VANCOUVER, Dec. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - PayByPhone, a leading global provider of mobile parking payment solutions, now offers Atlanta residents and visitors a simpler and better parking experience. With PayByPhone, parkers in Atlanta have access to more than 2,700 on-street spaces throughout the city.

According to one recent study, Atlanta is one of the eight American cities where traffic costs more than $2,000 per driver on average. In many situations, parking challenges contribute heavily to congestion.
