Individuals in participating cities can now make payments, such as utility bills and parking citations, from a single source
Charlotte, N.C. (April 11, 2024) — Passport, the leader in unified parking and curb management, and CityBase, a Euna Solutions Brand and leader in payment technology, are partnering to provide a more seamless payment experience for both customers and city staff in the City of Evanston, Illinois. By combining Passport’s industry-leading platform and CityBase’s highly secure, self-service payment kiosks, the two companies now provide the Evanston community with a more accessible, convenient channel to make citation payments.
