Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb
CLEVELAND, Ohio-The City of Cleveland, in collaboration with ParkMobile, has officially launched a new digital parking solution in downtown Cleveland, in what city officials say is an effort to revolutionize the parking experience for both residents and guests of the largely Black major American city.
This launch will phase out approximately 2,500 coin-based parking meters, which will transition into the uniform ParkMobile app-based parking system. The transition is also aligned with Mayor Justin Bibb’s vision to modernize operations throughout the City of Cleveland - improving efficiency and enforcement.
"We are thrilled to partner with ParkMobile to introduce this advanced technology and provide both residents and visitors with a much-improved parking experience in our city, said Mayor Bibb, 36, "the city's fourth Black mayor, its second youngest, and an obviously p[progressive mayor.
With this new system, users can digitally pay for parking by entering the zone number posted nearby directly into the ParkMobile app or their mobile web browser. Non-smartphone users can also utilize ParkMobile by calling their interactive voice response service.
Additionally, users can extend their parking period through the app, providing more time to enjoy the restaurants, events, stores, and amenities downtown. This extended stay option aims to boost revenue for Cleveland business owners and operators, the mayor says..
David Hoyt, managing director of ParkMobile, said that the company is considered reliable.
"ParkMobile is the trusted parking and mobility management platform for more than 600 cities across North America," said Hoyt. By eliminating the stress of parking in urban environments, we're working towards our mission of making cities more livable."
