The free application allows parkers to manage parking sessions efficiently and conveniently, eliminating the need to interact with public surfaces. To begin a session through the Passport Parking app, a user enters the respective zone number (posted on nearby signage and decals) license plate number, and the desired amount of time for parking.
The Town currently uses Passport’s digital enforcement solution and is adding Passport’s mobile payment technology to streamline its operations and offer a better user experience. “We are continuously striving to improve the parking experience in Rockport, so the next step for us was to facilitate an easier and safer form of payment for our parkers,” explains Police Chief John Horvath. “With our parking data flowing through one vendor, we can have a more unified view of our operations and can drive higher compliance rates.”
