New York to test mobile payment for parking meters

New York City plans to test new "pay by phone" parking meters that warn motorists as the time winds down and invites them to buy extra minutes without returning to their cars. After a one-time registration online, drivers will simply use an app or text message to enter the number of the meter they are parking at and the amount of time they wish to purchase, said Bruce Schaller, deputy transportation commissioner.

In coming months, nearly 300 spots will be equipped with the new technology, already used in Atlanta and Washington, for a one-year pilot program.
