ParkMobile is now available for paying for parking in Metuchen, in addition to the ParkSmarter app.
With ParkMobile, you can pay for parking in several ways:
Mobile App – Download the ParkMobile app on your smartphone.
Web Browser – Pay directly through the ParkMobile website.
Text to Pay – Text "Park" to 77223 to receive a link to the payment site directly to your phone.
Call to Pay – If you don’t have a smartphone, call a dedicated phone number and use the interactive voice response (IVR) system to pay.

ParkSmarter remains available as another convenient mobile payment option. Both platforms allow you to manage your parking sessions and extend time remotely.
