To pay for zone parking using the mobile or web app, a user enters the zone number posted on signs around the parking spot, 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.

"There are plenty of people who use ParkMobile in other cities and now they are able to use the same app when they visit us here in Louisville," said Tiffany Peebles, Director of PARC. "We're also excited about the new text to park and Google Maps payment options that ParkMobile provides. We think these will be great for folks who are new to mobile payments and may not want to download an app while they're on-the-go."

ParkMobile is used locally at University of Louisville and the Kentucky Exposition Center, as well as in other markets across Kentucky including Lexington, Bowling Green, and Richmond.
