  • Parking sessions can be purchased or extended by phone call, mobile app, or on the provider’s website.
  • They offer in app and optional text messages to notify you when your session is expiring.
  • Providers charge an additional convenience fee. Fees vary by provider.

Note: If you need to park in an accessible parking space, there are special rates set for each lot. Check the signage for the parking space for that zone number. See our Accessibility page for more details.

How to use each payment method:

Parkmobile
