Pay-by-Phone Parking and More!

The City of Key West is about to launch a new option to make parking on the island more user-friendly.

Passport Parking, the first cashless payment option for parking that will be available in the city, enables drivers to safely pay for parking sessions through their smartphones. With Passport’s digital permitting solution, parkers can manage their long-term parking sessions from a user-friendly portal, eliminating the need for physical hang tags or trips to City Hall. With more convenient options available to pay for and manage long and short-term parking sessions, tourists and locals can enjoy a hassle-free parking experience and the City can more effectively manage its streets and sidewalks.

City of Key West Parking Director John Wilkins explains that the City was initially only pursuing Passport’s digital enforcement solution. “We quickly realized we were in need of a centralized solution rather than multiple vendors to manage our parking needs,” said Wilkins. “Integrating everything under one roof with Passport enables us to offer our visitors and citizens more choices.”

Beginning Monday, motorists who park in City parking spaces and lots will need to enter their license plate number. This simple process means you don’t need a paper receipt for your dash.

Another advantage of Passport is that the system centralizes all aspects of parking. That will make it easier to pay parking tickets as well as providing an easy and streamlined means of contesting a ticket if need be.
