Single platform to simplify car parking goes nationwide
Auto Express
|May 28, 2025
FOLLOWING successful trials involving 10 local councils operating car parks, the long-heralded National Parking Platform (NPP) is being rolled out in an effort to simplify the parking experience for drivers.
The Department for Transport (DFT) has commissioned the British Parking Association (BPA) to take forward development of the platform "at no cost to the taxpayer", following liaison with major parking app operators such as RingGo, JustPark and PayByPhone.
Announcing the move, the DfT said the new platform "will enable drivers to pay for parking in all participating car parks on their preferred app-ending the scramble to download multiple apps and encouraging a more flexible experience".
