Make Parking Simple

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 hundreds 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.
