Drivers can now ‘plug’ certain City parking meters using
their smartphones in Spokane. A test period for the pay by phone technology launched
today.
The test includes 41 meters on the block adjacent
to City Hall and Riverfront Park.
To use pay by phone parking, you must
download the QuickPay App
onto your smartphones. A link to the app can be found at SpokaneCity.org. If the
maximum time limit is purchased for a parking meter, smartphone users are
allowed a one-time paid extension of 15 minutes on that meter. After the
maximum limit including the extension expires, drivers must move their vehicle.
Drivers who attempt to use the pay by phone feature after the maximum time
limit allowed will receive a message that they have exceeded the stay allowance
at that meter. When setting up QuickPay on a smartphone, users can choose to
receive notice of payment and time expiration via text, email, or both.
When the test period is over, the pay by phone feature
will be gradually extended to all 3, 000 meters in the City.
