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

How to Use ParkMobile

1. Open the app and enter the zone number posted near the parking zone or shown on the map. After entering the zone number, you must specifically select University of Texas at Austin from the location options. If you skip this step, you may pay for parking at another location in a different state. 
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.
