In a <\/span>new collaboration<\/span><\/a> with Google Pay, Google Maps just became even more versatile. The app<\/a>, which is already useful for a variety of purposes\u2014from getting directions to booking a workout class\u2014now has a tool that will allow you to pay for parking directly from the app, stopping you from having to touch gross public parking lot payment machines.<\/span><\/p>\n

This collaboration was designed by Google to reduce the number of public surfaces you\u2019ll need to touch to help keep you clean and safe during the <\/span>COVID-19<\/span><\/a>. However, it\u2019s also one that just makes sense and will remain useful and welcome once the pandemic ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

To pay for your parking spot from the app, open Google Maps and tap on the \u201cPay for Parking\u201d button that should pop up once you\u2019re in the lot. From there, all you\u2019ll need to do is enter your meter number, how long you\u2019re planning on parking for, and \u201cPay.\u201d You\u2019ll also be able to \u201cfeed the meter\u201d and extend your parking session from the app, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new tool also allows you to pay for transit fares for over 80 transit agencies from the app. This is perfect for spending a day wandering downtown or lengthy vacations alike. You can purchase your fare even before you arrive at the station and you\u2019ll be given the option to pay with cards already linked to your Google Pay account. From there, all you\u2019ll need to do is tap your phone on the reader or show your digital ticket from the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google stated that the parking lot pay feature starts rolling out today on Android in over 400 cities in the U.S. (including New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Boston, Cincinnati, Houston, and more), and that iOS support will follow shortly after. The transit fare pay feature will expand to 80 agencies globally on Android sometime within the next few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n
