ST. CLOUD, Minn., Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ParkMobile, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the United States, announced today a new partnership with the City of St. Cloud. The official launch date of this new partnership is Monday, August 10, 2020. The new mobile integration features the ability for residents and visitors to skip the meter and make contactless parking payments direct from their mobile device.

The user then selects the amount of time needed and touches the "Start Parking" button to begin the session. The user can also extend the time of the parking session on their mobile device, without having to go back to the meter.

ParkMobile has a large presence in Minnesota and across the Midwest. There are over 650,000 users of the mobile app in the state of Minnesota. In the City of Minneapolis, ParkMobile also powers the MPLS Parking App which will be available in St. Cloud as well.
