Chris Stangel, director of the Downtown Florence Alliance, added, “ParkMobile steps forward for downtown businesses and their customers, providing seamless payment options that were not available before.”
We are excited to partner with ParkMobile to introduce modern mobile payment options for parking in Florence,” said Mayor Betterton. “This initiative aligns with our commitment to enhancing convenience and accessibility for our residents and visitors.”

Yes, very. No city, college, airport, hospital or other public institution is in business to make a profit on parking. But strict enforcement of parking regulations designed to improve traffic flow, business development, and efficient transportation can serve as a major disincentive to scofflaws and drivers who may be uncaring about blocking a fire hydrant or emergency lane. And the fines those drivers pay can help defray the need for higher taxes or reduced services.
