Businesses can now provide parking discounts through Detroit’s new parking kiosks. Customers will be given a five-digit code from participating vendors that can be used at the kiosks or in the parking app.
Park Detroit Spokesperson Jamaine Dickens says businesses can also offer discounts through a website.
“They would log on to our website which is www.parkdetroit.us and go to the merchant’s page and register there as a merchant,” Dickens says. “And there they can open an account and then begin providing discounted parking to their customers.”
Merchants would pay for the discounts using credit cards.
