Now Brooklynites can pay parking meters by cellphone
ParkNYC: No quarters necessary
No more dashing out from restaurants, shopping or movie theaters to load the parking meter. Without much fanfare, a new method to pay Muni-Meters on city streets by using smartphones has rolled out in Brooklyn.
By using the ParkNYC app, drivers can use their phones to pay for parking, check how much time remains on the meter, keep an eye on a countdown clock and extend their parking time without returning to the car.
The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) launched ParkNYC last December in Midtown Manhattan. The program went live in Brooklyn roughly two weeks ago, and is in operation in the Bronx and Staten Island. It’s expected to come to Queens sometime this summer.
