Finding for a parking space anywhere in Denver is becoming an impossible task, but once you claim your needle in a haystack, thee is the matter of paying, which can be hassle.
But, Denver has the solution for it and will make parking in the Mile High City less of a drag. The city has partnered with an application called Parkmobile to allow motorists to pay for parking at city owned lots by using their smartphones.
The new app aims to make parking in Denver a bit easier and potentially a lot cheaper.
In an interview, a spokesperson for Denver Public Works explained the benefits of downloading the app. It will allow people to pay for parking lots through the app and receive notifications when their time is expiring.
“This new technology will allow people to park, pay via their mobile device, and not be required to stop or wait in line at a pay station. We are excited to provide this new mobile payment option that provides greater customer service to our residents and visitors so they can get to and from their destinations more efficiently,” the spokesperson said.
The app will also decrease the chance of getting fined as the users will get an alter to their smartphones when the time for they paid for will be about to expire, cutting the chances they will be fined for overstaying their time.
According to the company the app is used by over 6 million people across 2,000 locations.
The app is available in more than 250 cities and is available at the following locations in Denver:
−Acme Lot – 1430 14th Street
−Auraria Lot – 1310 Larimer Street
−Bannock Lot – 1345 North Bannock Street
−Chestnut Lot – 2004 Chestnut Place
−Firehouse Lot – 1322 Blake Street
−North Elati Lot – 1395 N. Elati Street (nights and weekends only)
−South Elati Lot – 1309 North Elati Street
The Parkmobile service isn’t free. Transaction fees vary but the fee for parking in Denveris 35 cents.
The application is available for free in Andriod’s ‘Googleplay’ and iPhone’s ‘App Store’. A nominal Parkmobile transaction fee will be charged for each parking, in addition to the regular parking fees.
