcement Supervisor, City of Oceanside, says, “We are delighted to offer residents and visitors to our beautiful City the secure, fast option of cashless parking for the first time. People no longer have to remember to have their bank cards, credit cards or cash to pay for parking, or to rush back to their vehicles to add more time to avoid getting a citation, or worse, cut short an enjoyable beach day because they don’t have any more money on hand. PayByPhone offers our residents and visitors great flexibility when they park. They can start and extend their parking sessions in a matter of seconds through the PayByPhone app, so they can fully enjoy vacation-mode for as long as they had planned when visiting some of our key attractions like the iconic Oceanside Pier, the Supergirl Pro Jam or any of the other fun events held on our beaches.” Parkers using PayByPhone also have access to the app’s Maps and the Nearby Parking features. The Maps feature allows them to locate parking before they leave for their destination and to pin their vehicle location onto the map once they have parked. The Nearby Parking feature instantly provides them with the closest PayByPhone parking location number. And the app is available in 14 languages, making it inclusive for the many tourists who visit the City. Carmen Donnell, Managing Director NA for PayByPhone, says, “We are thrilled to launch PayByPhone in the City of Oceanside. We are very happy PayByPhone is making the parking experience as hassle-free as possible for residents and visitors to this beautiful coastal area. People have busy lives so now they don’t need to stress about carrying money to park. Our app simplifies things so they can get on with what matters most to them, without having to worry about parking. We encourage drivers to download the PayByPhone app now, so they can use the service immediately. Registration takes less than 30 seconds.” For a full list of areas where PayByPhone is available, and to start using it today, download the app from the App Store or Google Play Store or visit the PayByPhone website www.paybyphone.com.

Vancouver, Canada – The City of Pompano Beach has signed up to Meters for Trees, the multi-award-winning tree planting initiative from PayByPhone, the global leader in mobile parking payments, effective immediately. Jeff Lantz, Parking Manager, the City of Pompano Beach, says, “Meters for Trees is a meaningful and easy way for us to move toward an eco-friendlier future by ensuring we are not only addressing air quality for our residents and visitors but also supporting our own environment through local tree planting.” PayByPhone, a parking payments provider for the City of Pompano Beach since 2021, across its nine on- and off-street parking locations, first launched Meters for Trees in the UK in 2019, as part of its broader environmental campaigns including Green December. These initiatives help forward-thinking cities, universities, and parking operators reduce their costly parking hardware as they opt for a mobile app-based parking service. Over the past five years, PayByPhone’s environmental campaigns have collectively planted over 225,000 trees globally. Under the terms of Meters for Trees, PayByPhone will plant one tree for every multi-space pay station and for every ten single space parking meters that are removed in the City of Pompano Beach, totaling 11 trees, in 2025. Trees will be planted in Withlacoochee State Forest, through PayByPhone’s partner, veritree, an organization that connects businesses with verified tree planting projects to elevate global reforestation. Meters for Trees supports the City of Pompano Beach in furthering its sustainability initiatives by removing parking hardware and planting trees while at the same time saving costs. By removing payment hardware and planting trees, CO₂ is absorbed by each newly planted tree as it grows, directly benefitting the local environment through carbon footprint reduction as CO₂ is sequestered from the atmosphere. Digital parking payments also eliminate the need for cash collection vehicles that would be emitting harmful tailpipe gasses as well as reduce costly compliance issues for the City with expensive card readers in the payment hardware. Carmen Donnell, Managing Director North America for PayByPhone, says, “We’re proud to work alongside partners like the City of Pompano Beach who share our vision of sustainability and environmental stewardship. In welcoming the City to our Meters for Trees campaign, we are making a meaningful step toward building a greener tomorrow.” Meters for Trees is a multi-award-winning initiative, having won 12 international awards, including a Global Gold Award at the 2019 Green World Environment Awards in the Carbon Reduction and Local Authorities categories, the Green Champion Award in Carbon Reduction at the 2019 Green Apple Environment Awards, and the Environmental Initiative Award at the 2020 SEAL Business Sustainability Awards. The City of Pompano joins The City of South Miami and The City of Coral Gables, Florida, The City of Olympia, Washington, and The City of Allentown, Pennsylvania, who joined Meters for Trees in 2025.

