Our story

Born from a parking ticket on Main Avenue.

In the spring of 2019, Sherry Likes ran back to her Subaru with two coffees and ten seconds to spare. The meter had already flipped red. That $35 envelope under the wiper became the spark for MyParkPay.

Downtown Twin Falls street with parked cars

A small idea, deeply local.

We aren't a venture-backed app from San Francisco. MyParkPay is owned and run by Sherry from a small office on Blue Lakes Boulevard, with a team of five Idahoans who answer phones, wave at customers in the grocery store, and care a great deal about getting the small things right.

From day one, three rules have guided every product decision:

  • Honesty over upsell. One flat convenience fee. No surge pricing. Ever.
  • Local first. If a feature only helps Phoenix or Miami, we don't build it.
  • Humans you can call. Real numbers, real names, picked up before the third ring.
Mission & values

Why we keep showing up.

Make the city easier

Every saved minute at a meter is a minute spent in a Twin Falls shop, restaurant, or river overlook. We're invested in the back-of-the-block economy.

Treat data like a guest

Your card details never touch our servers. Your location is never sold. Read the specifics in our Privacy Policy — it's written in plain English.

Bet on accessibility

Big buttons, screen-reader labels, no required app, support over the phone. Parking shouldn't gatekeep anyone, regardless of phone or ability.
