Baltimore Residents and Visitors Can Now Enjoy Hassle-Free Parking Payments Thanks to PayByPhone

Parking in the City of Baltimore, MD, USA, just got easier and more modernized for residents and visitors, thanks to The Parking Authority of Baltimore City appointing PayByPhone, a global leader in mobile parking payments, to its parking operations. PayByPhone is now available at parking meters at City-owned parking lots and at on-street metered parking spaces Downtown in the Central Business District, and will be rolled out in Fells Point, Federal Hill, as well as in and around Camden Yards and the Inner Harbor area.

Carmen Donnell, Managing Director North America for PayByPhone, says, “We are thrilled to launch PayByPhone in Baltimore and happy that PayByPhone is helping to make the parking experience hassle-free for residents and visitors to Maryland’s largest city and its economic hub. We encourage drivers to download the PayByPhone app now, so they can use the new service immediately. Registration takes less than 30 seconds.”

Peter Little, Executive Director of the Parking Authority of Baltimore City, says, “As well as greater flexibility and a better user experience, parkers can opt-in to have text message reminders of when their parking session is about to expire to avoid costly citations.”

Cashless parking offers parkers great flexibility. A parking session can be started and completed in three quick steps – entering the location number, entering the duration, and paying.

PayByPhone offers parkers the ability to extend their parking session remotely via the app or a wearable device, such as the Apple Watch, without having to return to their vehicle or visit a payment kiosk.

Parkers using PayByPhone also have access to the app’s Maps and the Nearby Parking features. The Maps feature allows drivers to locate parking before they leave for their destination and to pin their vehicle location onto the map once they have parked. The Nearby Parking feature instantly provides them with the closest PayByPhone parking location number. And the app is available in 11 languages globally, including Spanish and Italian, making it incredibly inclusive for those who live, work, and visit Baltimore.

For a full list of areas where PayByPhone is available, and to start using it today, download the app from the App Store or Google Play Store or visit the PayByPhone website www.paybyphone.com.
