BEND, Ore., Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oregon State University - Cascades is launching a
mobile payment option for parking with Passport, a leading
transportation software and payments company that is
trusted by cities to manage their mobility infrastructure
through it's digital platform. In addition to offering the Passport
Parking application, OSU-Cascades also plans to leverage Passport's
digital platform to power its parking enforcement operations and to
offer digital parking permits.
Paying to park with Passport Parking is simple and convenient.
After downloading the free app, a user enters the respective zone
number (posted on nearby signage and decals), a license plate
number and the desired length of time for parking. Users receive
notifications when their sessions are about to expire and can
extend their sessions remotely. Receipts and parking history are
also easily accessible through the app.
"We are excited to be launching a mobile payment solution with
Passport that offers a convenient way to pay and provides a daily
parking option," says Casey Bergh,
transportation program manager. "With the Passport mobile app our
students and employees have flexibility in choosing which lot to
park in, and they don't pay for parking on days they can carpool,
bike, walk, bus, or work remotely."
More than 800 universities, cities and private operators partner
with Passport to manage and simplify their parking and mobility
needs. The City of Bend also
leverages Passport's digital platform to offer mobile pay parking,
digital enforcement and permitting, license plate recognition (LPR)
and payment processing. By removing costly hardware and digitizing
its operations with Passport, the City expects to save upwards of
$250K per year.
"With Passport's digital platform in place, OSU-Cascades can
successfully manage its parking and mobility needs from a single
back office," says Sam Warnecke,
Passport sales executive. "We look forward to continuing this
partnership with OSU-Cascades and to expanding our services in the
great City of Bend."
The Passport Parking app is free to download from the
App Store and Google Play. Users can
also manage their parking online at passportparking.com.
