Phoenix launches new app to find downtown parking

PHOENIX — The city of Phoenix announced on Thursday they have launched a new app that will help drivers find downtown parking.

The new web-based app, ParkPHX, will provide drivers with information on all available public parking locations in downtown Phoenix. The app can be accessed through web or phone and will allow drivers to book parking reservations for valet parking, electric vehicle charging stations, event parking and more.

The new app is led by the Phoenix Convention Center, which manages all of the downtown Phoenix parking.

April Truncellito, deputy director of the Phoenix Convention Center and Venues, told KTAR News on Friday that the app was developed following feedback from the community on what needed to be improved on parking in downtown Phoenix.

“We developed this after gathering public feedback from the community on what they were looking for and what they wanted and they said they wanted a better online tool to be able to find and reserve parking,” Truncellito said.

Phoenix Convention Center director Jerry Harper said in a press release that the new app will help drivers cut down on time looking for parking and give them more time to explore downtown Phoenix.

“We know when people come downtown, they are looking to catch a game, see a show or have a night out at our amazing restaurants,” Harper said in the release.

“As the fifth-largest city in the country, our bustling downtown brings thousands of visitors and residents to events and attractions. ParkPHX will allow people to reserve their spot ahead of time and gives them more time to explore downtown — not search for parking.”
