QUAKERTOWN, PA — Quakertown is set to revolutionize its parking system through a partnership with ParkMobile, a leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in North America. In early 2024, the ParkMobile app will be available for on-demand parking at 1,209 on-street and off-street parking spaces throughout Quakertown.
ParkMobile has been a trusted mobility management platform for cities across North America for over 15 years. “We’re working toward our goal of making cities more livable by enabling them to better manage their curb space to create improved flow and accessibility,” said David Hoyt, Managing Director of ParkMobile. “Through the adoption of our mobile app, Quakertown’s residents and visitors will enjoy a seamless parking experience, allowing them to spend more time enjoying the offerings downtown has to offer.”
The move to digital parking is a part of ParkMobile’s ongoing efforts to expand its footprint across North America, providing users with a more convenient and streamlined parking experience. The company currently serves over 3 million users in Pennsylvania alone, with availability in Philadelphia through the MeterUp app and in Pittsburgh.
Borough Manager Scott McElree expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with ParkMobile, viewing it as a pivotal step towards transforming Quakertown’s parking system. “We envision a community where residents, visitors, and downtown businesses can navigate and park seamlessly, free from the hassles of traditional parking systems,” McElree said. “Together with ParkMobile, we hope to create an experience that not only prioritizes convenience but also boosts the vibrancy of our downtown.”
With 50 million users across North America, ParkMobile is available for both iPhone and Android devices and can also be accessed through a mobile web browser. To pay for parking via the ParkMobile app or website, users will enter the zone number or scan the QR code found on the signs located within the parking lot, choose the duration of time they wish to park, and touch the “start parking” button.
Quakertown’s partnership with ParkMobile signals a significant step towards modernizing its parking system, providing a seamless, digital solution for residents and visitors alike.
