Pensacola Launching New Parking App January 1
December 29, 2023
The City of Pensacola has partnered with ParkMobile to launch a new parking app for downtown city-owned parking spaces beginning Monday, Jan. 1.
The decision to partner with ParkMobile LLC, the leading provider of smart parking and mobility solutions in the United States, was based on results from the city’s recent Downtown Parking Survey. 45 percent of survey respondents said they prefer to use an app to pay for parking, while 18 percent said that their biggest concern when parking downtown is difficulty using available payment methods.
“In Pensacola, a lot of drivers want to pay to park with an app,” Mayor Reeves said. “They also want an app that’s easy to use. That’s the number one goal of our partnership with ParkMobile — to help create a user-friendly downtown parking experience.”
The ParkMobile app has 50 million users across North America — more than 8 million in Florida — and holds the highest user rating for functionality with more than 1.2 million reviews.
Beginning Monday, Jan. 1, ParkMobile will be available for both iPhone and Android devices and may also be accessed on a mobile web browser. To pay for parking via the ParkMobile app or website, users will enter the zone number or scan the QR code found on the signs located within the parking zone, choose the duration of time they wish to park and select the “start parking” button.

The only time I go to downtown Pensacola is on my way to Joe Patti’s. I was in Mount Airy,NC. this past Oct. free parking anywhere.
I’d like to know where the money is going to. I work downtown and cant hardly drink My coffee because of how bad the roads have gotten, plus having to dodge manhole covers on East Gregory St.
In the old days, you put a quarter in the meter. Now, you download an app, set up an ID and password, authenticate account with phone, link it to your credit card, scan a QR code, and answer a few questions to park. AND, if you park in Gulf Breeze, there’s a different app, account, etc.
After receiving two tickets when I paid to park on the phone over the last year, I am done going downtown Pensacola. As a frequent diner at upper end restaurants, we go right on by Pensacola to beach or orange beach. Put cash meters back and problem solved.
My first ticket I got I downloaded my payment 3 times I thought payment was made. Got back to my car had a ticket. $10.50. I paid right then. Second time I parked same place downloaded my payment went about my business No ticket when I got back to my car. 2 months later I get a nasty $40 ticket in the mail. I tried calling the parking police no answer so I left a voicemail. I paid the ticket but I still haven’t heard back from the lady in charge. I’m not coming back downtown. Apparently you kiosks doesn’t work.
Parking is too expensive downtown!
Just to go eat at a nice restaurant costs 15-20 extra dollars. Paying taxes isn’t enough, they gotta get more money every time you want to go downtown.
The roads are still bad and homeless laying everywhere are worse not better so don’t tell us it goes to infrastructure.
Lots of free parking downtown but you have to walk some.
And what about the 55% who do not want to pay by app…..?
In Pensacola a lot of drivers want free parking like it once was before…
