Based in Atlanta, iAccess Life is a mobile app that lets users with disabilities rate, review and research the places they regularly go to easily ensure that the space is accessible and can accommodate their needs. The company provides a platform that aims to shine a light on accessibility flaws, including parking.
"I have personally had issues with out of order sidewalks and lack of curb cuts to access parking meters. The integration with Passport will provide convenient parking options through the iAccess Life app," says Brandon Winfield, CEO/Co-Founder, iAccess Life. "We look forward to providing our users the best experience possible and are excited to see Passport being proactive."
This strategic partnership, in which iAccess Life will integrate with the Passport Operating System to enable its users to pay for parking directly through their app, will reach more parkers and provide people with disabilities more convenient access to pay for parking. It also brings municipalities and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) community closer together to solve the challenges they face on the street.
Passport's Chief Revenue Officer, Khristian Gutierrez, says this partnership furthers Passport's mission of creating more livable and equitable communities through technology. "The Passport Operating system enables businesses to think differently about solving problems for their customers by leaning on our integrated technology expertise to reach a new user segment—in this case, parking," he explains. "We're excited to partner with iAccess Life to expand parking accessibility for our client cities nationwide in a genuine and meaningful way.
