First, register with Parkmobile. You can even just scan the QR code at the parking spot to begin. Download the free Parkmobile app. The app is free, but you’ll put your credit card in to actually pay the parking fee. After that, you enter the zone number listed on the sign and pick the length of time you want to park. You can even get a 15 minute heads up sent to your phone alerting you that your parking is about to expire.
