The city manager’s office sent out the City Manager’s Newsletter last Friday. The full newsletter can be found by going to concordnh.gov and clicking the “Newsletter” button. Here are some highlights:
Pay by phone with app
Soon, you can pay for on-street and garage locations with the PayByPhone app. It’s the easiest way to pay, and requires just your mobile phone.
Why park with PayByPhone?
Never risk a parking ticket: Receive text message reminders before your parking expires
Never run back to the meter: Extend your parking if more time is needed
Never carry coins again: Pay with the app or at paybyphone.com
Next time you park, just look for the green PayByPhone signs on the side of your parking meter or parking kiosk. Download the PayByPhone app, or visit paybyphone.com to start parking.
