Residents and visitors who use the service will have access to the app’s helpful features, including the Maps feature, which allows drivers to locate parking areas 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 drivers with the closest PayByPhone parking location.

Drivers will also be able to opt-in to receive a reminder text before their parking session expires, so they can either extend their session if they need to, or get back to their car in good time to avoid a fine.

Adam Dolphin, UK Managing Director for PayByPhone, says, “By launching PayByPhone with City of York Council we are helping to make the parking experience for residents and visitors as hassle-free as possible. People have busy lives and enough to worry about. Our app simplifies things so they can get on with what matters most to them, without having to stress about parking. I would encourage drivers to download the app now - registration takes less than 30 seconds - so that they can make use of the new service as soon as it comes into effect.”

Download the app from the App Store or Google Play. For a full list of areas where PayByPhone is available or to learn more, please visit www.paybyphone.co.uk.
