Mobile Parking App Goes Citywide in Beverly

Drivers in Beverly can now use their smartphones to pay for parking throughout the city at all lots and street parking meters.

The city recently rolled out GoParkit’s GPS pay by cell parking application on a citywide basis. GoParkit Technologies Inc. developed the app which enables drivers to conduct parking transactions with their smart phone.

The mobile system eliminates the need for coins and cash and warns the user 15 minutes prior to their ticket expiring. After a successful three-month pilot program, the app is now available citywide to pay for parking. The pilot saw a larger than expected number of drivers adopt the system with many users choosing the app each day. .

“We are excited to offer this technology which will provide great convenience to residents and visitors alike,” said Mayor Mike Cahill. “In Beverly we strive to be at the forefront of creative thinking and innovation. Offering the GoParkit app is a prime example of this.”

“The cost per hour, time restrictions and exact location are all automatically populated through the mapping technology,” said GoParkit’s US Business Director, Brian O’Flynn.

Users also have the ability to extend the parking session remotely and use a find my car feature.
