FORT COLLINS, Colo., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., announced today the launch of service at Colorado State University. Students, faculty, and visitors will be able to use the ParkMobile app to quickly pay for parking in hourly designated campus parking areas and on the first floor of both campus garages.

Colorado State University students, faculty, and visitors will be able to use the ParkMobile app to quickly and safely pay for parking in designated parking areas on campus.

ParkMobile is the #1 app in the U.S., with over 21 million users, and is available for both iPhone and Android devices. To pay for campus parking with the app, a user enters the zone number posted on signs in the designated parking areas, selects the amount of time needed, and touches the "Start Parking" button to begin the session. The user can also extend the time of the parking session on their mobile device without going back to the pay station. Additionally, the ParkMobile app will not accept payment outside of designated paid parking hours on the CSU campus, helping those who mistakenly try to pay for parking when it is not required.

The launch of ParkMobile at Colorado State University expands the company's footprint in the state. There are currently almost 800,000 users of the app in Colorado with availability in Denver, Boulder, Winter Park, Telluride, Manitou Springs, Steamboat Springs, and Colorado Springs. Additionally, the app can be used at the University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses, University of Denver, and Auraria Higher Education Center. Beyond Colorado, the app is accepted in over 400 cities across the United States.

"Colorado State University is excited to welcome our students and faculty back from winter break and offer a new mobile option to pay for parking around campus," says Dave Bradford, Director of CSU Parking and Transportation Services. "With ParkMobile, we are improving the overall parking experience at the University."

"We are thrilled to partner with Colorado State University to provide contactless parking payments," says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. "We have hundreds of thousands of users in Colorado who will now have a safe and easy way to pay for parking when they visit the campus. Go Rams!"
