The City of Milford, CT launches mobile parking payment option with Passport

MILFORD, Conn., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The coastal City of Milford is partnering with mobility software and payments company, Passport, to offer visitors a more convenient way to pay for parking at more than 750 on and off-street spaces across the Walnut and Gulf beach areas. The contactless payment application, Passport Parking, allows users to pay for parking seamlessly through their smartphones. The Passport Parking app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play. Users can also manage their parking online at passportparking.com.

To begin a parking session using the Passport Parking app, users simply create an account with their email address or phone number and enter their license plate number (for off-street lots) or their parking space number (for on-street parking) and desired length of stay. Users can extend sessions remotely and review parking history and receipts with just a few taps.

"With Passport's mobile parking app, visitors looking to spend time in our charming, coastal city can now experience seamless, user-friendly parking payments," says Milford Police Chief Keith Mello.
