Finding a parking space, checking real-time availability, paying for parking, or charging an electric vehicle—Parcus+ has launched an app that brings all these services together on a single platform. With this new digital solution, the local public operator aims to make travel easier for motorists and provide a smoother, more connected parking experience.
Searching for a spot, comparing parking facilities, visiting a pay-and-display machine, or juggling multiple apps to manage one’s journey—these are all processes that Parcus+ aims to streamline. This new application consolidates the key parking-related services in Strasbourg into one tool, designed to keep pace with changing habits and the evolution of urban mobility.
A key new feature is an intelligent guidance system that helps motorists choose a parking facility based on their destination, budget, or personal preferences. Availability can be viewed in real time, and occupancy forecasts help users anticipate periods of high demand. The displayed availability even accounts for the travel time required to reach the parking facility. If a facility is nearing capacity, the app can suggest alternatives. Users can then launch navigation directly via Waze or Google Maps.
From on-street parking to ticketless access—everything in one place
The Parcus+ app also centralizes parking payments, covering both on-street parking and participating parking facilities*[1]. Users can start, extend, or end their on-street parking sessions directly from their smartphones. At compatible parking facilities, entry and exit are entirely ticketless, managed via license plate recognition or a QR code. Payments, receipts, and transaction history can be accessed via a personal account, which also serves as a central hub for managing registered vehicles and payment methods.
The Parcus+ app also includes a charging service for electric vehicles. Drivers can access charging stations directly through the app—eliminating the need for multiple digital tools—while benefiting from a guaranteed best rate.
A loyalty program focused on local businesses
Another key feature of the Parcus+ app is its loyalty program. Users earn points whenever they use the app in parking facilities, which can then be redeemed for rewards offered by local partners.
Covering retail, leisure, culture, and entertainment, the program encourages users to explore the local area while supporting Strasbourg’s economic stakeholders. In this way, parking becomes a gateway to accessing local offers and services.
A first step toward a broader mobility offering
Beyond the services provided to motorists, the Parcus+ app is part of a more comprehensive approach to urban travel. By guiding drivers to the most suitable parking facilities and allowing them to anticipate occupancy levels, the app helps reduce unnecessary searching for spaces and ensures a more balanced distribution of vehicles across the city.
The app is designed to evolve over time, with plans to integrate additional mobility services, such as public transport and bike-sharing schemes.
With this new tool, Parcus+ aims to transform its role—shifting from a simple parking operator to a provider of everyday services, dedicated to making mobility simpler, more connected, and more responsible.
The Parcus+ app is available for download now via the App Store and Google Play.
