Transactions made with the app are instantly available to parking enforcement personnel through their wireless handheld devices. The meters do not change because they are not able to sync in real time.

Troubleshooting

If you can’t extend your time it could be because you have already reached the maximum stay allowed by the parking operator. You may no longer be eligible to park in that zone, or you may need to start a new session, depending upon the rules set by the parking operator.

If you are parking a vehicle with a temporary license plate, please enter the temporary license plate number and state into the application and use it for the session. You can add your permanent license plate information later once you receive it. If you do not have a temporary license plate number please enter the last 6 characters of your VIN number.

Please uninstall, then reinstall the app. If that doesn’t remedy the issue, please hit the ‘Contact Us’ button. Our support team will get back to you promptly.
