Soon, you can feed parking meter from your phone 9.2.11
INDIANAPOLIS STAR
Next week, you'll be able to feed the meter without leaving the restaurant.
Starting Tuesday, motorists will be able to satisfy their parking meters or pay boxes by using a free smartphone app or calling a customer service number. They also can get a warning when meter time is about to run out.
The service -- part of ParkIndy, the city's 50-year parking-meter lease -- will debut with about 170 meters in Broad Ripple. By year's end, the Parkmobile technology will be available at all of Indianapolis' meters.
You can download the app at parkmobile.com. To pay by phone, you can call (877) 727-5007 and punch in the required information -- including the meter space or zone number -- and how much time is needed.
There's a 25-cent fee for each transaction, but 10 percent will be donated to local charities.
