Multipass

Modified on Fri, 24 May at 8:45 AM


Overview

Multipass offers the ability to use a single QR code that gives one or more people access to one or more parking sessions within a set of constraints (e.g. number of uses, start/end times). Driver scans in and out with one QR code either as a one-time pass or multiple. This service is relevant for different parking scenarios such as event passes, season passes, private event parking, visitor one-time or unlimited in a defined time frame, and more.
