OSHKOSH, Wis. (WFRV) – The City of Oshkosh announced on Friday that it is adopting a new way to manage parking permits, hoping to enhance convenience, efficiency and simplify the process.
Developed by Passport Labs, the system allows drivers to apply for permits online, pay for and manage them, making the paper-based system obsolete.
