The City of Prospect Heights is offering Passport mobile pay at its Metra Station Lot location beginning December 1st. Passport's solution allows drivers to pay for parking from the convenience of their smartphone or tablet. With Passport, riders of the Metra will now have the option of making credit card payments as opposed to using cash. This launch partners the City of Prospect Heights with Charlotte, NC-based Passport and Chicago, IL-based Total Parking Solutions.

"The Passport mobile payment app is an exciting update to our Metra Station parking location," said Mayor Nicholas J. Helmer. "This will make paying for parking and getting on the Metra as quick of a process as possible."

Users can get started by downloading the free PassportParking app for iOS or Android devices. Users can also register online at ppprk.com.
