Summary Background:
The City of Hyattsville currently has one vendor (Passport) providing parking payment services and electronic infrastructure. City leadership has heard from residents, businesses, and other patrons that they would like to have other convenient options, specifically ParkMobile. ParkMobile is well known in the area, and many of our patrons are familiar with their system and their phone app. We have also learned that we will be able to integrate ParkMobile into our existing Passport platform with minimal (if any) changes to our system.
The Mayor and Council received a presentation at the February 20, 2024 regular meeting and were able to have their questions addressed.
Next Steps:
Upon approval and legal review the contract will be executed.
Fiscal Impact:
Approximately $3,000 to replace or update some of the existing signage.
City Administrator Comments:
Recommend Support. Several businesses have expressed support for the addition of ParkMobile.
Community Engagement:
The Communications Department will work with the vendor to develop an outreach plan to inform the public of this new parking payment option.
Strategic Goals:
Goal 4 - Foster Excellence in all City Operations
Legal Review Required?
