ParkJockey Launches One-Touch Parking™ App

ParkJockey Launches One-Touch Parking™ App in Chicago

Chicagoans Can Now Drive With Peace of Mind & Let ParkJockey Handle the Rest – from Locating to Reserving Parking & Cashless Payments

 

CHICAGO September 15, 2014 ─ ParkJockey, developers of the “One-Touch Parking™” solution, announces its time-saving and eco-friendly parking locator and reservation tool is now available in Chicago. The no-cost mobile application drastically reduces the time spent searching for a parking spot by providing parking locations, estimates walking distances and even learns your parking-specific preferences so users can make an informed and smart parking reservation, pay for it in advance, and seamlessly sync their reservation with their calendar.

ParkJockey rolled out its One-Touch Parking reservation application in London, Miami and New York earlier this year with rapid adoption rates and we expect to bring the same level of relief to the more than 2.6 million Chicago residents and nearly 40 million people who visit the city annually,” commented Managing Partner, James Weiss, ParkJockey Chicago. “Chicago is known as the City that Works and ParkJockey’s parking application is going to make sure its dedicated workforce gets to work with less stress and without overpaying for their parking.”

At launch, ParkJockey’s application included access and reservation capabilities for more than 6,000 parking spaces in Chicago and this number is expected to grow exponentially by the end of the year.

Our advanced team of technology experts and business leaders have invested and developed an pj_app_handapplication that eases logistical challenges for commuters and travelers, while also helping to ensure parking lot owners and operators are operating at their full capacity and revenue potential,” remarked CEO and Co-Founder of ParkJockey, Umut Tekin. “But we are not stopping there. ParkJockey is already planning to roll out its second application by the end of the year. The premium application has not yet been announced but can best be described as a ‘virtual valet’; we are expecting it to revolutionize parking as we know it.”
