Asbury Park Transition To Pay-By-Plate Public Parking Completed

The city of Asbury Park says it is continuing to improve the parking experience for residents, employees and visitors.

Earlier this year the city launched a new license-plate recognition system to allow for transition to Pay-by-Plate public parking. Parking pay stations were converted to the Pay-by-Plate configuration in mid-February, and now, with the recent conversion of the mobile app
(www.asburyparkapp.com), the transition is complete.

The license-plate recognition system eliminates the need to enter parking space numbers, allows
parkers to move cars during their purchased time to different spaces within the same paid parking zone, and eliminates the need for hang tags or decals for permit holders. The system will also provide the city with better data on parking availability and turnover, allowing for more informed decisions on future policy changes.

Using Pay-by-Plate Public Parking

Parkers can save their license plate for easy re-use in the existing mobile parking app, which can be downloaded at www.asburyparkapp.com. For the parking pay stations, parkers can save their licensd plate info at www.myparkingreceipts.com to tie it to a specific credit card.

Signs indicating the zone number have been installed throughout the metered parking areas and on the parking pay stations. When using the parking app, refer to the signage posted at your location to enter the zone number. Parking meter stations will automatically input the zone. For more information, please see the “Pay-by-Plate Parking – Frequently Asked Questions” section.
