WESTWOOD, N.J., Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the U.S., announced today a new partnership with the borough of Westwood, New Jersey, enabling residents and visitors to pay for parking on their mobile device. The ParkMobile app is now available at more than 800 on and off-street spaces throughout the borough. With the recent COVID-19 crisis, many municipal leaders across the country are encouraging residents and visitors to use the app instead of the meter to prevent the spread of the virus.

ParkMobile continues to expand contactless parking payments throughout the Garden State.

To pay for parking with the ParkMobile app, a user enters the zone number posted on the stickers and signs around the meters. The user then selects the amount of time needed and touches the “Start Parking” button to begin the session.
