Dayton, OH Launches Contactless Parking Payment Option with Passport

The City of Dayton, Ohio is digitizing its parking operations with Passport, a leading transportation software and payments company that is trusted by cities to manage their parking and mobility infrastructure. With Passport’s platform, the City is now offering a mobile option for motorists to pay for parking at nearly 1,300 spaces.

The mobile payment application, Passport Parking, is the first contactless option for parking in Dayton and enables drivers to safely pay for and manage sessions through their smartphones. To begin a parking session, users simply create an account with their email address or phone number and enter their parking space number and desired length of stay. Users can extend sessions remotely and review parking history and receipts with just a few taps. The Passport Parking app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play. Users can also manage their parking online at passportparking.com.

“We have been promoting the Passport Parking app on our website and social channels and the community has received the new app positively,” says City Manager, Shelley Dickstein. “With Passport’s technology, we no longer need to rely on outdated tools and processes and instead can more efficiently manage multiple aspects of our parking operations under a single, centralized system.”
