Parkopedia Partners with Passport to Expand Its Parking Payment Services in North America

Parkopedia, the leading parking data provider in the US, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Passport, a leading digital platform provider for managing transportation and software payments in cities across the US and Canada. The partnership will enable Parkopedia to expand parking payments via its integrated in-car payment platform across Passport’s 5,000 locations in 800 towns nationwide.


Passport’s platform is currently used by cities, agencies and universities, including locations of Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles and Miami, to power their mobility operations. The platform
enables clients to manage their parking rates and rules in a single system of record and gain
insights from their payment data to more efficiently manage on-street activity.

Passport’s payment API will integrate seamlessly into Parkopedia’s integrated in-car payment
platform, which allows drivers to pay for both on and off-street parking, as well EV charging, tolls and ‘pay-at-the-pump’ fueling, all via the vehicle’s infotainment screen. The platform solves the time-consuming and expensive task of aggregating a large number of service suppliers and
payment providers for automakers, uniting them into a single integrated solution. Its unique
Single Sign-On feature removes the need for drivers to register for multiple accounts, enabling a
complete and seamless user experience for drivers.

Anthony Michael Ibrahim, Director of Business Development and Partnerships in North America
at Parkopedia, said: “We are delighted to partner with Passport, increasing our payment
platform’s parking coverage across North America. As providers of cutting edge driver
convenience technology, Passport and Parkopedia are working together to provide positive user
experiences for all involved in the mobility industry, including automakers, drivers, municipalities
and facilities owners.”

Henry Bowe, Director of Product Partnerships at Passport, commented: “Our partnership with
Parkopedia will allow drivers to benefit from convenient parking payment technology via their
in-car infotainment screens. By delivering a seamless parking experience for drivers, we provide
our clients with the tools needed to continually update and improve the parking payment
process within their cities and facilities.”
