Phone parking is a software-based solution to on-street, off-street, garaged and a variety of other paid parking scenarios. Phone parking allows customers to pay for parking with the use of only a cell phone and credit or debit card. It eliminates the need for walking to pay stations, counting coins for meters and returning to the street to renew time. It is an entirely green technology, and can be implemented by parking operators with virtually no capital investment, no new equipment, and no installation of any infrastructure.
