Application makes paying for parking efficient, convenient

Macon-Bibb, Ga. (July 13, 2018) — Macon-Bibb County announces the launch of PassportParking^Ⓡ, a mobile application that allows parkers to pay for their parking through their smartphones. The app is powered by the global leader of mobile payments for parking and transit, Passport, serving parking operations throughout North America.

In addition to being able to pay for parking through the app, users are also able to:

• Extend their sessions remotely
• Keep track of all parking history
• Receive notifications
• Get email receipts

“We are excited to offer Macon-Bibb a quick and easy way to pay for parking,” said Ben Steffen, Territory Manager, Lanier Parking Solutions. “The PassportParking app is accessible to anyone with a smartphone and will give residents and guests a convenience available right at their fingertips.”

“At Passport, we pride ourselves on being able to offer a seamless parking payment experience for drivers,” said Passport Sales Director Kelsey Owens. “When using the PassportParking app drivers have the luxury of extending their parking time from the app — whether at a meeting or dining out. The app is available when you need it.”

Passport is also the service provider of Macon-Bibb’s annual residential permits. The digital permits, built on the same architecture as Passport’s mobile pay service, utilize cutting-edge web-based technology to create a convenient and easy-to-use option to manage parking permits. Macon-Bibb residents have 24/7 access to manage their parking permits.

Drivers can download the free PassportParking app from the App Store and Google Play. Users can also manage their parking online at ppprk.com. Annual residential permits are available for purchase at maconbibbpermits.rmcpay.com.
