CALGARY – The Calgary Parking Authority has launched a new iPhone app they hope will make parking in the downtown core quicker and more convenient.
The MyParking app is a free and can be downloaded on iTunes.
Some of the features the app includes:
Start and Stop a Parking Session: ParkPlus cell phone account customers can start and stop a parking session with the touch of a button through the app.
Parking Availability: customers can view the number of stalls available in CPA parkades in real time. This feature is also tied into a convenient map that will provide directions to each parkade.
Estimated On-street Availability: view what streets and areas are typically the busiest by date and time. Please note: this feature does not provide real-time data. It uses historical data from the ParkPlus system to provide a general overview of on-street parking availability.
Find My Vehicle: customers can mark their vehicle on a map, take a photo or write a note to help them find their vehicle after they’ve parked.
The app also provides a direct link to CPA’s ParkAid service, comprehensive contact information and access to the latest updates from CPA’s Twitter account @CalgaryParking.
