Whether they value flexibility or simplicity, the NPP provides choice for every driver.
For drivers
Choose your favourite, trusted parking app from the list of providers already connected to the NPP.
The NPP is a not-for-profit, open platform that connects multiple parking service providers to thousands of locations nationwide.
Instead of asking drivers to download another app, it integrates the ones they already use, making parking simple, seamless, and consistent everywhere.
Created by the Department for Transport and now run independently, the NPP is governed by Local Authorities, service providers, and the British Parking Association — ensuring it grows based on collaboration and real-world feedback.
Changing how we pay for parking
The National Parking Platform transforms parking by creating a joined-up market where parking is simple:
Drivers
can pay with their app of choice.
Parking operators
can sell their spaces online more easily.
Innovators
can create better apps and smarter payment solutions.
Towns and cities
can gain insights into parking to improve local transport.
