The University uses the ParkMobile app for all metered parking payments.

How to Use ParkMobile

1. Open the app and enter the zone number posted near the meter or shown on the map.
2. Choose how long you want to park (up to the maximum allowed time).
3. Confirm your information and start your session.
4. You can monitor or extend your session remotely if needed.

To use the app in Spanish:

• Make sure you have the latest version of the app.
• Set your device language to Spanish.

Meter Rates and Time Limits

• There are nine metered parking areas across main campus.
• $1 per 15 minutes, up to 2 hours maximum, Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–5:45 p.m.
• After hours and weekends: $1 per hour (excluding Lot 116).
• Lot 116 (near the Development Office Building): $5 per day flat rate.

Note: Meters require payment 24/7 and may not be used as loading zones, even with emergency flashers.

Accessible Parking at Meters

Vehicles with a valid ADA/disability placard or plate may park at meters for free, up to the posted time limit.

Reporting a Malfunctioning Meter

To report a malfunctioning meter, call Conference Center Garage at 512-471-6126 with the meter number and your license plate. If verified and reported, citations may be dismissed for stays of 2 hours or less.

Caution: Parking longer than 2 hours—even at a malfunctioning meter—may result in a citation.

Loading Zones

You may park in any signed Loading Zone (LZ) space for up to 30 minutes with your emergency flashers on.

• No permit is required.
• Time limits and flasher use are enforced 24/7.
• Moving and re-parking in the same area does not reset the time limit.
