Greenwich Expands Use Of Mobile App For Downtown Parking

GREENWICH, CT — The Town of Greenwich has expanded the ability for visitors to use the Parkmobile app to pay for parking with their mobile device on Greenwich Avenue, First Selectman Peter J. Tesei announced Wednesday.

Patrons of the town's parking lots already have been able to use the app on their mobile device to pay for parking, in addition to the multi-space or single space parking meters.

Now the capability of using the app has been extended to Greenwich Avenue, with plans in the coming months to expand to metered parking spaces on additional streets throughout town.

"We brought Parkmobile to Greenwich because our residents and visitors deserve convenient
and modern parking options," said Tesei in a statement. "We encourage downtown
visitors to download the Parkmobile app, look for the green Parkmobile sticker on meters, and
complete their transaction with a few clicks on their phone. Customers who prefer to pay via credit
card, where available, or coins are still free to do so."

Added Greenwich Deputy Police Chief Mark Marino, who now oversees the town's parking operations, "A major part of the Parking Services Department’s mission is to make the parking experience in Greenwich as convenient and hassle free as possible. We feel that the additional option of paying for parking on Greenwich Avenue through Parkmobile is in keeping with this desired goal."

During the previous 12 months, more than 40 percent of transactions on surface parking lots currently served by multi-space meters have been made through the Parkmobile app, a growing percentage that is in line with other municipalities.

The Parkmobile app is available to download from your device’s app store. Details and FAQs pertaining to how the service works in the Town of Greenwich can be found by going online to the Parking Services page at www.greenwichct.gov and clicking on the Parkmobile icon.
