A new way to pay for parking has gone live in Dundee as JustPark takes over the cashless payment system.
The JustPark app lets drivers plan ahead using pre-book, as well as avoiding penalties for overstaying with smart notifications and remote session extension. It also includes a “direct me back to car” function to help people find their vehicles quickly.
Future innovations will include predictive availability of parking spaces and real time discovery of spaces, with five more trials to come as the project progresses. Further plans feature a scheme which encourages drivers to park in different areas and get a reward of money off from an independent shop, pre booking and dynamic and emission based pricing.
There will be a crossover period when the old system is still working, but the JustPark app is cheaper and easier to use – it’s the highest rated car parking payment app in the UK, with an average satisfaction rating of 96% and has more than three million users across the country.
The new payment system comes to Dundee as the first of The Mobility Innovation Living Lab projects (The MILL), which are working with partners to make Dundee a testbed for new innovations in transport.
Available from the usual app stores the JustPark app is live now.
