ParkNYC App

Introduction
ParkNYC is the official mobile parking payment system for New York City, now powered by the global parking leader Flowbird. It is an indispensable tool for anyone driving in the five boroughs, allowing you to pay for metered parking without having to feed the Muni-Meter. The app offers a 'pay-per-transaction' model or the ability to preload a 'wallet' for added convenience. Since enforcement is based on your license plate, there is no need to display a dashboard receipt. The app integrates deeply with NYC's parking rules, helping to ensure you are parked legally and paid up.
Key Features
Pay by Plate: Enter your zone and license plate number to pay; enforcement officers scan your plate to verify.
Zone Map: View a map of active parking zones to ensure you are paying for the correct location.
Wallet or Direct Pay: Choose to load funds for faster checkout (like E-ZPass) or pay as you go for a small fee.
Remote Extension: Add time to your session from anywhere if you are running late, up to the maximum time limit.
Find My Car: Save your parking location to easily find your vehicle on the busy NYC streets.
