Mount Clemens is the latest city to offer pay by phone parking, a service that can make parking - and visiting and shopping and such - easier and more convenient.
The installation of
Parkmobile meters means no more coins are necessary - just an app that can be used on iPhones, Androids, Windows 7 and Blackberry smartphones.
The app can be loaded by phone or online, and once registered users can pay to park at meters anywhere through a Parkmobile Mobile Payment Parking Solution account using the app, the internet or a toll-free number. Parkmobile offers other features such as reminders when parking time will expire.
It's all to spare visitors, customers, employees time spent scrounging for coins and paying for parking tickets. Finding parking and keeping meters plugged can be a challenge in downtown Mount Clemens, the site of the busy Macomb County courthouse and the city's central business district.
“The new Parkmobile system is just another innovative step the city of Mount Clemens has taken to assist our visitor with convenient hassle free parking, “said Mount Clemens Mayor Mayor Dempsey says.
Mount Clemens is the seventh Michigan city to go with Parkmobile meters. Dearborn, South Haven, Ferndale, Birmingham, Petoskey and Grand Rapids have all joined Parkmobile as well.
