Simply text 30202, enter your zone number, and follow the ensuing prompts. You will be asked to enter your parking length of time and license plate.<\/p><p>People can still pay for parking by way of meters or the Park Mobile app, although the text-to-pay option was created specifically to make it easier to pay, according to Park Harrisburg Senior Manager Nancy Keim.<\/p><p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing in the parking industry is people do not want to keep downloading apps (on their phone),\u201d Keim said. \u201cWe wanted to provide an additional contactless payment option.\u201d<\/p><p>Text-to-pay is a growing source of payment in cities across the country, Keim added, and is showing an effective way to collect payments in places like Atlanta, New Orleans, and Richmond.<\/p><p>Park Harrisburg staff will begin posting new signs above meters in the coming days, starting in Harrisburg\u2019s Central Business District, and working their way out. There are a total of 168 on-street pay stations in the city.<\/p><p>Street meters are enforced 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On-street parking is free downtown from 5-7 p.m. in the downtown district area; its map can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/parkharrisburg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Free-Parking-Boundaries-June2018.pdf\">https:\/\/parkharrisburg.com\/free-downtown-parking-evenings\/<\/a><\/p><p>Rates in the Central Business District are $4.00 per hour, while all parking south of the Central Business District and in Midtown run $2.00 per hour.
