Starting this week, downtown Delaware visitors will start seeing changes to the parking program as it transitions from Passport parking to ParkMobile.<\/p>\n
City crews are switching out signage at on-street and off-street parking spaces, and meters are being calibrated for the new $1 per hour rate, approved in 2023 by City Council. During this week of transition, parking enforcement in the paid spots will be paused until April 8. Other changes include a monthly parking pass, available for purchase via the\u00a0ParkMobile<\/a>\u00a0app or web browser.<\/p>\n Free parking, with a 2-hour maximum time limit, will continue to be offered Monday through Friday. Free parking with no time limit will continue to be offered in the municipal lot on Spring Street. Also, coins will continue to be accepted at the meters.<\/p>\n ParkMobile is available for both\u00a0iPhone<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Android<\/a>\u00a0devices, and can also be accessed on a\u00a0mobile web browser<\/a>. To reserve a parking pass, users must enable location services, and choose the correct location. Then, verify the correct month, license plate number and payment method. The monthly permit will be available under the \u2018Activities\u2019 tab on the ParkMobile app. To pay for zone parking via the ParkMobile app or website, users will enter the zone number or scan the QR code found on the signs located within the parking lot, choose the duration of time they wish to park and touch the \u201cstart parking\u201d button.<\/p>\n Learn more about downtown parking and ParkMobile here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.delawareohio.net\/about-us\/parking<\/a><\/p>\n
