Paid Parking Apps for Downtown Omaha?

[ChadJK]

Is the ParkOmaha app for the street meters and the ParkMobile app for the garages?

I thought it was all the Park Omaha App?

I reached out to Park Omaha, and this was their reply back to me:

Both apps may be used for on-street and off-street parking. Park Omaha has been in use for years here in Omaha. Park Mobile is something we recently integrated into the new parking ecosystem to provide customers with an additional way to pay. They offer a text-to-pay option that citizens may utilize if they do not want to download another application to their device by texting the word PARK to the number 77223.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the apps. I would be happy to answer them. Below is the blurb we give customers.

Issuing a payment for a garage stay is now the same as meters here in Omaha! You may download the Park Omaha app, available on IOS and Android. There's also texting the word PARK to 77223 and following the in-text link to issue payment, as well as the kiosk located within the facility that accepts coins and credit cards, kiosks are also located on each block face through the downtown area for meter payment. - This is all noted on the signage within the facility, if one payment option does not work, please utilize the other.

I did too, but then my daughter had something to attend at Holland Performing Arts Center and she's never really had to deal with downtown parking before, so I was trying to walk her through it. I brought up their website to see what they recommended for parking and they mention the ParkMobile app, but not the ParkOmaha app.

We use Park Mobile for street parking downtown when it's too late for public transportation. I prefer that app for simplicity and it sends a reminder to extend payment when we are within 15 minutes of expiration.
