Don't force drivers to use parking apps, RAC says
RAC urges against mandating parking apps for drivers, stressing the need for multiple payment options. The National Parking Platform (NPP) aims to integrate various parking apps into a single platform, but more local authorities and providers must join. RAC's survey highlights issues faced by 75% of drivers using parking apps, emphasizing the importance of offering alternative payment methods to cater to all users. To avoid complications, drivers experiencing connectivity problems should gather evidence of payment attempts.
