ParkMobile Partners with the SFMTA on Smart City Parking Program
New Partnership Modernizes Parking for Over 26,000 Spaces and Simplifies Payments for Bay Area Drivers
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which manages the city’s transportation system, has announced the launch of ParkMobile in San Francisco. Today, ParkMobile, part of the global mobility company Arrive, will become one of the primary mobile payment providers for the city’s 26,000 on-street parking spaces.
San Francisco has been an early adopter of digital parking technology since 2011 and continues to seek opportunities to offer residents and visitors new resources for a seamless urban journey.
Through ParkMobile’s industry-leading digital parking tools, drivers now benefit from enhanced convenience features, including timely notifications before a session expires and the ability to extend parking remotely, delivering a more seamless and reliable parking experience.
"Parking in San Francisco just got easier, faster and stress-free," said Scott Booker, General Manager of Parking at Arrive. "With ParkMobile, residents and visitors can pay for parking right from their phone. Our intuitive app puts convenience at drivers’ fingertips, saving time and reducing everyday parking frustrations. By partnering with the SFMTA, we’re bringing a seamless, reliable parking experience to one of North America’s busiest cities, helping people spend less time paying for parking and more time enjoying their day."
“This collaboration is a testament to the SFMTA’s commitment to optimize our parking systems,” said Viktoriya Wise, SFMTA Streets Division Director. “This new partnership with ParkMobile allows us to improve the customer experience for visitors and residents parking on our city streets,”
With more than 120,000 commuters traveling every day across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge alone, workers are continuing to return to San Francisco's offices where an intuitive parking app can make the commute simpler. ParkMobile is proud to help cities like San Francisco reduce traffic and keep moving by allowing drivers to efficiently get off the road and into their desired parking locations–part of Arrive’s mission to ease urban mobility through the integration of smart mobility technology.
ParkMobile recommends drivers download the ParkMobile app before their journey. Depending on the location, drivers will pull into a space, easily open the app, select the zone number, space number or input their license plate number, set their parking duration and begin their session, all with a few simple smartphone taps. Alternative methods to complete the payment process via phone will be provided through updated signage located on existing parking meters.
