Mobile Phone Payment of Parking Meters
The City of Los Angeles offers the option of paying by smart phone at most on-street and off-street meters. The program is gradually being expanded throughout the City. This method of payment provides a more convenient and effortless experience for drivers.”
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) has partnered with:
PARK SMARTERTM & ParkMobile
PARK SMARTER & ParkMobile provides users with:
- Ability to receive a reminder message when a parking session is about to expire
- Ability to extend a parking session up to the posted time limit without the need to return to the meter
- Ability to register multiple vehicles and payment cards per account
The PARK SMARTERTM app is currently available at most on-street smart meters and off-street pay stations throughout the City, and does not charge a convenience fee per transaction.
The ParkMobile app is currently available at on-street smart meters in Westwood and sections of Downtown, and at on-street pay stations throughout Los Angeles. This app charges a nominal convenience fee per transaction.
Text To Pay allows for payment from a smartphone without requiring an app to be installed. Once the zone number is sent by text to 77447 a link for payment will be sent to the user’s phone. A nominal convenience fee is charged per transaction.
Customers should look for the following decals on the side of the meters or QR codes on the meter screens to identify the meters in the program offering the mobile payment options:
