Downtown visitors can now pay for parking using their mobile device! We've partnered with ParkMobile to offer a contactless payment option for all surface parking downtown. You can download the app or access it through your mobile web browser.

To pay using ParkMobile:

  • Enter the zone number posted on signs near your parking spot.
  • Enter your parking space number.
  • Select how long you'd like to park.
  • Touch "Start Parking" to begin the session.

Learn more about using the app at parkmobile.io/how-it-works.

If you don't wish to use the app, you can continue paying using one of the parking kiosks located downtown. Those parking in the Wright Street Parking Deck should continue paying at the walk-up pay kiosks inside the deck or at the exit gate. We hope to offer mobile payment solutions for the parking deck in the future.
