The borough of Sewickley, Pennsylvania will replace its parking pay stations with Flowbird's pay-by-plate, solar powered parking kiosks, according to a press release.

The borough will also offer the Flowbird mobile payment app and pay-by-text.

The user enters their license plate number and desired length of stay. Payment will then be accepted with either coins or debit/credit card. Once payment has been made, the parking session begins and there is no need to walk back to the vehicle to display a receipt on the dashboard.

Once a user finishes their transaction on the kiosk, they will have the option to input their mobile phone number. When their parking session is about to expire, they will receive a text with the option to add more time remotely without needing to walk back to the pay station.

The kiosks will feature a 9.7-inch color touch display that meets ADA standards.
