Visitor and Department Parking

Visitors may park by the hour or by the day and those payments have transitioned to a contactless process through the ParkMobile app. In the interest of safety, physical pay stations at visitor lots have been taken offline to avoid the touching of shared surfaces that cannot be adequately disinfected throughout the day. Departments can also purchase daily and long-term virtual permits for department use.
