Monaco’s Digital Transition: PayByPhone Parking App
Monaco’s digital transition continues with the implementation of a parking payment app. Mayor Georges Marsan launched the operation on the morning of 22 November directly on site, on Boulevard Albert I, in the presence of local press.

Faithful to its approach in favour of the digital transition, the Communal Council wished to implement a dedicated app allowing for the payment of parking directly online, available to visitors and residents of Monaco.
