Paying Congestion Charges is Convenient and Easy with Multimap

Multimap.com, the leading European internet mapping company, today announced that it is working with Transport for London to improve its payment finder system. The system gives users of www.cclondon.com access to detailed maps and information about their nearest place to pay congestion charges in London, enabling them to find the relevant outlet easily. The service also provides details of the level of disabled access and opening hours at each outlet.

Drivers using TfL’s service can find their nearest retail outlet, petrol station or self-service machine by visiting www.cclondon.com and clicking on the “Payment finder; where is my nearest place to pay?” button. This takes them to the “Payment Finder” service, at which point they enter their street, town or postcode; indicate whether they require disabled access; and click on the “Search” tab. A map then appears with icons representing between one and ten of the nearest outlets to the address entered, depending on the precision of that address. Users can pan N,S,E,W and zoom in/out. A list of the top ten outlets appears beneath the map in order of proximity to the user’s specified search area. This list includes full address details, opening hours, level of disabled access, and a link to a close-up map for each outlet listed.

Jeff Kelisky, Multimap’s Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our online mapping services make it much easier for users to find places to pay their congestion charge. This significantly enhances their experience of the payment finder service. We’re pleased to be working with Transport for London.”
