City adds pay by phone for uptown parking

CHARLOTTE, N.C.,None — Starting Thursday, Charlotte's on-street parking program has a new feature where you can pay for on-street parking using your cellphone.

To access the service, customers must register with the Pay by Cell service provider at parkmobile.com.

1. When a motorist finds available parking, they launch a mobile app, the internet, or call toll-free (1-877-727-5301).
2. Enter the parking zone number located on the meter or nearby signage or pay station stall number.
3. Select the amount of parking time desired.
4. Adhere to all parking rules and regulations.

The city is charging a $.35 per transaction fee with every parking purchase using the new feature.
