Radnor Township Launching Parking Smartphone App Thursday

Radnor Township is official rolling out its new parking payment system this week and will have a public event for anyone who wants to learn how to use the new tech-focused system.

The township will begin using the Whoosh! smartphone parking app with a "grand opening" event from 8:30 a.m Thursday, Dec. 1 at Christopher's, 108 N. Wayne Ave., Wayne. The Wayne Business Association and Parkeon are hosting the event.

The event will feature light refreshments and food.

The app is free to download on Apple and Android devices. According to the app's website, users enter payment information on the initial use and don't need to enter bank or credit card information again. The information is kept secure, according to the website.

Users looking to park in the township can avoid kiosks entirely when using the app, and even add time to the meter from the app. The app is not required to use township parking spaces and if drivers don't want to pay the app's 31 cent convenience fee they can use the kiosks as one normally would.
