“Providing our parkers with the ability to handle their parking experience through their smartphone gives them the convenience they want,” said Michael Manzella, the city’s transportation manager.

“From the user’s perspective, they will be able to easily extend time on their parking sessions without having to feed the meter and at no additional transaction cost. With Passport building us a custom app, we have a great opportunity to positively rebrand parking in the city of Asbury Park," Manzella added.

"We hope that all visitors to our downtown and waterfront find that this is a better experience than how paying for parking has been in the past,” said Asbury Park Mayor John Moor.

“We expect that more and more people will use the app to pay for parking, which will ease the burden on the parking pay stations.”
