Quarterless Parking

Have you noticed the green stickers on all the parking meters around town? We've seen them in North Ward, downtown and Ironbound. So what is it? It's a new way to pay for parking without the need for pesky quarters and simply using your cellphone. It is done by a nationwide company called ParkMobile. Newark is the second city in the state to install it.

From the website: "Hourly parking rates are the same whether or not you use Parkmobile. Your personal account is updated in real time so you can go online and view charges at your convenience. You can also print reports or export data for expense reimbursements. Per transaction fees vary by location and may even be free!"

How does it work:
1. Park - Pull into a Parkmobile space. Just look for our green Parkmobile sign with the cell phone logo.
2. Phone - Use our mobile app or give a call to activate your parking session and key in the parking space number.
3. Go - Get to your meeting, run your errands or do something. They'll text you when you've got about 15 minutes before your parking session expires.
