After a three-month pilot partnership with mobile parking ticket payment solution TicketZen, the City of Boston announced on Monday that it will be extending the the union for another year. The app, a Terrible Labs conception, is available to download on both iOS and Android devices.

Back in September, City Hall began using TicketZen’s platform to allow residents the ability to pay their parking tickets more easily. Users need only scan the barcode printed on the actual ticket and a transaction is completed using TicketZen technology. Gone are the days of having to plug in the appropriate numbers through an online form or having to venture to City Hall to submit a payment.

And TicketZen data has shown that it helps reduce the likelihood of a parking ticket recipient also incurring late fees. During the trial period, more than one quarter of tickets paid through the app were paid in three days or less.

Between September and December, the collaboration between TicketZen, the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics and the Boston Transportation Department saw roughly 4,500 people pay approximately 7,000 tickets, facilitating some $250,000 in revenue through the use of the app.

“The feedback the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics received from both Boston social media users and Boston Transportation Department personnel has been very positive,” Tracey Ganiatsos, spokeswoman for the Boston Transportation Department, told BostInno. “After an RFP was issued, we extended the partnership with TicketZen for an additional year.”

TicketZen is just one of several apps that have emerged from the steadily growing mobile parking app sector. Using city data to provide streamlined improvements for everyday nuisances like paying parking tickets (or even finding street spots and feeding meters remotely) was a positive trend in 2014, and one that the City of Boston seems content with given the extended partnership.

“TicketZen has seen strong citizen adoption throughout our pilot program with the City of Boston,” said TicketZen co-founder Ryan Neu. “Thousands of Boston citizens have used TicketZen to pay for their parking violations and over 50% of those people have used TicketZen more than once. As one of our pioneer partners, the City of Boston has demonstrated a commitment to mobile innovation, benefiting the city and its citizens.”
