Why Digital Pay Stations?
In keeping with the mission of providing efficient and equitable parking opportunities on campus, the Department of Transportation Services has replaced many of the single-space meters with more flexible and cost-effective multi-space pay stations this summer. These easy-to-use stations offer the campus community more convenient payment options. With these stations, users can pay with cash, coin, or credit card. Frequent users may also establish a pay station account which allows them to add time to their meter remotely. The pay station system can also alert account holders, through text message, when their time is running low. As a bonus, it will assist in the enhancement of the campus landscape through a reduction in the number of single-space meters.


Pay - By - Space Parking
This type of parking system uses numbers assigned to each parking space, usually on a metal plate on the wall or marked on the ground. When you park your vehicle, note the space number, then proceed to a station and purchase the amount of time you need. Signs (pictured right) will designate where the pay-by-space system is in effect.
