MyParking App Frequently Asked Questions

If you do not have enough money in your account for the entire duration of your stay. The app will notify you that you need to add more funds to cover a full session prior to starting the parking session. If you choose to not add funds prior to starting the session, the system will deactivate your session when your funds run out. This means that you could receive a ticket for the time you are parked without payment. To avoid this, please ensure you have enough money in your account to cover the entire duration of time you require.

You can add funds to your account by clicking on your User Profile in the top right corner, click Add Funds, select the amount you want to add (you must add a minimum payment of $25) and click Add Funds. Please note, if your account balance is low and you add funds to your account, you must first stop your current parking session and start a new session as the system will not automatically extend your parking session when more funds are added.

Can I automatically load funds onto my account using the MyParking app?

Yes, you can set up auto top up by clicking on your user profile in the top right corner, click Add Funds and then click Set Up Card Information. Once you have set up your card information you can enable or disable auto top up by clicking Auto Top Up. By enabling that button, it will automatically reload your account every time your balance drops below $5.00 with your selected auto top up amount.
