Jenkintown Borough is transitioning from coin-operated parking meters and kiosks to a digitized payment system. This transition will begin in November and will be completed by year end 2024. There will be no fee to park Mon. through Fri. after 6:00 PM and all times on Sundays year-round in all Borough owned parking lots and previously metered parking spaces. This will not change the annual ‘Holiday Parking’ with the addition of free parking on Saturdays beginning on Thanksgiving and going through the New Year Holiday. Several 20-minute street parking spaces have/will be designated on West Avenue, Leedom Street and Summit Avenue for quick/easy access to businesses without a parking fee. The 20-minute parking spaces will also serve as unloading spaces when needed for business deliveries, improving safety and reducing traffic congestion.
ParkMobile, who has provided this digitized service to the Borough since 2018 as a payment option, will be the vendor providing all parking payment options at all formerly metered spaces and kiosks throughout the Borough.
ParkMobile allows users to pay for parking via their smartphone application, web browser, text, or through calling a phone number. Information on how to use ParkMobile’s payment options in Borough’s paid parking areas can be found on the ParkMobile information page on Borough website.
After careful review of available factors, Borough Council approved transition from coin operated meters to the digitized system at their September 17th, 2024, meeting. Transition from kiosks to the digitized system was approved by Borough Council at their October 16th, 2024, meeting. To that end logistical transition planning including installation of signage, striping, determining applicability designation and development of a means to disseminate information electronically has taken place or is ongoing.
