Pinellas County issued the following announcement on Oct. 25.
Pinellas County park and boat ramp patrons will now see upgraded, cashless parking terminals following the completion of a Parks & Conservation Resources project that updated the terminal modems to 4G-LTE.
The new terminals will accept Visa and MasterCard credit card payments only and will require entry of a vehicle tag number. Patrons will still be required to display a parking receipt until mobile parking is rolled out next year. Parking terminals are located at Fort De Soto, Sand Key Park and Fred Howard Beach access locations, all Pinellas County boat ramps, and the Sutherland Bayou, Belleair and Park Boulevard stand-alone boat ramps.
This upgrade is the first step in the department’s plan to launch mobile parking technology that aligns with neighboring municipalities by next spring. It also improves communications reliability and faster transaction speeds.
