ParkPlus in Surface Lots

When you use your cell phone account to pay for parking in one of our surface lots, you automatically purchase time until the end of the current time period as well as until the end of the next time period.

For example, if you arrive in the lot at 10:45 am, you automatically purchase time until 6:00 pm, the end of the current time period, as well as 6:00 pm to 6:00 am, the end of the next time period.

This service is provided to ensure that users activating a session near the end of the current time period avoid activating a short parking session.

We encourage cell phone account holders who regularly park in CPA surface lots to maintain a sufficient account balance to pay for a 24-hour period. When you activate a parking session in a surface lot you automatically purchase time until the end of the current time period as well as the end of the next time period. If you do not have adequate funds in your account to cover the cost of your parking session, you will incur an additional minimum purchase charge when you activate a second parking session.

Remember, all unused time can be credited to your account if you call to deactivate your session.
