People in the city will be able to skip the meter and easily pay for parking on their mobile device

ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., announced a new partnership with the City of Emeryville, California, to enable residents and visitors to pay for parking on their mobile device. ParkMobile is the city’s first mobile parking app and will be available at over 500 parking spaces around town. With the recent COVID-19 crisis, city leaders encourage residents and visitors to use the app instead of the meter or pay station to prevent the spread of the virus.

The ParkMobile app is the #1 parking app in the U.S., with over 22 million users, and is available for both iPhone and Android devices. ParkMobile can also be accessed on a mobile web browser for those who do not want to download an app. To pay for parking using the mobile or web app, a user enters the zone number posted on signs around the parking spot, 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.