California’s Vehicle Code, which sets the rules for driving and stopping vehicles throughout the state, has tens of thousands of sections. Not surprisingly, some of those sections are relics of the time they were adopted, and do not reflect the evolution—or even allow the use—of new technologies. One example is Section 22508(e).  Until December 31, 2024, this section required cities to use physical parking meters or pay stations if they wanted to charge for on-street parking.  Thanks to SB 532, sponsored by State Senator Scott Wiener, three cities (Santa Monica, Long Beach, and San Francisco) may now pilot paid parking without a physical meter or pay station.  https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB532.  In the last few years, mobile and online payment have exploded for products from coffee to concert tickets to car insurance.  More than 16% of all retail products are purchased online today, an increase from around 7% ten years ago.  https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_ecommerce_sales_as_percent_retail_sales. And according to a November 2024 report from the Pew Research Center: “The vast majority of Americans – 98% – now own a cellphone of some kind,” and 91% own a smart phone.  https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/fact-sheet/mobile/.  SB 532 reflects the reality of how payments are made in 2025, and allows cities in California to keep up with the private sector—not to mention other cities around the country (like Doral, Florida and Columbus, Ohio) that offer mobile-only parking payment zones.  And it does all this while respecting California values, requiring an “Equitable and Accessible Parking Cash Payment Plan” to ensure non-mobile phone users have a way to pay with cash. Allowing cities to modernize their payment systems saves money on infrastructure purchase and maintenance.  Meters and pay stations are expensive to procure and keep in good working order, and can be targets for vandalism and fraud.  While meters and pay stations may ultimately prove to be an indispensable part of an equitable and robust on-street parking payment system, allowing cities to experiment with modern technology can only lead to improvements for customers and the public.  It will be fascinating to see how SB 532’s three pilot cities (and others that may be added) exercise this new opportunity.  And the answers will come sooner than we think: their pilot authority expires in 2033.

Vancouver, Canada – The City of South Miami, Florida, announces it has signed up to Meters for Trees, the multi-award-winning tree planting initiative from PayByPhone, the global leader in mobile parking payments. Alfredo Riverol, Chief Financial Officer, the City of South Miami, says, “Meters for Trees is a meaningful and easy way for us to move toward an eco-friendlier future. Since removing all parking hardware in the City and encouraging mobile parking payments, Meters for Trees now ensures we are not only addressing air quality for South Miami but also supporting our own environmental goals through local tree planting.” PayByPhone, one of the parking payments providers for the City of South Miami since 2011, across its 27 on- and off-street parking locations, first launched Meters for Trees in the UK in 2019, as part of its broader environmental campaigns including Green December. These initiatives help forward-thinking cities, universities, and parking operators reduce their costly parking hardware as they opt for a mobile app-based parking service. Over the past five years, PayByPhone’s environmental campaigns have collectively planted over 225,000 trees globally. Meters for Trees supports the City of South Miami in furthering its sustainability initiatives through the removal of parking hardware and the planting of trees while at the same time saving costs. The City of South Miami has already removed approximately 700 parking meters under Meters for Trees equating to 39 trees planted in Withlacoochee State Forest through PayByPhone’s partner, veritree, an organization that connects businesses with verified tree planting projects to elevate global reforestation. PayByPhone will also contribute $500 towards helping plant trees locally. By removing payment hardware and planting trees, CO₂ is absorbed by each newly planted tree as it grows, directly benefitting the local environment through carbon footprint reduction as CO₂ is sequestered from the atmosphere. Additionally, mobile parking payments reduce costly compliance issues for the City by eliminating the need for expensive readers in the payment hardware and the need for vehicles to collect cash and to service parking meters and stations. In the City of South Miami, this equates to approximately 200 miles per year. Carmen Donnell, Managing Director North America for PayByPhone, says, “Welcoming the City of South Miami to our Meters for Trees campaign is a meaningful step toward building a greener tomorrow. We’re proud to work alongside partners who share our vision of sustainability and environmental stewardship, making it easy for parking operators to contribute to reforestation efforts.” Meters for Trees is a multi-award-winning initiative, having won 12 international awards, including a Global Gold Award at the 2019 Green World Environment Awards in the Carbon Reduction and Local Authorities categories, the Green Champion Award in Carbon Reduction at the 2019 Green Apple Environment Awards, and the Environmental Initiative Award at the 2020 SEAL Business Sustainability Awards.
