New Parking System

New Parking System

The City of Modesto is testing an automated parking system in the following parking lot locations:

  • Centre Plaza
  • Flat lot on the corner of 9th and I Streets
  • Flat lot on 9th Street between Skewers and McDonalds

This system will be permanently installed in all City operated garages and parking lots.

Here's How The System Works:

  1. Enter the parking lot and find an empty space – be sure to note the parking space number painted on the ground.
  2. Enter your three digit parking space number.
  3. Make a payment by inserting bills or coins. If paying with a credit card, insert card as indicated on the machine and press the $1 or $5 button to specify the amount of time you want to park in the space.
    NOTE: Pressing the $1 or $5 buttons multiple times will increase the amount of time you will be allowed to park, resulting in a larger purchase.
  4. After you have paid for the amount of time you want, press OK and your receipt will print.**
  5. KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!

CAUTION: Adding time to a previously paid space prior to expiration will void all previously paid time. Money will be refunded at 121 Elm Street the following business day.

**Transactions will cancel if not completed in 30 seconds.
