New Canaan is currently using the same system.

DARIEN, CT — Town officials are considering using a mobile app to help commuters find parking near the Darien Train Station, writes the Darien Times.

The system, developed by Boxcarapp.com, works with commercial or church property owners near a train station to use their free parking spaces and gives that entity a cut of the daily parking fee.

In Darien, the Goodwives Shopping Center and Fisherman’s Net restaurant were mentioned as possible spots that might be able to work with Boxcar for parking spaces, according to the publication.
