If paying with coins (nickels, dimes, quarters, and 1-dollar coins), insert the coin payment into the coin slot for the amount of time you would like to park.
If paying with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express):
1
Insert and remove your credit card or credit card-branded debit card (mag stripe up and to the right) into the Smart Single Space Meter.
2
With the white [^] and [v] buttons, select the amount of time you would like for your parking session.
3
You will see the total cost of your parking session displayed below the selected time.
4
Press the green [OK] button to confirm your payment, or red [CANCEL] button to stop your transaction.
5
After 35 seconds, the meter will authorize the payment shown on the screen if neither button is pressed.
You may also pay your meter through the ParkAlbany App, available for both Android and iOS. To learn more, please visit app.parkalbany.com
