Passport Parking App

Don’t forget about the Passport Parking App!

Beginning July 1, 2025, Media Borough will be offering the first 10 minutes of parking FREE while using the app in specific areas of the State Street District.  

The Media Borough Council has approved an ordinance that will benefit drivers in the State Street District. This new change was developed in response to feedback from Media Borough business owners and is aimed at making it easier for drivers to make a quick pitstop to pick up food, merchandise, or passengers along State Street (from Lemon to Gayley Streets and from Baker to Jasper Streets). By using the Passport Parking App to start a session, drivers can park in a metered space for 10 minutes without being charged. This applies to all paid parking spots in the business district, but only while utilizing the app.  

Using Passport Parking is a simple and convenient way to pay, the following steps on how to use the app.

  1. Download the free app on your phone or device
  2. Enter zone number and license plate number
  3. Add payment information
  4. Start parking session

Once a session is started, users will be notified before their session ends, and can easily add more time from their smartphone without having to return to their vehicle. The app also houses information on previous parking sessions and receipts. 

Parking Permit Holders

Media Borough's parking permit system has been enhanced! Instead of applying for a physical permit in-person, drivers are be able to purchase digital permits online. Monthly, quarterly and annual permits will be available for General and Residential Meter permits on the new system. Hang tags will no longer be issued, your valid license plate number will serve as your permit.
