As part of its goal to make parking payment as convenient as possible, Parkmobile announced that it has conquered another market – St. Petersburg, Florida.
Again, the service is touted as a “time saving,” though (again) it requires user registration at Parkmobile’s website. Parking can be paid either by the (mobile) Internet, a dedicated mobile app or by calling a toll free phone number (877-PARK-714 or 1-877-727-5714).
In addition to the “payment part,” you can also select the option to receive text message alerts and reminders fifteen minutes before your parking time expires. There’s also an option to track parking expenses and print reports through Parkmobile’s website.
The program will be offered citywide at all on-street parking meters in St. Petersburg…
Commenting on the new service launch, St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster said: “Beginning in June, we have implemented a number of changes in the downtown parking program designed to make parking downtown easier, promote downtown businesses, and help citizens and visitors avoid parking citations while we preserve adequate parking availability and hold the line on costs during tight budget times. This new service will be a great convenience for downtown visitors and aligns with our goals of making downtown parking easy and convenient.”
