Starting next month the city of Phoenix will offer a pay-by-phone option for parking meters and pay stations.
The new pay-by-phone system will be available in the downtown, uptown and capitol areas of Phoenix.
The app will allow users to pay for parking using their smart phones; it will also help drivers find parking spots and locate their vehicles.
The city operates about 2,000 parking meters, and plans to keep its existing payment methods like coins and credit cards.
The city of Tucson launched a similar parking app earlier this month.
