Salt Lake City highlights My SLC mobile app and new parking meters
Summary
Host Yousef Maung demonstrated the My SLC app and walked through new parking meters' language and payment options (credit/debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, coins-only cash), and noted remote payments via the Park SLC app.
Capital City News walked listeners through two city service updates: the newly promoted My SLC mobile app and the roll-out of updated parking meters.
On the My SLC app, host Yousef Maung framed the product as a “communication and knowledge hub that puts Salt Lake City in the palm of your hand,” and encouraged non-emergency city-service reporting and engagement through the app. The episode included a testimonial-style line: “Thank you, My SLC app, for changing my life,” presented as a promotional segment.
On parking meters, the host demonstrated the user flow: select one of the four most-spoken languages, press the purchase parking button, enter the space number displayed on curb signage, choose between credit/debit or contactless payment (including Apple Pay and Google Pay), or pay by cash (coins only). Listeners were told they can print a receipt or skip it, and that remote payment via the Park SLC app is an alternative.
The broadcast offered practical instructions but did not include details such as implementation timeline for meter roll-out across neighborhoods or which vendor supplied the hardware. It also did not contain troubleshooting guidance for users who encounter payment errors.
