City of Beverly – New Downtown Parking App Going Live 9/8

The City of Beverly is upgrading our downtown parking program, and will soon use the Passport Parking App. We appreciate your patience while we update signage and our website to ensure a smooth transition. The app will go live on Friday September 8th. The GoParkIt App will remain available for a limited time, so we ask that you use any funds remaining in your account before transitioning to Passport. If you do not have any funds in your GoParkIt account, we recommend using the kiosks to pay for parking until the Passport App is live. Parking kiosks are located in parking lots and on streets in the downtown parking area, and accept credit card and coin payments. If you have any issues with your GoParkIt account, please reach out to support@goparkit.com.
