Activating Parking Session in a Garage

To gain entry into a garage with gate arm technology, the permit holder will simply pull up to the entry gate and the RFID permit will be automatically read to allow entry if within the correct zone and valid timeframe.

Your parking session begins upon gaining valid access via the PARCS equipment at the entry to garage(s) associated with your zone specified Daily Usage permit.

If a ticket is pulled to gain entry to any PARCS (access-controlled area) the vehicle owner/operator is responsible for any/all fees incurred.

  2. Enter your license plate number and state. If you would like your license plate information saved for future use, check the “Remember my plate?” checkbox. Click on the “Next” button when complete. Please note: The license plate information entered here should match the vehicle you are using for the parking session. The vehicle should also have the appropriate parking permit hang tag displayed. Failure to enter the correct license plate or display your valid parking permit could result in a citation.
