Project Overview

The City of Asheville is transitioning to Flowbird as its new parking meter payment app, with the official launch set for July 1, 2025. Flowbird was selected through a competitive request for proposals process with the current vendor’s contract set to expire in July. The app offers a convenient, secure, and flexible way to pay for parking meters using a mobile device or computer—without requiring users to download the app. Features include real-time parking availability, multiple payment options, and the ability to manage several vehicles under one account. Passport mobile payments will be accepted through June 30, 2025, during the transition period.

This project was completed in July 2025.
