Passport’s Open Parking Ecosystem is a cloud-based software platform that allows cities and parking operators to manage all digital parking payment providers and related services through a single backend system. The platform centralizes the management of parking rules, rates, and restrictions, enabling seamless integration with a wide range of third-party apps, mapping services, and in-car payment systems via APIs. This approach gives motorists the freedom to pay for parking using their preferred app while ensuring consistent enforcement and compliance. Operators benefit from unified reporting, streamlined financial reconciliation, and the ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and user preferences without being locked into exclusive vendor contracts.
