Sep. 13, 2017: The Town of Eastchester has contracted with PANGO to provide a new and better way to pay for parking using your smartphone.
The town board unanimously supported the agreement based upon the convenience and security of paying for your parking via your phone, which would quickly replace the parking meter.
There is no need to carry around spare change or look around for a meter to feed; however, coins will still be accepted at all meters as in the past.
With PANGO'S mobile app, starting your parking transaction takes just a few seconds. You can control your entire parking session with ease and easily extend your session from anywhere as well.
You can also opt in to receive notifications 15 minutes prior to the ending of your parking session. You can opt in to receive customizable alerts as well.
Customers can sign up for PANGO using their credit card through an app and can include as many vehicles as they want on their account. In addition, Complus (the company that provides the police department with parking enforcement handheld computers) and PANGO have teamed together for greater accuracy and convenience for our officers working throughout the town.
PANGO will also work in the villages of Tuckahoe and Bronxville.

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
