Passport Q2 ‘15 Shows Impressive 31% Growth from Q1; Over 32,000 Parking Spaces Added
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) July 28, 2015 -- Passport, the leading provider of mobile payments for parking and transit, today reports company and product highlights for the second quarter ending June 30, 2015.
“Our strong Q2 results demonstrate continued enthusiasm for our municipal transportation platforms, and we’re excited to move into the second half of the year with incredible momentum. Years ago, mobile payments were merely an ‘added convenience’ for cities,” said Khristian Gutierrez, Chief Business Development Officer at Passport, “but Passport has established mobile payments as a critical component for urban transportation systems. What we’re seeing now is entire programs being centered around a mobile-first platform: parking, transit, and local commerce intersect on mobile in new and profound ways. This software is truly supporting and connecting the ways people move around a downtown environment.”
