Parking data provider Parkopedia has partnered with Passport, a digital platform developer managing transportation and software payments, to integrated its in-car payment platform across Passport’s 5,000 locations across Canada and the US.
Passport’s platform is currently used by cities, agencies and universities, including locations in Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles and Miami, to power mobility operations. The platform is designed to manage parking rates and rules in a single system of record. It also provides insights from payment data to more efficiently manage on-street activity.
Passport’s payment API will integrate into Parkopedia’s integrated in-car payment platform in 800 towns, which allows drivers to pay for both on and off-street parking, as well EV charging, tolls and ‘pay-at-the-pump’ fuelling, all via the vehicle’s infotainment screen.
The platform aims to solve the time-consuming and expensive task of aggregating a large number of service suppliers and payment providers for automakers, uniting them into a single integrated solution. Its unique ‘Single Sign-On’ feature removes the need for drivers to register for multiple accounts.
Anthony Michael Ibrahim, director of business development and partnerships in North America at Parkopedia, said: “As providers of cutting-edge driver convenience technology, Passport and Parkopedia are working together to provide positive user experiences for all involved in the mobility industry, including automakers, drivers, municipalities and facilities owners.”
