Beginning May 3, 2021 the Village will transition from a pay by space #  kiosk  setup to a pay by license plate kiosk setup.  The transition to pay by plate is necessary to accommodate the new license plate recognition (LPR) software that is utilized for parking enforcement.  

You will see some minor modifications to the kiosk. Most notably the keypad will be replaced with a alphanumeric keypad.   The actual sequence of processing payment at the kiosk will not change except for the entry of the license plate number.  Listed below are the new instructions for paying at the kiosk.

We suggest that you take a picture of your license plate with your phone.  This way you will have your plate information with you at the kiosk. 

The Village has a kiosk payment system at the Village commuter parking  lots, including the East,  West Commuter lots, Maple Street Parking Deck, and the top level of the Emerson Street Parking Deck. 

In addition to paying for parking at the kiosk commuters have 2 options to pay for parking in the Village commuter parking lots:

 The plate to the left would be entered in the kiosk as follows: BEARSBD
