ParkMobile™ and REACH NOW Partner to Create New Smart Mobility Solutions for Parking and Transit

ANAHEIM, Calif., June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ParkMobile and REACH NOW, the leading providers of parking and multi-modal mobility solutions in North America, announced today at the 2019 International Parking and Mobility Institute Conference (IPMI) a new strategic partnership that will create the most robust parking and mobility solution in the industry. ParkMobile and REACH NOW have both been pioneers in their respective categories of parking and public transit mobility solutions.  Now working together under the umbrella of the new BMW and Daimler joint venture, the companies are collaborating to build integrated Smart City solutions that will create seamless mobility experiences for parking, transit and multi-modal transportation for consumers and cities.

According to a recent survey conducted among ParkMobile's 14 million users, 55% say they take public transit every month. This shows the need to bring together multi-modal solutions to better facilitate mobility for consumers as they transition from car to transit or other first and last mile modes. The new solutions will allow a person to use the ParkMobile app to pay for parking in a transit lot, then easily use REACH NOW to buy a ticket to ride the train, bus or ferry.

IPMI conference attendees can see a demo and meet representatives from ParkMobile and REACH NOW at booth #777 in the expo hall. ParkMobile will also be showcasing several innovations at the conference including its new advanced analytics platform that will provide clients with better insights into their parking operation.

"Mobility is not a one size fits all solution and we know people are using a mix of transportation options to get where they are going," says Jon Ziglar, CEO of ParkMobile. "To truly enable smart mobility, we are bringing together best-in-breed solutions from ParkMobile and REACH NOW to create a seamless experience as people park and get on the train, bus or ferry."

This partnership between ParkMobile and REACH NOW was initiated by the recent joint venture by BMW and Daimler, that brings industry-leading transit, parking, charging, ride sharing and ride hailing companies under one umbrella, creating new opportunities for collaboration. In addition to transit, ParkMobile is also actively working with CHARGE NOW to integrate parking and charging solutions.

"We are very excited to partner with ParkMobile on this new mobility solution," says Nat Parker, CEO of REACH NOW. "By bringing together the leader in parking and the leader in public transit mobile ticketing, we are creating smarter mobility solutions that help drive more intelligence for cities and help consumers get from point A to B."
