Seal Beach Prepares for Summer with New PassportParkingⓇ App

Just in time for the first big waves of summer, the City of Seal Beach announces the launch of its new mobile parking application, PassportParking®. The app allows parkers to pay for their parking with their smartphones. PassportParking, is powered by Passport, the global leader of mobile payments for parking and transit, serving cities and universities through North America.

This is the first time Seal Beach will have a mobile payment app available to residents and visitors. Parkers are not only able to quickly pay for parking on the PassportParking app but they can also monitor and extend their parking sessions remotely, view payment history and receive email receipts.

We are completely transforming our parking operation. Our goal is to provide a higher standard of customer service for residents and visitors. The PassportParking payment option gives Seal Beach parkers an easier option to pay for parking,” said Seal Beach Police Cmdr. Steve Bowles. “The app offers a great convenience for when you’re at the beach or around the city. Being able to extend your time right from your phone wasn’t an option before now.”

The PassportParking app will be available in more than 600 parking spaces (six zones) throughout Seal Beach. The zones include areas near the beach: 1st, 8th and 10th streets, as well as along Main Street and Electric Avenue (near 8th St. and 10th St.) and Main Street between Central and Ocean avenues (closest to 10th St.).

The Passport technology enhances a city’s experiences for residents and visitors,” said Nathan Berry, Passport executive director. “People can enjoy Seal Beach at their leisure without worrying about rushing back to a meter to extend time or cutting their time short. The app allows you to determine how you spend your time, at your pace.”

Passport is the industry’s leading mobile technology solution specializing in enterprise business applications and payments for the public and private sectors. The company has also successfully launched the MetroParking  app in Los Angeles. The PassportParking app is free to download through the App Store or Google Play. Users can also manage their parking at ppprk.com.
