How to Pay at a Gateless Garage

Cameras outfitted with license plate readers snap a picture of every vehicle’s license plate as it enters and exits the garage. Then the system compares how much time the driver paid for and how long they stayed. It’s that easy!

• Visiting Reading for an event? Pay the flat-rate event fee.
• In town for a meeting, lunch, or shopping? Pay the hourly rate.

Pay BEFORE your event!

Since it’s different from what we’ve done the past couple of years, we want to make sure you know payment is due within 15 minutes of entering the garage. Failure to pay within 15 minutes of entering will result in a violation being mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.

So remember to “Pay before you Walk Away!”

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Flat-rate event parking goes into effect two hours before the start of an event.
2. Parkers who arrive in a garage or lot prior to the start of flat-rate event parking must purchase hourly parking at regular rates up until the time the event rate goes into effect.
3. The system will prevent parkers from purchasing hourly parking beyond the time the event parking rate begins.
4. Once the event rate goes into effect, parkers may extend their parking time by purchasing flat-rate event parking.
