PITTSBURGH — The Public Parking Authority of Pittsburgh announced Friday that three different mobile apps will be available for drivers to pay for parking time.
The Flowbird mobile app and the Meter Feeder app are being added as payment options, giving additional mobile app choices along with the Go Mobile PGH app powered by Parkmobile, according to a news release.
The Go Mobile PGH app has been available to parkers in Pittsburgh since 2016, and its success has demonstrated the popularity of using a mobile app to pay for parking, the release states.
All three apps can be downloaded from the App Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android. Users can pay for parking right from their mobile devices, receive text notifications when time is about to expire, and they can extend their time without running out to a meter.
“We feel that is very important to give our parkers as many convenient ways to find and pay for parking as possible to remain in compliance with parking regulations,” said David Onorato, executive director of the Pittsburgh Parking Authority. “There are several popular mobile applications on the market today and we want people to have a choice in which app they prefer to use.”
The Parking Authority continues to offer payments by credit card or coin at more than 1,000 parking kiosks throughout the Downtown area for non-app users.
The new mobile applications will be available this spring. Authority personnel will be installing new decals on all of the parking kiosks to let parkers know about the available apps.
