 New
Parking App Can be Used at On-Street Meters Along Hillsborough Street
The City of Raleigh announced the debut of a pilot program
that will allow drivers to purchase metered parking from their phones.
Drivers can download the PassportParking app and securely pay
for metered parking using a debit/credit card. The app, which has also been
available at the North Carolina State
University campus since 2015, allows users to
monitor their session, extend parking remotely (up to the maximum allotted
time), and view all parking history.
The new parking app is being introduced as an easier, more
convenient option for drivers to pay for and keep track of their parking. Users
can manage everything from their phones while also helping avoid parking
citations.
As a part of the city’s four-month pilot program that begins
late October, the app will be available at on-street parking locations in the
Hillsborough Street area where signage is displayed. The area includes
Hillsborough and Oberlin Streets to Hillsborough and Concord Streets and some
adjacent side streets. Passport signage will indicate how users can download
and get started with the app.
The PassportParking app is free to download from the iPhone App Store and Android Google Play. Users can also manage their parking
online at ppprk.com.
